As a testament to the notion that sustainable design goes hand-in-hand with trendsetting architecture, the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., is showcasing Big and Green: Toward Sustainable Architecture in the 21st Century. This exhibition displays examples of green technology and sustainable architecture, with a special focus on big buildings and recognition of the movement’s pioneers. Visitors experience Big and Green through photographs, models, drawings, and structural models, as well as electronic interactive components. A definitive 200-page catalog and a strong schedule of education and public programs complement the exhibition.
