Sustainable Design-Need Your Help

rebelliousz_poet

Currently I am working on a competition and am looking for prescedents in sustainable design that are progressive and work at a large scale. Anyone have any suggestions? i.e. Any sustainable new settlements? developments? or Mix use buildings? or a Webpage with very good, succinct, and free information? All Ideas or references are welcomed.

We have featured a bunch of sustainable-oriented projects at Land+Living... check out the Green category, etc.

While we don't tend to feature a ton of original information or content, we do provide links to good info that we have found. Hope this is helpful...

I saw a lecture by one of the founders, Joe Van Belleghem, back in May....he was outstanding, and I'm talking about a developer here, kids.

The project that he featured was this one:

Sorry try again...

Try Bill Dunster - ZEDFactory

[url=http://www.zedfactory.com[/url]

He's done a whole load of sustainable housing developments here in the UK, most notably BedZED. Plus I noticed in the BD this week that he's looking for Part II and newly qualified Part III students.

Currently designing / building an Eco-house from straw bails. There are a couple of exemplars in West Wales and Devon / Cornwall but the original experts are in Nebraska.



This book is very good for general eco reference - new edition.
