Much of what is currently regarded as ‘green’ is predicated on a pre‐modern, even Romantic, notion of nature; with sustainable design often overtly seeking to readdress the balance in nature by countering man's destructive forces. Here, Fabiola López‐Durán and Nikki Moore pursue a more nuanced view of sustainability and architecture through a lineage of ideas, embedded within Lamarckian eugenics ‐ the early 20th‐century movement that sought the advancement of the human race through the transformation of the environment.
