Green building doesn't necessarily equal ugly. There's often a causallink between building's look and its sustainable credentials, if for no other reason than green architecture demands a certain set of materials, economy, and form. Now, this form-function relationship need not mean ugly, aesthetically uncomfortable.
According to Ken Yeang, good architecture is green architecture, but green architecture is not necessarily good.
The building should not look like a modernist, and should not be pristine; it should be a bit fuzzy and something new. The ideal green building is one which is ecomimetic and whichintegrates seamlessly and benignly with the natural environtment at 3 levels: physically, systemically, and temporally.
