Inhabitat's Week in Green: rise of solar power, cardboard forts and a Death Star ping pong ball

Inhabitat's Week in Green: rise of solar power, cardboard forts and a Death Star ping pong ball

It was a big week for superlatives in clean tech and green architecture - particularly in Europe. First, construction on The Shard, architect Renzo Piano's shimmering, 72-story skyscraper, wrapped up in London, making it the tallest building in Europe. A nighttime celebration, complete with a laser light show accompanied by the London Philharmonic Orchestra was held. Just about a mile down the river, construction is moving forward on Blackfriars Station, the world's largest solar bridge. The historic bridge is being fitted with a solar array that will produce 900,000 kWh of clean electricity per year.
