China is building cities for a 20 to 40 percent increase in population. India is quickly growing. The carbon footprints of that and other development around the world are overwhelming.
My buildings are all on budget.
Ninety percent of the buildings we live in and around aren't architecture. No, that's not right - 98 percent.
