Green design goes prime time this June when PBS airs Design: e2: The Economies of Being Environmentally Conscious. Narrated by Brad Pitt and featuring our own editor in chief, Susan Szenasy, the six-episode documentary explores issues in sustainable architecture, highlighting seminal examples from New York to China. Interviewing such pioneers as William McDonough and Richard Cook, the series promises to raise awareness about a topic we can no longer afford to ignore.
