It seems going green isn't much in style these days with buildings built that incorporate little or no ecologically minded designs. More square feet. more land destroyed for homes, where will it end and better ways to design a good ecological home be built?

Most homes aren't designed by an architect and are just cookie cutter designs. If you have enough money to get an architect involved from the beginning in the design and building process you would see houses built much differently. That's not the case however.
In many tiny homes you have the options of different hookups to water and sewer, to go completely off-grid with a composting toilet and carry your water in or anywhere in between those two extremes.
Well the Ancient Greeks believed that the quality of architecture had the power to influence a man's behaviour. Good architecture they thought could literally prevent people from doing bad things. They gave us the first classical architecture for this very reason, a style that has been copied, reshaped and revived many times since, but has yet to be bettered. But just thinking about today's offerings, do the kind of current styles being employed such as post or late modernism or for that matter structural expessionism really embody the kind of qualities we still associate with classical archecture, can they lift a man's soul so as to make him want to be a better person in same way that the Greeks believed of their archicture? There have been later periods of quality architecture, since the Greeks, take for example the baroque or even art nouveau periods, what they both shared in common was a desire for beauty. That the aesthetic of a building really mattered, and it's this philosophy that indeed gave us such magnificent buildings. Where by contrast for most of the 20th century and now into the 21st the kind of buildings normally being built are of a far more utilitarian form, the emphasis has been far too much on practicality over the aesthetic and our architecture has lost it's beauty along the way. Surely we now need to adopt styles that marry both practicality and the aesthetic in equal measures if we want what we are building today to leave a lasting legacy for future generations.
