Green glamour

Gerhard Matzig describes the phenomenon of "Green Glamour" which he says conceals an ecology boom in architecture, design and fashion. "People who look like they publish the Hedonism Quarterly magazine are turning up with increasing frequency at architecture congresses, design shows and car exhibitions – but what these people are really interested in is energy-efficient houses, energy-saving household appliances, hybrid-engine cars and the Kyoto Protocol." Matzig cites the example of the "Haus R 128" created by German architect Werner Sobek. "R 128 consists of a steel skeleton that can be screwed together in just four days. The triple-glazed windows of the façade have a metallic coating that reduces the penetration of sunrays. They're also filled with a noble gas that increases their insulation capacity. It's an ultra energy-saving house that still manages to look like it's in the mood for an extravagant party."
