Tom Mayne is right on. Good architecture and 'sustainable architecture' do not necessarily go hand in hand.
LEED is becoming a variable checklist ('how do we get the points with the least effort') that should be substituted for a method of evaluating and monitoring a building's initial and lifetime dependence on the earth - a metric for consumption of resources, energy, CO2.
USGBC should develop an alternative or parallel system based upon levels of performance and dependency. Then let the architect and design team solve the problem creatively.

Thom Mayne has hit it right on the nose. I believe the LEED system is a good start to sustainable design, but by no means the best way to do things. I also agree that the point system needs to be restructured.
