We're honored to be a partner on MOVING House, University of Washington's project that won the 2026 Housing Education Prize (AIA + ACSA) prize! Led by UW's Rob Corser & Julie Kriegh, it pairs Passive House panels with design-for-disassembly to build movable housing for Tribes facing sea level rise.

Is an energy transition to renewables really happening, or is it all additive, where we are using as much coal and wood as we ever did? A look at a new book that questions the conventional wisdom. lloydalter.substack.com/p/in-a-world...

lloydalter.substack.com

In a world where we should be using less stuff, we are using "more and more and more."

A new book questions whether energy transitions are real.
