Microliving: Design and Sustainability: 2012-07-22

http://microlivingjohanna.blogspot.com/2012_07_22_archive.html

July 25, 2012. What is. Cradle to Cradle? Cradle to Cradle (C2C) is a strategy based on circular systems. Its founders Prof. Michael Braungart and William McDonough believe that all natural resources must be returned into the biological cycle. Unlike other concepts (e.g. carbon footprint), restriction is not part of C2C. Braungart often uses the image of a cherry tree to demonstrate nature´s abundance.

http://microlivingjohanna.blogspot.com/2011/03/colour-without-pigments-interference.html

March 02, 2011. Colour without pigments: Interference. Describes the appearance of colours without the existence of pigments. Instead, colour is created by multiple layers of light. A great variety of species in nature, metals and chemicals show this phenomenon. And the colibri, too. Different butterflies reflect different colours.

Microliving: Design and Sustainability: The Japanese Metabolists

http://microlivingjohanna.blogspot.com/2011/02/japanese-metabolists.html

February 20, 2011. Kisho Kurokawa Helix City (Floating City), via www.fgautron.com. In 1959, a group of architects came together to form the new movement called "Metabolists". Their subjects were the city in its urban context, the city in the upcoming mass societies, and creating architectural structures for people in these environments. The habitat should then be flexible and extendable to huge scales. In light of this, totally new and modular architectural structures were created. Ernst Haeckel was a 1...

Microliving: Design and Sustainability: D´Arcy Thompson

http://microlivingjohanna.blogspot.com/2011/02/darcy-thompson.html

February 28, 2011. D´Arcy Thompson (1860-1948) was a great british mathematician and biologist, some call him the first "biomathematician". In his work "On Growth and Form", he analyzed biological appearances and processes with respect to physical and mathematical aspects. He paid particular attention to structures in tissues and cells, as well as to theories about transformation in related forms. D´Arcy Thompson (via source. His famous book "On Growth and Form" (via source. Blood Vessels ( source. Mme P...
