“I hate the word ‘sustainability’.” Hear the prizewinning Mexican architect Tatiana Bilbao reflect upon one of the buzzwords of contemporary architecture, which she feels should be a natural part of all human activities.
“We recycle, we save energy automatically because we don’t have resources. In Mexico, whatever I throw away is used seven or eight more times after me.” Coming from a country with few resources, Bilbao is used to not wasting these resources like she feels they do in many wealthy countries: “You don’t do a building that needs air-conditioning in the weather we have, because it’s wasting energy which you don’t have. We don’t have money to pay for it.”
