TED Article from CNN

I found this article about Green design on CNN's site the other day. It's actually pretty interesting, even though the video actually doesn't exactly delve into sustainable design, I think. The video mainly focuses on this performing arts center in Dallas, I believe. Because of the Recession, the client had to cut budgets, and I we all know what that means.... However, when the budgets get cut, the innovation shifts into overhaul! The architects, working closely with the client, designed a theater that can completely transform; balconies and seats can be raised and lowered from the ceiling and can be shifted around at orchestra level. The stage also works in the same way. The stage director, or whatever he's called, can move stage panels and whatnot, to design various kinds of sets; he can choose to create a traditional set, or even go so far as to use the city of Dallas itself as the play's backdrop.
