Exhibition Details
The Green House: New Directions in Sustainable Architecture & Design
- January 12–March 8, 2009
- HGA Gallery
Photographic images and drawings of 22 projects from around the world document the emergence of a new brand of sustainable building. Architects and builders now view sustainability as a catalyst for creative home design and have also begun to think strategically about the environmental costs of building. These new houses are conceived as systems with extended life cycles that must meet green standards throughout the design, construction, and living process. Environmental responsibility is an integral, but not always conspicuous, aspect of the contemporary house.
