SUNPOWER: New super-efficient solar panels! - Tue, 24 Oct 2006 06:35:20 +0000 Silicon Valley is hot again, and it’s a good thing for SunPower Corporation, a company which just released the most efficient solar panels to date. Based on the new Gen 2 Solar Cells, the SPR-315 solar panel will get a whopping 22% photovoltaic (PV) efficiency - over 10% more than the standard 7-12%. What does that extra 10% get you? Well according to SunPower, it means 50 percent more power per square foot of roof area. That means you can get just as much power using half as many panels or twice as much power with the same amount of panels. Unfortunately SunPower hasn’t released a price on the panels, but we’ll find out when they hit the market next spring. Ler artigo...

KATRINA COTTAGE wins People’s Choice Award - Mon, 23 Oct 2006 04:55:54 +0000 The Katrina Cottage is in the news again: it was recently announced as the winner of the People’s Choice at the annual Cooper-Hewitt National Design Awards. The awards ceremony took place this past Wednesday at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum’s mansion in upper Manhattan. For anyone who missed the Katrina Cottage the first time around, this cute little 300 square-foot house was designed by Marianne Cusato for displaced victims of Hurricane Katrina. Its about the same size and costs the same amount as the standard FEMA trailer (about $35,000), yet its livability, charm and ability to provide displaced people with a sense of “home” rather than just temporary shelter make it far more appealing than the soulless trailers currently provided by the government.

The Architecture of Happiness - Mon, 23 Oct 2006 05:50:00 GMT Many architects are wary of openly discussing the word beauty â in Alain de Bottonâs book, The Architecture of Happiness, he asks the large and naÃve question: What is a beautiful building?Is it too much to ask of our buildings to aspire to that which we long for in our hearts? Many architects would answer, "Yes." Rather than see architecture as an aspiration of the best of what life can be, many see architecture as reflective of the worst of what life is. If architects do not think that buildings affect society and can contribute to the happiness and well-being of those who use the buildings, then architects devalue their profession and are saying that their work has no importance. Yet if architects admit that their work can affect society and make a difference in a users life, and yet architects insist on designing buildings that are confrontational and conflicted, then architects are knowingly contributing to the decay and dysfunction of society.In a world where we are constantly told how bad things are, architecture can give us hope about how things could be better. Thatâs an ancient idea whose time has come again. The Architecture of Happiness by Alain de Botton is published by Pantheon. www.randomhouse.com/pantheon/ And visit www.tedwells.com. Ouvir Podcast

COVET SUSTAINABLE FASHION - Sun, 22 Oct 2006 14:39:07 +0000 Covet is a young line for men and women that we are really excited about. Currently, about 50% of the collection is made with eco-textiles, such as organic cotton, bamboo and soybean, with other fabrics including handwoven cottons from India. Apparently the entire Spring 2007 collection will be environmentally friendly. Tara St. James designs the collection and her degree in menswear is evident in the impeccable cuts and tailoring. Aside from using environmentally friendly materials, the line is also made in socially responsible factories, two of which are ISO certified. I was recently in eco-boutique Gomi, here in NYC, when a Covet shipment arrived - and I have to say that “Covet” is definitely the most appropriate name for this line. The super soft bamboo pieces have apparently been flying off of the shelves. Information about nationwide availability and phone orders can be found on the website. +CovetThis Ler artigo...

VARIANT SHELVES by Daan Roosegaarde - Sat, 21 Oct 2006 15:18:44 +0000 We just can’t get enough of innovative Dutch design here at Inhabitat and here’s one more great furniture design to add to our catalog. Libraries all over The Netherlands have suddenly found it essential to stock up on Daan Roosegaarde’s Variant shelves. Deftly hand-constructed out of recycled cardboard, the curious constructions were initially conceived at AKI art academy in Enschede where Roosegaarde studied sculpture. The Rotterdam-based designer soon found himself starting up a production line overnight after library bigwigs got whiff of his class project. Ler artigo...

SUSTAINABLE STYLE SATURDAYS - Sat, 21 Oct 2006 06:17:24 +0000 We’re obsessed with green design at Inhabitat - and yet we’ve had a hard time trying to figure out how best to talk about sustainable fashion here. We are all searching for the perfect pair of eco-jeans, and yet since our collective expertise lies more with architecture and interior design than fashion, sustainable clothing has always been a little outside of our radar…..until now. We have long admired the sustainable fashion blog Fiftyrx3, written by our friend, sustainable-style expert Jill Danyelle. Luckily for us, Jill has just decided to launch a weekly column for Inhabitat on eco-friendly apparel. We can’t wait! Sustainable Style Saturday officially kicks off next week with a look at Covet.
