Throughout April, we have been covering a number of design events [5] and trends that seem to increasingly capture the public’s attention. We like that being green doesn’t mean being crunchy. Rather, eco-consciousness [6] is transcending stereotypes and rethinking how we live and relate to our world. As public awareness increases, we see that people are finally understanding that green design [7] is vital and viable. Even after the hey-dey of Earth Week [8], we are loving that there is such a thirst for eco-design knowledge that even publications not traditionally known for skewing green are offering environmental news coverage.
The NY Times [9] created an interactive graphic [10] that explains passive home design [11].
The Wall Street Journal [12] asked four architects to create designs for the most energy-efficient homes [13] they could imagine.
Core77 [14] highlights a video from the White House blog which features Van Jones [15] discussing the benefits of green roofs.
The Chicago Tribune [16] shares a preview [17] of Pete Nelson’s fifth book, “New Treehouses of the World.”
