This particular project within the show Emerging Ecologies: Architecture and the Rise of Environmentalism, is a model of the “Green Machine” by Glenn Small, created in 1980.

Although this show covers a variety of approaches to American environmentalism through diverse artists, including Buckminster Fuller, Emilio Ambasz, and Charles and Ray Eames, this piece stood out for me as particularly fun.

Small was a pioneer of architectural ecology, emphasizing recycled materials and buildings with a light footprint on the environment.
