Team California is ahead in the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar Decathlon eco-house competition. The team, comprised of Santa Clara and California College of the Arts students, were praised for designing a building that's "beautiful in every respect" and that "broke out of the box and made exterior and interior space appear as one." Winner's announced Friday, with Team Germany and Team Ontario/BC trailing our homegrown eco-geniuses. [Inhabitat]
