These include design innovation, community context and land use, longevity, bioclimatic design, water and energy conservation, materials, and indoor environment.

The ten winners — plus one honorable mention — approach sustainable design through an exemplary integration of architecture, technology, and natural systems

The Artwork of Rex Ray




Recently I came across the artwork of Rex Ray - a graphic designer and artist based in San Fransisco, CA who creates the most lovely pieces using collage on wood with resin. I have to admit that I was never a big fan of collage, but his pieces are so modern and fun and remind me very much of the work by artist Jenn Ski, whom I also adore.
