Green Building or Green washing - hard to tell!

Architecture firm MVRDV has designed a unique housing complex for Liuzhou, China. The location of the project is a valley where the eroding mountain face will be enveloped by a series of staggered boxed structures that will leave pockets of vegetation. A wetland or constructed pond will support be created in the valley, to support both vegetation and housing at its edge. MVRDV advocates some overlap between cities and the countryside.
