More than three decades ago ‘sustainability’ began to occupy important places in architectural debates and practices. Architects, engineers, clients, politicians and others at least seem to agree that sustainability must be faced within the architectural design domains. However, behind this apparent consensus many ambiguities, contradictions and open questions emerge. Perspectives vary largely regarding what the issues are, which scales and elements to take into account and through which design strategies and means to address these. The challenge of how to give meaning to sustainability in architectural design practice remains highly contested. Too often easy rhetorical gestures mask the lack of substantial change and commitment. Thus the widespread deployment of the ‘sustainable’ adjective resulted in a far-reaching erosion of meaning while simultaneously many crises grow even more acute. This talk is based on the conviction that the problem is not the concept of sustainability in itself, but rather what design practitioners do with the concept in their design studio, office and on site. The talk seeks to address central difficulties and controversies of enacting sustainability in practice and introduces selected conceptual shifts in order to translate sustainability into architectural design practices in a more meaningful and comprehensive ways.
