The NY Times covers the hurricane proof building boom going on in the gulf region- TX, LA and FL. Some of the resources listed in the article are going to point us in the right direction as far as the hurricane-proof factors but what about the sustainable, green issues? We also want to enjoy some aesthetic value in what is built. The fundamental systems, water, solar etc., are a good starting point as they are designed green to begin with but the selection of materials and design are still far out of reach.
