Rolling Huts by Tom Kundig

National Design Award winners were announced last week by the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum. Tom Kundig won the Architecture Design award. Statement from Cooper-Hewitt:

"Kundig’s projects seamlessly integrate architecture and landscape, and pay uniquely meticulous attention to detail and the materials used, which are often left in their natural, raw state. His ingenuity lies in the experiential nature of his work, the use of kinetic architectural features, and the reinvention of structural elements that are often overlooked, such as doors, windows, and stairs."

Shrinking the Carbon Footprint of Metropolitan America

From the Brookings Institution:

Brookings released a report that ranks the carbon footprint of the nation’s top 100 metropolitan areas. For the first time, the report quantifies a metropolitan area’s carbon footprint based upon carbon emissions from highway transportation and residential energy consumption and lists metropolitan areas by total metric tons of carbon emissions per capita in 2005. The report offers recommendations on how the federal government should step up its support of metropolitan efforts to shrink their carbon footprints.
