EarthTechling reports Seattle's Bullitt Center can now officially say it's the greenest building in the world. At least according to World Architecture News.
For EarthTechling, Pete Danko writes:
“WAN this month named the Bullitt Center its "Sustainable Building of the Year," with an international panel selecting it over five other buildings short-listed for the prize. "There was obviously a deep commitment and collaboration from client, public agencies, and full multidisciplinary design team to making important new discoveries for sustainable design," judge Mark Reddington of LMN architects said in a statement.”
Our team had a chance to check out the building last spring on the eve of its opening.
