The starting point for defining sustainable/green design is found in the definition prepared by the World Commission on Environment and Development (The Brundtland Commission) in its report Our Common Future (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1987):
"Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
The Ten Shades Of Green exhibit hints at the broad range of concepts related to green/sustainable design: "There is no such thing as a green architecture or a green aesthetic. Instead there are countless ways design can address and synthesize green issues". (Architectural League of New York. Ten shades of green. Retrieved October 9, 2002, from http://www.archleague.org/ tenshadesofgreen/10shades.html )
