Building Review (Photo: Darius Siwek) Hanwha Solar CHIP by SCI-Arc/CalTech, Washington, D.C. - While the SCI-Arc/CalTech team finished sixth (out of 19 teams) in the 2011 U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon, they created a house whose form and skin belie our assumptions about green building today. By wrapping the angular house in insulation pillows, it puts on display what is normally concealed within the walls. This is one aspect of reconsidering the various factors that contribute to sustainable architecture. The team answered some questions about the building that was recently installed in Washington, D.C. for the competition.   more New Profiles   Architects Machado and Silvetti Associates, Boston Architects KREINERarchitektur, Gröbming   Architects Olaf Gipser Architects, Amsterdam Architects BE-FUN DESIGN / Tsuyoshi Shindo, Tokyo   Interior Designers brandherm + krumrey interior architecture, Köln Interior Designers ZMIK, Basel   Agenda 12 October to 28 January, HENNGALERIE, München Square Succession & Ephemeral Eflorescence, Exhibition more   14 to 16 October, MAK, Wien Blickfang Wien, Fair more   13 October, Paul-Desmarais Theatre, Montreal Michael Webb: Two Journeys, Lecture more   15 October, Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, New York Design with the Other 90%: Cities, Exhibition Opening more   15 to 16 October, Various locations, Chicago openhousechicago more   16 October, S AM, Basel The Object of Zionism.
