There is a really interesting article on Inhabit about Frasers Broadway. It is a highly sustainable development planned to be built in the middle of Sydney. Hopefully other major cities will follow suite, especially in the south-western US where urban sprawl has obliterated the natural environment.

Found this on treehugger, a very interesting take on a house. It is basically a series of layers going from concrete to wood to translucent panels to an exterior tent.

As is often the case in my life, I am confused. I like so many wonderful and varied things that it is sometimes difficult for me to formulate an opinion. One area where I think I need to work on this problem is that of architecture. I really do enjoy most styles of architecture, but certain styles do excite me more than others. This really isn’t my fault, after all there are far too many styles to choose just one that I like best.

In order to explore this further I have decided to search the interweb for pictures of houses that I really like and post them here, on everyday.

The Gamble House [official site] is a very nice, if not a little extravagant, example of the “American Arts and Crafts” or “Craftsman” style. It was designed in 1908 by the architectural firm Greene & Greene.
