On Thursday, June 4, the National Building Museum will honor leaders in sustainability who have significantly improved the built environment through their vision and achievements in green building and design. This year’s Honor Award recipients are:
S. Richard Fedrizzi and the U.S. Green Building Council in recognition of 15 years of unparalleled leadership in the promotion of sustainable building practices.
Mayor Richard M. Daley and the City of Chicago in recognition of a historic commitment to planning a vibrant, healthy, and sustainable urban environment.
Majora Carter in recognition of her pioneering vision and advocacy to create sustainable urban environments, and her ability to unite stakeholders in partnerships across the public and private sectors.
Louis R. Chênevert and United Technologies in recognition of their commitment to improving the energy efficiency of buildings and development of sustainable communities.
Collectively, these visionary leaders have had an extraordinary impact on the greening of America’s built environment. This year’s Honor Award gala will be attended by corporate, government, and association leaders from around the country; we hope you will join us.

Know of some others I can add here? Let me know. Have you already visited some of these places...or planning on it? Let me know and I will feature your story and your photos here!
It is my dream to start a new kind of architecture school. Unlike most architecture schools, you wouldn't have to submit GRE scores or good grades or letters of recommendation. You wouldn't have to put the rest of your life on hold for 3 to 5 years. You wouldn't have to accrue tens of thousands of dollars in debt. At my architecture school, anyone could come for a few weeks and learn how to build a house with their own two hands. My teachers would take skills and concepts from some of these other workshops I've listed above... except classes would be held year-round to make it easy to fit into your schedule. I would have a number of different campuses around the country that would teach building designs approriate to the local climate. And I need your help. Can you donate land for a campus? Can you teach a workshop? Can you provide start-up capital? Let me know.
