Each Wednesday we'll bring together the latest green building information from around the Web, with a dose of ArchWeek attitude and intelligence, plus of course the best of our own ongoing sustainability coverage. Green and Sustainable Design and Building News This Week -------------------------------------------------------- The stories we've collected this week document the shrinking cost differential for green building and sustainable energy investments, as well as the usual - and still fascinating - parade of new LEED and green projects. Don't miss at least the first half of James Howard Kunstler's pungent philosophical "reflection on cities of the future" - even if he does seem to overlook the other, humanist tradition in modernism, in the glory of sharply drawing his picture. And the Gotham coverage detailing green concerns during the construction process is important.
