The Green Design 100
Call it responsibility or accountability. Or simple popular demand. The rarefied world of design is embracing the environment as never before. Top architects are implementing revolutionary methods. Fashion and furniture mainstays are manufacturing products using sustainable materials. And luxury empires are establishing credos on issues their customers are still waking up to. Behind the scenes, trailblazing executives are taking big risks to make it all happen — beautifully.
Taliesin Mod.Fab
Scottsdale, Ariz.; Students of The Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture
It's been a tradition for more than 70 years that students at the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture design, construct and live in their own shelters — a kind of do-it-yourself dormitory program. Mod.Fab, an eco-conscious prototype derived from that practice, was created by students and has the potential to be replicated commercially. With cantilever planes and covered outdoor spaces, the compact home exhibits many typical Frank Lloyd Wright forms and, thanks to environmental-control systems like rainwater harvesting and photovoltaics, it can be run on or off the grid.
