no problem. I'm actually new to sustainable design but very interested. We are actually competing in a Solar Decathlon competition at my school in MIzzou. It is an international competition with twenty schools all over the world. We are to design a house that is energy efficient and use sustainable materials. You can go to the Solar Decathlon website and see it, it is really interesting.

AIA Architecture News


Each project in the "Top Ten Green Projects" awards by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Committee on the Environment (COTE) for 2008 was evaluated on ten measures, documented extensively on the COTE Web site. These include design innovation, community context and land use, longevity, bioclimatic design, water and energy conservation, materials, and indoor environment.

The ten winners — plus one honorable mention — approach sustainable design through an exemplary integration of architecture, technology, and natural systems

The Artwork of Rex Ray




Recently I came across the artwork of Rex Ray - a graphic designer and artist based in San Fransisco, CA who creates the most lovely pieces using collage on wood with resin. I have to admit that I was never a big fan of collage, but his pieces are so modern and fun and remind me very much of the work by artist Jenn Ski, whom I also adore.
