close“[Sustainability] has indeed become a container word, and so we are using it less and less. We speak more frequently of spatial quality, which embodies various disciplines and integrates ecological, social, economic and architectural aspects.
Also, we like the term cultural sustainability, which (not only) focuses on the technical aspects of sustainability (energy efficiency, water recuperation, et cetera), but considers other aspects such as history, collective memory, personal geographies, identity, et cetera. Essentially, we think it is about building communities, creating places rather than spaces.”
