The young architects featured on Building's cover this week have grown up with an awareness of sustainability of the built environment as an ever more pressing issue which needs to be addressed for the protection of current and future generations. For this group of professionals, however, sustainability does not mean the "eco-bling" of a decade ago, or even purely green construction, critical though reducing the built environment's carbon emissions is to meeting global aspirations for a cleaner planet. Instead, for them, and many of their generation, built environment sustainability means something broader and more fundamental: put simply, a built environment that can sustain its current, and future, population.
