The green building movement has been successful in recent years in large part because it has focused on looking to the future, looking to what we as architects, interior designers, and urban planners can change for the better rather than dwell on factors that cannot be altered. The authors offer this thorough overview of where the green building movement has taken us, supported by myriad examples of commercial interiors projects across the globe, both new and retrofit, from some of the world’s leading progressive designers. Perkins Eastman’s LEED Gold designs for the BBC Worldwide Americas Headquarters in New York is among the projects highlighted in Chapter 9, “Substance and Style.”
