The green building sector is replacing mainstream practices as the incentive to develop buildings, furniture and technologies that are energy efficient and environmentally sustainable grows.
According to DesignBuildSource.com, green building in the US, especially in New York and Los Angeles, has taken off to the point where it is celebrated, promoted and recognized on a level that may soon outgrow mainstream industry efforts.
An exhibition for green interior design innovation, Dwell on Design, has brought to the surface the broad green industry that is currently practicing in the U.S. This year the exhibition is in L.A.
Among the items featured at the show was the Cricket Trailer, which was developed by NASA architect Garrett Finney. It is made of recycled furniture and runs entirely on solar photovoltaics, making it energy efficient.
What makes this green exhibition stand out from the rest is that it takes a creative and hedonistic perspective on sustainability. The goal is about designing creative structures that are resource conscious, rather than simply taking utilitarian approach energy saving.
