Design: e2 - China: From Red to Green?

submitted by mauz15

1 decade 5 years 10 months 1 week ago

With the world's worst pollution, China desperately needs to go Green. China's soaring population and rapid industrialization have created a boom in urbanization that is unprecedented in human history.

To try to tackle this global issue, 'China: From Red to Green?' explores green design solutions in both theory and practice, including Steve Holl's Linked Hybrid project, which will have the largest residential geothermal heating/cooling and grey-water recycling system in the world upon completion.

William McDonough shares his innovative plans to make China an entirely sustainable country and the ways architecture can be both profitable and environmentally intelligent.

Moving this video to mauz15's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter mauz15.

just voted for this video; very good, sobering perspective on the environmental impacts of accelerated growth; i hope more people watch this.

to the OP, i suggest you post on reddit and digg as well, where it will get a lot more exposure. even though this documental focuses on china, it also brings into our collective attention the rest of the industrialized nations and our own energy consumption as well.

do as we say, not as we do?

Is this narrated by Brad Pitt?
