He takes green architecture a step further and not only concentrates on the obvious, as energy use, but explicitly considers the consequences of the material choices on the inhabitants and on the planet. Very often toxic chemicals in building materials and furnishings render architecture obsolete. What is the use of a building if it makes you sick? Green architecture should be the norm. I am looking forward seeing his prototype for the new hotel chain. Chad Oppenheim is an extraordinary architect.
