The European Center for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies and The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design have joined forces to present an innovative and challenging new public program: GREEN GOOD DESIGN.
GOOD DESIGN™ was founded in Chicago in 1950 by Eero Saarinen, Charles and Ray Eames, and Edgar Kaufmann Jr. to promote and foster a greater public understanding and acceptance of modern design.
In 2017, seven decades later, GOOD DESIGN™ aims to bring a parallel public appreciation and awareness for an equally revolutionary design approach—a new way of design thinking led by a current generation of visionary architects, designers, urban planners, corporations, governments, individuals, and private and public institutions for design, as well as a public environment centered around the ideals of energy conservation, the reduction of toxic waste and greenhouse gases, the diminishing dependence on fossil fuels, and a sensitivity for waste, pollution, and the depletion of the world's energy resources. This new design approach centers on the idea of repairing our worldwide environments with sustainability and a total ecological restoration.
GREEN GOOD DESIGN's goal is to bestow international recognition to those outstanding individuals, companies, organizations, governments, and institutions—together with their products, services, programs, ideas, and concepts—that have forwarded exceptional thinking and inspired greater progress towards a healthier and more sustainable universe.
Products or buildings should have been designed or built after 1 January 2013
Open to any person/institution who has made a significant contribution to sustainability locally, nationally or internationally and any government/local government who has implemented a sustainability plan
