ABSTRACT
“A design that is green is one that is aware of and respects nature and the natural order of things; it is a design that minimizes the negative human impacts on the natural surroundings, materials, resources, and processes that prevail in nature. It is not necessarily a concept that denies the need for any human impact, for human existence is part of nature too. Rather, it endorses the belief that humankind can exist, multiply, build and prosper in accord with nature and the earth’s natural processes without inflicting irreversible damage to those processes and the long-term habitability of the planet.”
