“SEED is more than simply a “stamp of approval,” Lisa Abendroth, one of the SEED project leaders and teacher of design says, ‘it’s a tool for developing design projects, evaluating them as they progress, and assessing them when completed. So it will be of critical value to designers and architects who want to ensure they are developing socially responsible projects.’”
