Architecture 2030

I have to link to this great website about Green Building. It's called Architecture 2030 and it outlines the case and the path toward more sustainable building practices. I've never seen these ideas presented in such a visually compelling way.

I also found the Ecological Design Institute today. They've got a good range of projects and resources. Their book list and 5 principles of design are well done.

On a lighter note Metropolis Magazine has a feature on aerial photographer Olivo Barbieri. He uses a tilt-shift lens in a helicopter to create images that look strangely similar to model mock-ups of famous places (especially the photos from Las Vegas, the phony facades must come through even clearer somehow). It's definately worth a look.
