A competition to build green
Right about now, y'all might be thinking about how to keep your mortgage paid or your rent from increasing. So I understand that today may not echo for you the golden days of the dot com boom. Nonetheless, I suggest you build something, build it green and submit it to the American Institute of Architects and Dwell competition on green building. Dwell is a design and architecture magazine with an eye for sustainability. I bet you can figure out who AIA is.
If truly no one is building right now, you could win handily. All you need to do is take a few photos of your green/sustainable project, then write a short essay about the most important green features. Submit it all by mid-June.
Three winners will get their entries posted on Dwell's Web site and receive gift certificates from AIA for future green building projects.
