      abstract = {Examines the economies of being environmentally conscious  in green building design. The first program, The green  apple, uses New York City, particularly One Bryant Park and  the Solaire, to demonstrates how the ubiquitous skyscraper  can be a model of environmental responsibility. The second  episode, Green for all, features architect and activist  Sergio Palleroni as he works to provide design solutions to  regions suffering from social and humanitarian crises.  Shows projects in East Austin, Tex. and with the Yaqui  Indians in Mexico where architecture students are helping  residents build low-cost, environmentally-friendly homes  using local materials. The third program, The green  machine, follows Mayor Richard M. Daley as he strives to  make Chicago "the greenest city in America" with numerous  LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental  Design)-certified buildings, a solar-powered public  transportation system, and many green roofs, including one  on Chicago's City Hall. The fourth episode, Gray to green,  takes the notion of the three R's (reduce, reuse, recycle)  to grand proportions by turning Boston's "Big Dig" steel  and concrete waste into spectacular residential design. The  fifth program, China : from red to green? depicts a rapidly  urbanizing country at its tipping point and finds a  sustainable solution in Steven Holl's Beijing project,  which will have the largest geothermal heating/cooling and  greywater recycling system in the world upon completion.  The sixth program, Deeper shades of green, presents three  visionaries who are changing the face of architecture and  environmentalism and features some of their projects.  Focuses on Ken Yeang and his "bio-climatic" National  Library of Singapore, Werner Sobek and R128, his  energy-efficient, steel and glass box house, and William  McDonough and his model sustainable village of Huangbaiyu,  China.},
