A MORE SUSTAINABLE URBAN ENVIRONMENT If Patrick Condon had his way, every new development would allow rainwater to infiltrate the earth at a minimum rate of 1/25 inch (one millimeter) per hour. This standard is the linchpin in a complete strategy for attaining urban environments that are compact, efficient, and harmoniously integrated with natural water systems.

So when architects, engineers, and developers gathered in Portland, Oregon recently for the Architecture + Energy Awards, one couldn't help but acknowledge that this celebration of sustainable design comes amid tough times.
