The American Institue of Architects’ (AIA) Committee on the Environment holds a contest for the year’s Top Ten Green Projects. You can see details of the last several years winners at their website. This picture above is of the Carnegie Institution of Washington Global Ecology Center
(Global Ecology Research Center), a winner for the 2007 competition. Some of its environmental aspects included reductions in carbon emissions during the building process and the with the materials used, as well as a focus in water use efficiency, and innovative ventilation and lighting systems throughout the building. If you or a freind have a green project you’d like to enter, there’s still time! The deadline is February 14th.

What is amazing is how natural and beautiful the winner looks. It has a modern feel to it but certainly retains that human touch. I checked out some of the other winners and saw that they are located in many different states, from Hawaii to Oregon to Arkansas to Massachusetts!
