i've always been a big fan of the solar decathlon and am glad to see that europe has gotten in on the game too. the decathlon was started by the u.s. department of energy in 2002 and challenges university-level architecture programs to create livable, solar-powered homes. this year
the decathlon went to madrid and featured 17 universities, including 2 from china. here's a
link to inhabitat's article about virginia tech's lumenhaus, the winner this year and the competition in general. congrats to tech! there's also a great bamboo house so check out the slideshow. here are some images:
