Home owners enthusiastic about environmental responsibility should be interested in the upcoming, The Green House: New Directions in Sustainable Architecture and Design ^[1] exhibit at the National Building Museum (map ^[2]). 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 ^[3] 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 ^[4] is a good place to start.
