This lovely message is on the temporary construction fencing surrounding the new Pixel Building in Melbourne. The Pixel Building was designed by Studio 505 and aims to be Australia's first carbon-neutral office building. The building is due to be completed by March 2010 and the green technologies used include "an ozone-free absorption heat pump chiller, a grass roof covering to filter rainwater and insulate the building, a reed-bed system to filter grey water and shade the windows, individually controlled workstations to circulate fresh air through a raised roof, and concrete ceiling slabs to provide radiant cooling with minimal energy use" - Architectural Review.The full article is available here.
I will refrain from sharing my personal views on the project and its appearance.
Thanks to Fiona for the photo.
