Edi Schwarz was a rock star every time he would visit Manila and advocate sustainability. Whether it be in a forum, convention, television or a school, his passion for blue skies would inspire architects, other professionals, students and just anyone he met. His passion fueled long hours with his fans even if it robbed him of sleep before hopping onto a plane for the next gig. To Edi, even the smallest step to sustainability was worth encouraging and celebrating. He rocked but it was never about him. To Edi, it was about helping keep the balance so there would always be enough for tomorrow. His humility, kindness, generosity and passion inspired people to take up the challenge and build hope. We will always be grateful for the chance to have shared life with such a beautiful person. Gone too soon, but with every project that embodies the 5 target issues, we will know, that's Edi's legacy.
