Good afternoon folks.
Today I am highlighting a very innovative architectural project on the big island of Hawaii. It was among the Top Ten green projects for the American Institute of Architects in 2007, and has the kind of features architects just love to geek over.
Possibly the most interesting feature is the passive cooling system, which employs air drawn over cold seawater pumped from 3000 below sea level. The air flow is generated passively through stack ventilation. The project is definitely worth a look.
Remember everyone, buy local or grow it yourself!
Love to all,
Millard
