Conservation Design Forum
At CDF, we see water as the most vital resource for the whole of nature, which by definition includes people. This philosophy drives all of our design projects- health facilities, residential neighborhoods, parks, interpretive centers, retail stores, or anything else. We strive to understand the true natural and cultural spirit of a place, and express it in the design.
For 15 years, CDF has been a leader in the ecological design movement. We have pioneered green technologies and monitored them over time, to ensure constant improvement. We accomplish multiple benefits with each design element. This innovation adds value as does our diverse professional mix of team members.
Notes from the Forum
|
There are at least six principles that must be attended to in all
design programs, if we really are to sustain the ability for next
generations to have at least as many choices for free, clean, and
healthful living as we have. A principle is a statement with which no
one in the colloquium would disagree.
