  National Building Museum: The Green House
The environmental movement, for its part, was suspicious of the world of “star” architects, interior designers, and their style-conscious patrons, and green builders tended to concentrate their energies either on tinkering with their own residences or putting up experimental structures that many architects and critics dismissed as unsophisticated and unattractive.
Perhaps the most important lesson that green architects, interior designers, and builders are learning from their urban experiments is that people in cities don’t have to live in denial of nature.
Green houses combine responses to extreme heat, wind, sunshine, salt, water damage, and climate change with technologies that allow them to be self-sufficient in their waste disposal and energy and water use.  Protection goes both ways in sustainable waterside houses —safeguarding the house from nature and nature from the house.
