From today’s New York Times: innovative new building products could be a boon for the environment. These new materials — which can reduce waste, create energy – are highlighted in architect Blaine Brownell’s book and website.
“Today, Mr. Brownell’s Web site, transmaterial.net, has become a clearinghouse of sorts for information on the latest innovations. He has cataloged more than 1,000 products on the site as well as in a companion book, “Transmaterial,” the second volume of which was published this year by Princeton Architectural Press. More than 3,000 people have signed up for his “product of the week” e-mail message, which spotlights materials like smog-eating concrete.”
