Cleaner Greener Materials

Poptech is one of those website that I need to visit on a monthly basis, and this month I found the 20 minute presentation given by Blaine Brownell.

Like my friends at GIGA, Brownell is:

an architect obsessed with sustainable building materials. He introduces a wonderful world of products made from repurposed materials and provides a glimpse of what a post-fossil fuel world might look like.

through this clip, we are given a glimpse into some of the coolest new products that architects are able to incorporate into their designs and projects.  My hope is that we will see these products in China as China’s development plans still include billions of square meters of space to be built, and having already surpassed the US as the top green house emitter, I see building materials as a way that China could find huge energy savings.

To read more about Blaine Brownell, you can go to Worldchanging, you can read his book on Google Reader, or you can visit Transtudio to learn more about what he and his firm are up to.
