ArchitectureWeek Description An examination of how to reconcile the modern world's unceasing demand for energy with the absolute necessity to preserve the integrity of the biosphere. The fundamental message is that our dependence on fossil fuels must be reduced, not because of any imminent resource shortages, but because their burning damages the biosphere and because reliance on more expensive supplies and Middle Eastern crude oil causes economic and security problems.
