Lance Hosey has written an interesting article entitled “The G-List – Is the rift between design excellence and environmental performance getting wider?” in Architect Magazine, more or less in counterpoint to other recent articles (e.g., see Vanity Fair, August 2010) lauding the “greatest buildings in the last 30 years” and which were sadly and dramatically lacking in examples of great “green” buildings. Hosey, certainly disappointed, asked 150 green building experts and advocates—including architects, engineers, educators, and critics from the U.S., the UK, Europe, and Asia—to name “the five most-important green buildings since 1980” and has compiled his “G-List” accordingly.
Includes a very good slideshow.
Inspiring.
