At the end of December Inhabitat did an article on the 'Top Ten Green Architecture Projects of 2008', some of which i have never seen before, so i feel its my duty to cut, paste and plagiarize their article (lol). Actually i'll just show you the pictures and reference a link for you to click on for more details. :)
Above, 'the Greenpix Zero Energy Media Wall by New York based architecture & media firm Simone Giostra & Partners. Visible from up to a kilometer away on one of Beijing’s most congested main roads, the 20,000 square foot bright light facade of the Xicui entertainment complex is more than stunning, it’s surprisingly strong in its green credentials. The Greenpix Zero Energy Media Wall is the world’s largest color LED display, and has a self sustaining energy life-cycle. Harvesting sunlight collected during the day via photovoltaic solar cells, the wall uses stored solar energy to light up the LED’s for a spectacular nighttime show.'
