Emerging Forms

For this issue of FRAMEWORKS, the CED faculty was invited to feature a favorite, innovative project—experimental or built. Given that the causes of global warming are directly linked to how we build and operate the built environment, the planning and design disciplines have never been more critical to the future of the planet. Through instruction, research programs, and in their pace-setting design practices, faculty members at Wurster Hall are preparing students to assume a leadership role in creating a more sustainable future. This requires whole-systems thinking and is a deeply interdisciplinary endeavor. Since 1959, CED has set the standard and continues today to be the model of environmental design.
