It looks a helluva lot better than your average power plant. The walls and roof of the prototype Solar Glass Pavilion are built of glass-laminated photovoltaic modules that provide structure and power the building's ventilation and lighting systems. The pavilion is part of the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum's "Under the Sun: An Outdoor Exhibition of Light" (www.si.edu/ndm/exhib/sun/). The celebration of all things photovoltaic, in New York City through October 25, includes lanterns and laptops, cookers and cars, and even a mower that grazes the lawn from sunrise to sunset.
