e² design, Series 1 & 2

6 x 26 & 6 x 26 HD
Broadcaster:  PBS

Narrated by Golden Globe and Academy Award winner Brad Pitt, e² design explores the complex social, political, cultural, environmental and economic issues of sustainable architecture. Traversing the globe, the series chronicles important and exciting stories of green architecture made reality, in New York, Chicago, China and rural Mexico.

The building of shelter consumes one-sixth of the world’s fresh water supply, one-fourth of its wood harvest, two-fifths of its fossil fuels and manufactured materials, and one-half of its waste stream. A new attitude to construction is not only possible but also completely necessary for continued urban and rural survival.

e² is a groundbreaking and critically acclaimed PBS series about the innovators and pioneers who envision a better quality of life on earth: socially, culturally, economically and ecologically. The series explores attainable solutions to pressing environmental and social challenges, and its stories are culled from a variety of fields including design, energy, transport, water, food and urban development. e² is characterised by a poetic combination of compelling storytelling, provocative cinematography and an emotive original music score.
