Growth. It was the buzzword at last week’s Greenbuild and as someone who attends multiple A+D events a year, it’s the first time that I’ve heard it associated with a tradeshow in 2009.
Perhaps it is the niche market, federal money, or relevance of sustainable design but Greenbuild’s numbers were up this year. The conference, which is less than a decade old, celebrated a much-quoted 30,000 visitors.

I'm obsessed with cars. As a kid I would memorize everything about them. I think it surprised my family, as my eyesight percluded my chances of driving. Nonetheless, I would sketch new dashboard designs, quiz car dealers on MPG and horsepower, and drive the rest of my family—who honestly didn’t care as much about cars—a bit crazy. So, it is with some childlike glee I can tell you about two new cars, and one concept car that are attempting to finally, truly decrease emissions.

A truly fascinating read in this month's
Harvard Design Magazine arguing for architecture to embrace more mass production and step away from custom design. I found the read exhilarating as it embraced some of today's intriguing ideas: rapid prototyping, 3D printing, and Building Information Management (BIM). I actually found the article through
