James Garrison's work has shown that sustainability must be considered as a matter of continuous evolution in terms of both evolution and technique. Rather than follow an arbitrary set of guidelines, Garrison's holistic approach to sustainable architecture learns from notions such as passive lighting and ventilation, long life, and self-sufficiency. This approach to sustainable design contrasts with artificially-tempered environments of the international style which ignored climactic distinctions and thus required tremendous amounts of energy. Garrison in his designs has offered alternatives to the sealed air-conditioned envelopes of buildings that advertise planned obsolescence, machinery, and the control of nature.
