Michelle Kaufmann, one of the first architects working in the green prefab field to attract large amounts of media attention is now turning her efforts to promote green building to children.

An exhibit at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry is displaying her mkSolaire design reproduced in perfect detail using – Legos.

The legoSolaire as it’s being called was created to reach kids, and get them thinking about what it means to live in green houses, to create a culture where green is the norm.

Part of Kaufmann’s motivation could also be to encourage young budding architects of tomorrow to follow her lead in the trend for modern and green architecture. Read in Mother Nature Network.
