Weekly Round-Up

The Share section of our site saw some great posts this week, and it's our privilege to highlight them here for you:

First up, Metropolis Magazine has announced their 2008 Next Generation® Design Competition. "We call on your innovative design solutions at all scales and sizes," reads their post. "Products, interiors, buildings, landscapes, communication systems, or anything else you’ve dreamed up—for handling this most precious and most threatened natural resource. The time for new thinking on water is now." Get all the details here.

EllenLeroyLeed cross posted a super-informative piece about the cost-benefit analysis involved in building green from her site www.sustainabuild.net. Anyone considering new construction or an intensive remodel should take a look at her post, "Hard Facts on Soft Costs."

And, just today, the people from Slow Home posted their Slow Home Report for Oct. 3, 2007. Take a video tour of the Union Square Loft project with architect Paul Cha. It's almost as good as being there!
