The project alone is nice and intriguing, but it's best to save the word 'sustainable' for others. Sustainable means life-cycle. You don't usually invest a super-huge, unreasonable sum just to build a green' facial' building. It consists also of the consideration of the construction waste, down to the ability and skill of local labors to the political correctness behind a project. Check the Holcim website and you'll know what sustainability means. Excuse me if I'm wrong, since it's just photos and nothing more. Perhaps it will become very sustainable after some times when it stands and consume very little energy and considerably low maintenance. @Skeptic…as sarcastic as your comment is, I do agree with you on one thing.

That's pretty infuriating. Forgetting for a moment that batteries for storing PV power is incrediably wasteful (get that thing feeding the grid, damn it)... how is it sustainable to produce sooo much more vanity, spectacle lighting than they need? How much energy went into manufacturing that wall and how much on up keep. The BS blatant abuse of the term "sustainable" makes me puke in my mouth a little. “offering the most radical example of sustainable technology applied to an entire building’s envelope to date.”
