If monks can build a temple out of beer bottles, what can you do? (thedailygreen.com)

Many, many more images below. I think the OP goes way over the top in terms of describing its environment credentials ("single-handedly redefined recyclability") and aesthetics ("fuses practicality and spirituality to create a whole new forum for aesthetic design"), but it certainly seems to be an impressive project.

Thanks for the images. I am currently travelling through Greece and Cyprus and what caught my eye in museums is that the glass would probably survive for ever. The Temple is not only a good example of recyclability but also of engineering. But you are right the OP went over the top with the 'green language'. I guess someone got too excited :)
