Traditional sustainability is still dominating the wider discussion: it is still about being less bad, minimizing damage, and reducing energy consumption.

Changing to a method of practice that creates beneficial footprints in turn allows designers to come up with an architecture that celebrates human life on this planet instead of merely minimizing ecological footprints.
