So What Would Nature Do? - Thu, 01 Mar 2007 01:57:12 -0600 Non-human living systems provide the only technology other than our own to which we have access. While close copying of nature has a poor history and only limited prospects, much can be learned from this alternative reality. In particular, looking at natural design can free us from the strait-jacket of our own tradition. Here we will consider several situations in which evolution's designs might provide useful guidance for our own technology, situations ranging from fairly specific devices to quite general approaches. (1) Life's need for gas and heat exchange has led to the elaboration of some remarkable ventilatory devices and conservative exchangers - for instance the flow induction scheme of sponges and limpets and the nasal heat conservation system used by small mammals and birds. As an example of biologically-inspired but not slavishly copied design, a heat-trapping ventilation system for a sealed home will be described. (2) Life builds more often to a criterion of strength than stiffness, and its consequent mechanical flexibility is multidimensional in ways we rarely consider, much less capitalize upon. Thus the relative resistance of flower stems and wing feathers to bending and twisting might provide hints for making cheaper and less obtrusive towers. (3) That tolerance of the strong but non-stiff by nature has led to all manner of inflatables, membranes, and ropes - perhaps because stiffness costs material and tension can be resisted more cheaply than compression. We might take her designs as the jumping off point and envision something even more extreme - an entire technology devoid of compression-resisting solids. Ouvir Podcast

PROJECT FROG MODULAR CLASSROOMS by Jennifer Siegel Prefab construction, while a beneficial process with tons of green advantages, has up until now been dominated by single-family residential buildings. We’ve seen great non-residential conceptual projects by Jennifer Siegal and others, but have yet to be wowed by an actual brick-and-mortar prefab school, store, or office. But now, San Francisco-based Project Frog may be changing all that. With their full line of prefabricated, modular, and customizable classrooms, schools may finally have a high-quality green option for classroom construction. Ler artigo...

BEIJING BUBBLE BUILDING: China’s National Swim Center With all the new construction going up in China, it’s easy to lose track of “one more cool-looking” building. But PTW’s National Swimming Center for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing exemplifies what all this new construction should aim to be: beautiful, functional, forward-thinking, and most importantly, a good example for future development in a nation whose growth appears to know no bounds. The design, which won a competition in 2003 and will sit adjacent to Herzog and DeMeuron’s main stadium, boasts a striking blue “bubble” aesthetic, which is both eye-catching and indicative of the function it houses (we love this interior-exterior architectural connection). Known as the “Watercube,” PTW’s design is a basic box, juxtaposed with an organic “bubble” structure that makes up the building cladding. The bubbles are both organic (in form) and highly-scientific, constructed based on actual arrangement of organic cells and the natural formation of soap bubbles Ler artigo...

ORLANDO BLOOM BUILDING ECO HOUSE - Sun, 25 Feb 2007 17:25:27 +0000 Joining the ranks of Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom has jumped on the green architecture celebrity bandwagon with the announcement that he is building an environmentally-friendly house in London. The environmentally-conscious ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star revealed his plans at a pre-Oscar party with the aid of environmental organization Global Green USA. Bloom said: “It’s as green as I can make it. It’s got solar panels on the roof, energy efficient light bulbs - newer technology basically that is environmentally friendly. It might not be possible for everyone to live a completely green lifestyle, but we can do little things to help slow global warming.” Ler artigo...
