In case you missed it, this past Sunday's New York Times Magazine (ranking high on our list of best magazines) dedicated its cover and a bunch of articles to green architecture.

There's a great piece on the differences between European and American approaches to environmentally sensitive building, the obligatory look at the "Eco-House for the Future," and a profile of a Brazilian city that has focused on environmentalism since the 60's but still faces challenges as it grows in the 21st century.
