This solar roof was originally developed as a solar generator for Audi, Mercedes, Seat and VW, and integrated in the design of the car's roofs in order to reduce fuel consumption and to provide energy even when the engine was switched off.

Architecture, design, sustainability, food, barcelona, catalunya, and almost everything else. Mies Van de Rohe. The recovery of concrete falls between standard definitions of reuse and recycling: concrete is broken down into aggregates (granular material), generally to be used in road works, but also as aggregates in new concrete. [1]. It is estimated that roughly 25 billion tonnes of concrete are manufactured globally each year, over 3.8 tonnes per person in the world each year. Recycling concrete reduc...

Architecture, design, sustainability, food, barcelona, catalunya, and almost everything else. Mies Van de Rohe. Microturbines by ned kahn. Another example of Ned Kahn's instalations with architectural implications. These mini turbines could be used to generate energy for a building whilst providing solar protection. The jury is still out regarding the possibility of retaining one's sanity whilst working 8 hours in a building clad with mini turbines. Posted by Shaun Pilgrem Vandersteen. Masia conversion s...

Architecture, design, sustainability, food, barcelona, catalunya, and almost everything else. Mies Van de Rohe. A Very Dirty Martini or Filthy Martini. Because of the olive/anchovy brine which adds more kick than the straight Dirty Martini with olive brine, not because of what it frequently leads to. I use Andalusian olives soaked in anchovy brine because they are available here, I like anchovies, and because I'm like that. 5 parts gin from the freezer. 1 part Noilly Prat. 4 drips Angustura bitters.

Architecture, design, sustainability, food, barcelona, catalunya, and almost everything else. Mies Van de Rohe. Two Polish architecture students (ryszard rychlicki and agnieszka nowak) have "reinvented" the idea of building as water butt. Whilst this may not be a new idea to those of us living around the Mediterranean, where ingenious methods to harvest rainwater have been used for centuries, it is an interesting proposal, above all given the urban context.

Architecture, design, sustainability, food, barcelona, catalunya, and almost everything else. Mies Van de Rohe. Do plants really need soil? No they don't. The soil is merely nothing more than a mechanic(al) support.Only water and the many minerals dissolved in it are essential to plants, together with light and carbon dioxide to conduct photosynthesis. Green Walls and/or Vertical Gardens can also be integrated into a building's air circulation system. Active Green walls are based upon the sciences of...

There is a Symbiotic relationship between humans and plants. Life is sustained by the O. We were evolved to live outside. We actually spend only 20 minutes in the open every day. We now spend most of our time in controlled but polluted environments. And Cosmetics (perfume, deodorants, hair spray etc). VOC concentrations are approx. 10 times hi...
