When I First Saw This, I Thought I Was Going Crazy. Then I Realized What It Really Is...

Mirrors were added to the walls and windows to create the illusion that you can see right through the cabin, making it seem half transparent at times. The 70-year-old abandoned shack acquired and re-appropriated by artist Phillip K. Smith III has even been given a name, Lucid Stead. In Phillip’s own words ”Lucid Stead is about tapping into the quiet and the pace of change of the desert. When you slow down and align yourself with the desert, the project begins to unfold before you. 28 cosas que obviamente necesitas para tu casa.

Permaculture. It can be safely said that modern, industrial farming is one of the most destructive practices on the planet today both for the health of the people and the planet.

Permaculture

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs), factory farming, the use of pesticides and excessive nitrogen-based fertilizers, agricultural subsidies – all of these practices are unsustainable. GMOs upset the natural practice of saving seeds by creating genetically-modified crops that do not reproduce so that farmers must buy new seed every year. This is incredibly risky behavior as we lose the natural variability in organic seed. What if Monsanto for whatever reason were to stop producing the seed? The factory farming of animal meat is one of the most inhumane practices ever developed by human beings. Pesticides are sprayed on crops by men wearing chemical suits yet they are somehow declared safe to eat. All of these practices are declared necessary in order to feed the world.

Permaculture: A Journey To Freedom. The Living Staircase by Paul Cocksedge Studio I Like Architecture.

The Living Staircase by Paul Cocksedge Studio I Like Architecture

At the project’s heart are the people who make up the Ampersand community and so the question was: how can a staircase become something more than a means of moving from floor to floor? By examining the structure of a staircase, it was discovered that by expanding the diameter and by removing the traditional central, load-bearing pillar, a new hidden space was revealed at its centre. As you emerge onto each floor, you can now enter the centre of the spiral and into social spaces devoted to a specific activity: a place to draw, to read a novel, to pick fresh mint for tea. ‘The Living Staircase is actually a combination of staircase and room, of movement and stillness, vertical and horizontal’, Paul Cocksedge explains.
