This LEED Silver project, not to be built, brings an awareness of sustainable issues to the public by way of modeling space and structure, rather than selecting and purchasing approved ‘green’ products. A large-span, pre-engineered structure folds to create: (1) differentiated space within an open plan for separate user groups, (2) North skylights, (3) courtyard, (4) theater/roof space comes to the ground, and (5) low south facing entry threshold.

The City of Houston instead built this.
