This article is about the notion of reductive and restorative sustainability. As the quotation goes, reductive sustainability means ‘initiatives that incorporate past waste into new products or use resources more efficiently’ while restorative sustainability refers to ‘initiatives that have a net positive impact.’
The guide promoted “Three Rs”, which include “reduce, reuse and recycle” as well as the concept of “Five Rs: Reuse, Recycle, Repair and Restore.” The term of reductive sustainability may not enough to be ‘sustainable’. Considering about the carbon emission and carbon foot print of buildings, the article suggests to improve the restorative sustainability, which contains another two ‘Rs’ (repair and restore) to solve the relevant effects on the built environment.
Personally, i think the way of using materials in the design project through all industry should be well considered to reduce the embodied energy.
