A Greener Blueprint
Master "green architect", Craig Rhodes, challenged finalists to design one element of a "green" building plan—manipulation of sunlight. Finalists studied green building plans and then crafted a model building capable of gathering the optimum amount of solar energy in a specific location during a typical day.
Photo Team Black listens to the basics of green architecture from Craig Rhodes, one of only 12 recognized master green architects in the United States.
