INSTA Green: Architects working with the planet

With the threat of global warming growing it’s great to see more and more people adopting a more sustainable approach to how they live and interact with the world – from organic food to knowing where and how their clothing is being made.

One of my favourite passions is design, so I’m fascinated to see what wonders are being developed – from the construction of sustainable housing to gardens that fend for themselves.

Here’s some grammers that should inspire you to rethink visual aesthetic if you’re planning to build or renovate.
