I loved your "container house"...I have been working with similar ideas and would love to see more details of the house. I am a designer and builder in North Carolina, but have lived and worked around the world, collecting ideas and concepts, meeting industry people and working from grassroots up. I recently started a blog, for now mostly a news satire [think Onion] but will be morphing (or linking) to a green design page. I would like any suggestion/links that you might be able to offer to other projects you find inspired and interesting.
Thanks,

Hi Mr. Dunn,
I like your stuff and am interested in learning more about "green" achitecture.
I'm a freelance reporter for GULF NEWS in Dubai, As you may be aware, there a massive architectural boom in progress there. As part of this, there are a variety of innovative and experimental "green" skyscrapers in the works.
There is a lot of capital there and a keen desire to be a showcase for future architetural showcase type builldings.
This is all very new to me, and I love the chance to speak with you about these and other related issues.
Thanks..........................akshay
