arcCA 09.3: Beyond LEED


Beyond LEED” looks at emerging issues in sustainability. It is the 3rd quarter 2009 issue of arcCA (Architecture California), which was, from 2000 to 2012, the quarterly print journal of the AIA California Council.

For this issue, we met the forest halfway, limiting the printed thematic material to  a multi-vocal segment, “Mad Scientists, Rabble Rousers, and Other Thoughtful People”; David Meckel’s much-loved “. . . and Counting”; and synopses of the other articles. The full articles were available online. Other than a version of this paragraph, there was no Editor’s Comment. We compressed the AIACC Awards section, but did not consider relegating it to cyberspace altogether, valuing as we do the tangible keepsake. Overall, we held the issue to its typical non-Awards-issue size, a modest experiment in semi-virtuality and resource conservation.
