Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

From vast architectural projects to modest one-off pieces of salvaged furniture, "Green Design" shows how the design world has responded to the ecological challenges of the twenty-first century. Examining emergent trends such as recycling, ethical sourcing, social sustainability, and more, it showcases existing green innovations, visionary projects, and a future in which technology and ethics merge.
