This website features a lot of the new significant Architectural works. This page is full of all the works with the tag of sustainability.

Wow! This architecture is amazing! It goes perfectly with what we were talking about in glass and some of the ideas we mentioned, for example building buildings with solar panels or adding solar panels to buildings that already exist. I wonder if we could build a building that will make the green house better off. For example somehow collect rainfall to where we could reuse it to water the plants. Just an idea! :)

These are so cool! I think that if we take ideas from each one of them them we can create another building in Chinquapin (just like the green duplex). One step at a time we can begin to make Chinquapin a much greener place.
