“I am somewhat a product of the environmental movement of the 1970s. I grew up around construction, particularly residential remodeling projects, [but] it was the advent of the Earth Day celebrations, and then the Arab Oil Embargo of the early ’70s, that galvanized my conviction to combine my interests in building and design with my concerns for the environment and energy efficiency. Designing buildings to rely less on imported energy and that lived ‘lightly’ on the environment became my focus, and I stuck with it.”
