"Sustainable architecture involves a combination of values: aesthetic, environmental,
social, political, and moral. It's about using one's imagination and technical knowledge
to engage in a central aspect of the practice -- designing and building in harmony with
our environment. The smart architect thinks rationally about a combination of issues
including sustainability, durability, longevity, appropriate materials, and sense of place.
The challenge is finding the balance between environmental considerations and
econmic constraints. Consideration must be given to the needs of our communities and
the ecosystem that supports them." -- Sanuel Mockbee, Auburn University
