Shanghai Diaries_Day 43

When does nature become relevant in the design of spaces? Should architecture and urban design treat sustainable design as an integral component of human existence or a checklist of items to be ticked off to get a certificate? Does sustainable design really add value to architectural and urban design or is it just another impediment in the path of revenue generation? How and when did "sustainable" and "design" become separate entities? Should they be distinct and isolated? Should one come before the other?
