In the March 5, 2007 issue of Newsweek, an article ran as part of the Project Green feature that spotlights four of the AIA's Top Ten Green Project award winners for 2006. From the article...
The Green Movement is so much more than a referendum on what kind of car we drive--or don't. In a post-McMansion age, our homes, offices and community facilities have become a reflection of our newly green values, whether that just means replacing incandescent light bulbs with fluorescent, or redoing our entire living spaces with solar panels, compost heaps and hemp wallpaper. Each year the AIA singles out the nation's Top Ten Green Projects, based on the incorporation of so-called sustainable design concepts. Here, we spotlight four of 2006's winners.
One award winner that caught my eye was The Animal Foundation Dog Adoption Park in Las Vegas with its cool and energy efficient "dog bungalows" (see photo above). Very innovative ideas for this wonderful facility.
