green architecture

I ran a research project this summer focusing on the use of remote collaboration technologies (like phone and email) among young architects. I learned that one of them is building a water-neutral building in Seattle. This means it will reuse all of its gray- and black-water - there's no need to connect it to the public mains or sewer.

He mentioned it in passing as we were looking at photos of him giving a seminar on how to overcome all the different regulatory hurdles to accomplishing this. I'm amazed it's possible, but even more amazed it hasn't been splashed all over the design-world press.

I can't wait to get more specifics and copy it!
