Big Green: pioneers of green building--who are they?

[Ralph Bicknese]

I second Muscoe's suggestions. Thanks Muscoe!  You ain't no slouch either
buddy!

I would add Amory and Hunter Lovins (Rocky Mountain Institute) and Michael
and Judy Corbett who developed Village Homes in Davis California starting in
1974.

Don't forget important pioneers Bob Berkebile, Greg Franta, Don Prowler and
Susan Maxman. All are still practicing except Don, who passed away much too
early.  Susan, in particular, gets too little credit for her ground breaking
projects in the early 90's, and using her tenure as first female president
of AIA to promote green design.  (Full disclosure, I am an ex-business
partner of hers)
