Sustainable Design (This post is actually worth looking at)

What is sustainable design? It is environmental friendly. I will be the first to admit that I really don't care about the environment. However, I will also admit that these new sustainable designed buildings are pretty freaking awesome. Let's take a look at apple idea first.
Located in Cupertino California, this building would be self-sufficient and would have an enormous greenery in the middle.

Next is NASA's environmental friendly building. The idea for this project is to create a building that will actually benefit the environment in which it is built in. Costing $20 million dollars this project will not need any artificial lighting.


Located in Manhattan, the W57 is expect to be completed in 2015. Designed for residential, each unit will have either a balcony or a bay window for natural lighting. Also, the courtyard will contain a large green area which is uncommon in this city.
