2010 Product Reports

Weather-responsive sunshades, a living facade system, and a solar-powered ceiling fan are just a few of the cutting-edge product introductions that caught the attention of this year’s Product Reports jury. Every year, Architectural Record invites a group of product experts — including several who have created their own product designs — to help us select the year’s best new products. Whether it’s a beautifully engineered alternative to other systems on the market or a dual-purpose solution that helps reduce clutter, these products work extra hard to earn a place in your upcoming projects.
