The Green House: Media AdvisoryGroundbreaking Exhibition The Green House: New Directions in Sustainable Architecture and DesignWhatThe National Building Museum invites you to the press conference and preview of the exhibition The Green House: New Directions in Sustainable Architecture and Design, located in first-floor galleries. A groundbreaking exhibition, The Green House: New Directions in Sustainable Architecture and Design reveals exciting trends in green technology, materials, and design, yielding homes that are as aesthetically compelling as they are environmentally friendly. Featuring an international survey of 20 contemporary residences by such architects as American William McDonough, Australian Peter Carmichael, and German Werner Sobek — plus a full-size, furnished version of architect Michelle Kaufmann’s Glidehouse™—The Green House answers key questions: What makes a home or product green? How is a green home healthier, safer, and more comfortable? What are the costs of going green? Visitors will emerge armed with useful knowledge about how to lead more sustainable lives. The exhibition will be on view May 20, 2006 through June 24, 2007. The Green House: New Directions in Sustainable Architecture and Design is presented by The Home Depot Foundation with generous support from the ASID Foundation of the American Society of Interior Designers, Bosch home appliances, Portland Cement Association, Benjamin Moore® Paints, EPA/Energy Star, The Nathan Cummings Foundation, U.S. department of Energy, Band Inc., Global Green, James G.
