Treehugger | Best of Green Award Recipients

The economy made it a tough year for everyone in design and architecture, and, hence, this year’s Best of Green Awards for Design and Architecture celebrate those who are doing the tough jobs: revitalizing downtowns, building social housing, developing new business models, and being the game-changers, looking a new and different ways of doing things. These are not always the flashiest people, products, or ideas, but in these times they are perhaps the most appropriate and interesting models for the future.
