"The green building of the future," writes Lisa Salin Davis, "doesn’t just do less harm to the environment; it improves it. It won’t just use less water; it will collect and treat it.

However, he posed an interesting question: Ironically, fountains have become ubiquitous, albeit in lesser forms. Mass-produced, faux-Rococo fountains dot suburban yards and supermarkets.
