This month, the National Building Museum is unveiling The Green House, a groundbreaking exhibition demonstrating that residential design can be beautiful, affordable and sustainable—truly the first ever show of its kind.
Our museum is entrusted with a unique assignment. We tell the story of America’s progress through building. There is an obvious imperative to tell the story of The Green House because of the ecological impact of building. But we also think it’s important to tell this story because our country has evolved— America wants to build sustainably. Consumers want well-designed products for their homes to be ecologically responsible—and the industry is responding. This exhibition is the tip of a very large iceberg that includes all design, from architecture and building materials, to furniture and appliances— even dinnerware can be “green.”
The theme of sustainability isn’t new to the Museum. Three years ago we opened an exhibition called Big and Green that explored trends in the green building of mega-structures. In a couple of years we will continue our commitment with an exhibition about green communities. In addition to our exhibitions, the Museum has developed activities and programs in parallel with the theme. The museum will host lectures, programs for teens, and activities for children as young as 3 years old—all about sustainable building and design. It will be an extraordinary year for The Green House.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
