"The Future of Green Architecture:" The house looks like something out of some crazy science fiction monopoly however the idea is crazy cool, and intelligent. It’s basically a 30 by 30 by 30 foot cube shaped home. There is an umbrella shape centerpiece on the top of the house that collects 90 percent of the needed energy for that day. One thing I have a concern about is a lot of the house is made of plastic which is currently made of petroleum and until that is redesigned the concept isn’t as environmentally friendly as they say. Another cool thing about this house is under the dome on top there is plants growing and the walls are insulated by a sort of board that is supposed to help stabilize the temperature well. This zero-emissions concept is insanely cool but I think still has some room for development and improvement. For example looking a something more eco friendly like mushroom based insulation possibly? Very cool though.
