The Culture of Sustainability
Take one look at the 10-chapter, 135-page Noisette Community Master Plan, and you get the distinct impression that its authors took Burnham’s words quite literally. Indeed, the firms comprising the master planning team are some of the building industry’s heaviest hitters—Burt Hill
Kosar Rittleman of Washington, DC; BNIM Architects, Kansas City,MO; Urban Design Associates of Pittsburgh,PA; Rolf Sauer Associates, Philadelphia,PA; and Applied Ecological Concepts of Wisconsin. But what’s more impressive than the
plan’s scope or its authors, however, is the fact that the 3,000-acre redevelopment effort under way with the city of North Charleston, SC, is a community partnership guided by sustainable principles to develop an environmentally conscious, socially just city for the 21st century.
