I too have wondered why everyone assumes that LEED buildings would be ugly. It is as if we equate green architecture to sugar-free deserts. I just posted in my own blog about the LEED certification program’s need for a public relations overhaul.

My school’s library is built up to LEED standards, and I think it’s quite a fine building (Furman does not do ugly buildings, or ugly anything for that matter). It’s certainly a nice place to study, although I personally prefer our science library rotunda, where there are large windows and I can get distracted by foraging squirrels.

I would encourage anyone who hasn’t, to drive by the “Platinum LEED” house in Fort Worth. It is not space-age looking, and not strikingly modern. I think it is exceptionally well done. A Leed house doesn’t have to look like any other.
