Just curious about different M.Arch schools and wondering which of them have a good sustainable design/ architecture emphasis. I'm assuming Berkeley and MIT?

None of the ones you suggested that's for sure.

actually you are right about Berkley. Yes they have major focus on sustainability along with Oregon I believe and Parsons in east coast that I know off.
I don't get why people have to be rude in this forum.... when someone is asking a simple question.
Good luck

Because they are often lazy questions which should require some initial effort from the asker beforehand, that's just common courtesy, not putting in that effort and trying to leach off others' time and efforts...THAT is rude in my book.

wouldn't you consider good design to also consider a highly sustainable approach.
I.E. never hear Foster, Renzo Piano, John Patkau etc talk about LEED / Built Green / Sustainable attributes etc. but I consider their designs well resolved and often include very sustainable strategies. I appreciate that they aren't checklist designers.

Really, who cares about sustainability in architecture. Perhaps your future clients if they are looking to soothe their white guilt a little (but not enough to build say, a smaller house).
Or perhaps the PR department of your future firm who are looking for a marketing edge.
Otherwise, no-one cares beyond lip service.

Plenty of people care about it, I for one care about it a great deal in my work and outside of work.

What about Columbia University Architecture School?
Seems like a good choice considering the global character of architecture and architectural education today.
Also Andraos' ecological approach is to be supported. My main issue with Andraos and a lot of architectural thought coming out of NYC is that it is so deeply caught up in the global "corporate" architectural system of our day that there is no way they can make serious critiques of the underlying dynamics that would result in an ethically sound "ecological" or "sustainable" architecture. The current global crisis around critical issues in the environment and urbanism requires a much more profound approach to architecture and philosophy then is possible using this kind of narrow view of ecology. What I am arguing for is an ecosophy in architecture around the ideas organized by Felix Guattari in his book "Three Ecologies" (on which I am to write my paper) where he outlines the scope of a broader ecology thinking..
