We’ve seen a few pretty crazy urban interventions lately, like the Underground we showed a while back. This project from Kelsey at Columbia uses the same setting, the Delancey trolley stop, to catalyze a new urban intervention, injecting green space into the urban fabric of NYC.

This project from Eric and Suzanne at Clemson was chosen as this years winner of the Design to Zero competition. Tasked with designing energy efficient, affordable and high performing homes, the pair decided to incorporate many different strategies, as well as combining retail and commercial space with the home, ensuring efficient use of energy 24 hours a day.

We are heading back to the 2011 Solar Decathlon to showcase CHIP a collaborated design by Sci – Arc and Caltech. The project itself is amazingly designed and focused much more on creating a Net-Zero home of the future. The project placed very well in the competition and we highly suggest you check out their site after the jump!
