Home owners enthusiastic about environmental responsibility should be interested in the upcoming, The Green House: New Directions in Sustainable Architecture and Design exhibit at the National Building Museum (map). Opening May 20th on the the first level, the exhibit features a full-scale, furnished version of a green house and a resource center showcasing new developments in green technology and products. If you haven’t been to the NBM, seeing the Great Hall alone is well worth the visit.

Being more of an urban guy myself, another exhibit coming along a bit later this summer has me pretty excited. More on that later.

For more information on environmental design, Architecture Week Magazine is a good place to start.
