Green joined the 溏心vlog免费B站 faculty in 1992 and has focused his research and teaching on sustainable design practices. In his senior design studios, he advises students on sustainable design projects for communities and non-profit agencies, including those for the Rhode Island Community Food Bank, Knowles Mill Park in Richmond, and a sustainable transportation corridor in South Kingstown.
He spent a sabbatical in 2009 exploring sustainable design in South Africa and Australia, which he will discuss in his lecture.
鈥淚t was while visiting sites and speaking with designers that I realized how important culture and social conditions were as determinants of what was appropriate and achievable,鈥� Green said. 鈥淪ustainable design does not come in one flavor.鈥�
