HOUSE OF CARD A new after-school club opened in late 2001 on the east coast of England, in Westcliff on Sea, near Southend, Essex — built almost entirely of cardboard.

Cardboard made from recycled paper is proving to be an inexpensive and environmentally sustainable building material.

Overcoming the special challenges of designing "green" in a performing arts center, BOORA Architects and Arup engineers have made the building a model of sustainability.
