Steve Mouzon on learning from green buildings

Eco-designer Steve Mouzon develops new buildings that thrive by learning from old structures, and highlights these connections in his books and online. Treehugger’s Llyod Alter caught up with Mouzon at GreenBuild to get insight on sustainable places and spaces.

Mouzon says sustainable places are:

Nourishable
Accessible
Serviceable
Securable

And sustainable buildings are:

Lovable
Durable
Flexible
Frugal
