When you think of sustainable building and green architecture, Houston probably isn’t the first city to come to mind. But a group of Houston-based artists have created HIVE, a self-sustaining village and living work of art constructed from nearly 500 recycled shipping containers to be built in Houston. Inspired by a former artists colony founded by HIVE’s creative director, Nestor Topchy, HIVE will occupy a 6.5 acre wooded plot of land just outside the city center.
