The word “environment” is often used in the same breath as sustainability, efficiency, and greenhouse gas emissions. An expanded definition of environments evokes a more profound sense of consciousness in the spaces in which we find ourselves; the objects and rituals we use as forms or tools of communication; and the terms of hierarchy — architectural and beyond. Our environments aren’t just the spaces we take up or the ones that surround us as the seasons change — they’re everything we see, say, and do.
