GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE
“ GREEN CONSTRUCTION AND HOW WE DESIGN FOR THAT HAS TWO ASPECTS TO IT . ONE IS MECHANICS ; HOW WE CALCULATE THE BENEFITS AND PROMOTE IT . THE OTHER ONE IS HOW WE THINK ABOUT THE QUALITY OF LIFE OR PEOPLE WHO INHABIT THIS SPACE ”
Grant , founder of Grant Associates says : “ Green construction and how we design for that has two aspects to it . One is mechanics ; how we calculate the benefits and promote it . The other one is how we think about the quality of life or people who inhabit this space . The way we operate is changing - we need a different language , ways of working , and we need to think much more three dimensional and holistically about projects . We start to worry about systems , water management alongside the aesthetic , the visual , the spatial . Green infrastructure has brought another way of thinking .”
