Christoph Gielen was born in Bonn, Germany, but has lived in New York most of his life. He specializes in conducting photographic aerial studies of infrastructure in its relation to land use, exploring the intersection of art and environmental politics. With his work, Gielen hopes to trigger a reevaluation of our built environment, to ask: What kind of development can be considered sustainable? www.christophgielen.com

"In conventional suburban development, an average American home
uses 108
million BTUs (British Thermal Units)
per year for operation (heating, cooling, lighting, etc.).
But that same
house uses 132 million BTUs per year in transportation energy use--
for a
total of 240 million BTU/year.
In other words, for that average home,
55% of its total energy use is for transportation,
and 45% is for
operations." www.buildinggreen.com
