Join Andres Edwards and Sim Van der Ryn as they discuss their new books, The  Sustainability Revolution: Portrait of a Paradigm Shift and Design  for Life: The Architecture of Sim Van der Ryn. As an educator, author, media designer and environmental systems consultant, Edwards's work provides a comprehensive primer on the history, evolution and  future of the movement toward sustainability. Sharing his years of experience as a teacher and using his building designs as examples, Van der Ryn shows us that buildings are not objects but organisms, and cities are not machines but complex ecosystems. Design for Life illustrates how Van der Ryn came to see the shifting patterns in nature and how these patterns profoundly affect how people live and work in the structures we build.
