Wow! Our friend (and past ) Michael Green has gone and done something super awesome: He's started a new chapter in his career as an architect by launching Michael Green Architecture this week along with 14 staff members.
Of the new venture, Michael says that "It is a very exciting time that allows me to be true to my aspiration that design is much more than beauty and that the stories of each project are part of a global conversation to address the social, economic, cultural and environmental issues of our time. We will continue to balance projects in the developing world with those in the developed. A foot in two worlds."
One of the most exciting upcoming projects is the Worlds Tallest Wood Tower which is basically putting to use a system that Michael developed to build up to 30 storey towers in a carbon neutral structural system. It's the first of its kind in the world, and it was born here in Vancouver.
