it is not particularly green, and it isn't prefab, and it is a second home which has to be driven to and therefore is probably treehugger incorrect, and it is covered in steel shutters for security and could work well as a set in Blade Runner, but damn if it isn't such a beautiful little building. Lets just leave it at. ::New York Times be sure to look at the slideshow.
You've got an odd sense of beauty. Since when is post-industrial modernism considered beautiful, or even pretty? Give me a sod-roofed, vine-overgrown earth-banked home hiding at the edge of an old-growth forest. Now THAT's beautiful.
Now this just looks like a cast-off piece of industrial equipment that should be melted down and properly disposed of.

Hello,
I noticed your link for NY Times is not working anymore.
You might want to use http://nytimes.blogspace.com/genlink.html - it builds weblog safe links, even if the article is old.
For the Fortified article you mention here, the safe link is http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/22/magazine/22design.html?ex=1295586000&en=3d959371978d0ecd&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss
