Dear Designers, Builders, and Dwellers,
Green Wednesday, by the editors of ArchitectureWeek, brings you weekly news on green design and building from around the world.
With mega-yachts and mega-Dubai, this week we're leading off the green news with a bit of (harsh? shocking, I hope!) contrast.
Farther down the list, the 'Featherless Chickens and Reptilian Brain' piece should be a feel-good read for the green designer - but you do have to read it through almost to the bottom!
