More than a decade ago, Simon Guy and Graham Farmer named the environment as "contested terrain," categorised the debated logics, acknowledged the legitimacy of interpretive differences, and called for a framework by which a plurality of voices might be heard, and a transformational process – toward "a very different dialogue about sustainable architecture" – might be effected. The sustainability conversation continues, as do the debates and differences, raising questions as to how "very different" the dialogue has become, and whether there remains a vacancy of communication and understanding that another framework might help to fill. This paper turns to the Christian theology of kenosis, and parallel concepts in other world religions, in order to reveal and posit a cross-cultural construct that, arguably, offers the potential for transformation of inter-logic engagement, as Guy and Farmer espoused. Kenosis is explored, however, not as a religious proposal or universal prescription, but as a flexible tool for encouraging hermeneutic discourse in a pluralistic society, and for fostering attitudinal change amongst designers, ‘development actors’, and all who participate in, or are affected by, the design of the built environment and its promise of sustainability. The work of Manuel Doncel in the field of kenotic creation and cosmobioevolution, coupled with Steve Odin’s interfaith exploration of kenosis, provides an informative point of origin. Thereafter, the potential of kenosis is examined against the writings of philosopher Walter Benjamin and architect Paolo Soleri, each providing extraordinary critiques of the modern metropolis and strong views of the relationship between humankind and nature, but from significantly diverse perspectives. The juxtaposition of their work, and its extension to current and future contexts, more fully opens up the global potential of a kenotic approach to environmental, cultural and social sustainability by design.

Among four dimensions of sustainability (environmental, economic, social, and cultural), it is the latter aspect that is least examined by scholars. However, understanding how culture contributes to the long-term sustainability of communities and societies is one key to a holistic understanding of sustainability itself, and is worthy of scholarly attention. This paper argues that the ethic of long-term sustainability can be informed by aesthetics and art in their embodied, institutionalized form. The resilience potential of art organizations is important for configuring the long-term impact of aesthetics and its place for future generations. As art organizations struggle with addressing the consequences of economic recessions and finding new models of conducting their temporal business, their very existence and preservation contributes to the long-term sustainability of communities and societies as a whole. This paper suggests two avenues for further research: first, the values and ideals embedded in strategic priorities of art institutions and promoted through their programs contribute to building resilience capital and serve as the foundation of long-term institutional survival; second, by fulfilling their institutional missions through both short and long-term strategies and acting 'sustainably,' managers of art organizations ensure institutional endurance, thus vouching safe the interests of future generations.
