Transmaterial is the website and blog of Blaine Brownell, a Houston based architect. In weekly entries he introduces innovative and green architectural products. Some cool examples are bendable concrete, 3D displays made by embedding LEDs in glass cubes, consumer reshapable and recyclable plastics, and Luccon - a rear projection screen made of concrete and used in Olympic '08 construction. The New York Times wrote an article about Blaine in early July, pimping his blog for its green focus. If you're interested in new materials that may be showing up in new construction (and in many cases already are), or if you're a chemisty / materials science nerd, this site is worth checking out.
