In Designed for the Future, author Jared Green asks 80 of today's most innovative architects, urban planners, landscape architects, journalists, artists and environmental leaders the same question: what gives you hope that a sustainable future is possible? Their imaginative answers — covering everything from the cooling strategies employed at Cambodia's ancient temple city of Angkor Wat to the use of cutting-edge eco-friendly mushroom board as a replacement for Styrofoam — show the way to our future success on earth and begin a much-needed dialogue about what we can realistically accomplish in the decades ahead.
