Liina Shelter from Aalto University Is Held Together By Straps. © Aalto University Wood Shelter Project Every time there is a disaster, designers roll out another set of designs for emergency shipping container housing, and every time, it is pointed out by the likes of Cameron Sinclair that perhaps a steel box is not the best thing to be living in.

Liina Shelter from Aalto University Is Held Together By Straps

Not only that, it costs a lot to ship air, which is essentially what an empty container is full of. That's why I like the Liini Transitional Shelter from Aalto University's Wood Project 2010 so much. They have designed a very clever housing unit of 180 square meters that is designed around the needs of a family, and can fit two of them into a single 20 foot shipping container. © Aalto University Wood Shelter Project: Building sequence © Aalto University Wood Shelter Project: testing section in lab The house is built out of a series of slices, each of which is light enough to lift by two people, and held together by vertical straps.

Broadcast Yourself. 12 insanely hot electric and hybrid cars of 2012. Pop idol Justin Bieber was presented with one of these beauties for his 18th birthday on the Ellen DeGeneres show, following in the footsteps of Leonardo DiCaprio, who bought the first 2012 Fisker Karma. A solar panel roof, 250 mile range, 0-60 mph in 6.3 seconds and a sleek exterior to drool over are all wrapped cleverly into this nice work of car art and punctuated with a $90,000 USD starting price sticker. The Fisker Karma can go 50 miles on all electric charge and then carry on an additional 300 miles on fossil fuel while still achieving an admirable 100 miles per gallon.

Its trademaked EVer technology uses an electric generator and battery pack to power dual-electric motors without using gas to drive the wheels. The car has two modes: stealth mode, with a top speed of 95 mph and a 50 mile range, and sport mode, which cranks the top speed up to 125 mph and the range to 250 miles. Nice birthday gift.

Majestic Bamboo Dome Built Using Not a Single Nail

Not only does the domed structure the versatility and strength of bamboo, which is a rapid-growing renewable material, it was also built without the use of even one nail! We’ve seen other bamboo buildings before but what makes Nghia’s stand out is the dynamic domed shapes he is able to achieve with the material – especially without the use of modern machinery or metal structures. In fact, every bit of bamboo in the design was woven together using traditional Vietnamese weaving techniques. The cafe’s frame measures 30 feet high and features an opening at the very top of the dome that allows daylight to stream inside. The pros and cons of living with your significant other.

The operating system will determine who rules -- or at least who has a seat at a lavish feast. Whether manufacturing phones or tablets, selling mobile ads or developing apps, the operating software running the show will determine how well it succeeds. Although there are several mobile platforms in the market or in development, only three really matter: Apple's (AAPL) iOS, Google's (GOOG) Android and Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows Phone 8. Each company creating these platforms have taken to manufacturing devices -- Google and Microsoft recently, Apple years ago -- to strengthen their software, whether through patents or device design.

India’s Massive Blackout Calls for Smarter Grid, From the Bottom Up

Thus, when the power went out across eight northern Indian states early Monday morning, leaving some 370 million people in the dark, most of the critical facilities -- Delhi’s international airport, hospitals and police stations, large-scale commercial and industrial power users and higher-end homes and apartments -- were ready to go with backup generators. But everyday people were stuck with no light, no heat, and no public transportation. 25 Years After First Solar Restaurant, Germany Breaks 25% Renewable Energy Barrier.

Using Social Media to Test Your Idea Before You Try to Sell It

When starting a business, new entrepreneurs often spend time naming the business and developing a logo and printing business cards and perfecting the look and feel of their packaging before they know whether they have a viable product or service. There’s now a better way — social media has become the ultimate tool for market research. Stephanie Clifford wrote an article for The Times this week about how big corporations are replacing focus groups with social media, but it works for small businesses, too. Thanks to social media — especially Twitter — small businesses now have the ability to determine what their customers want and what they are willing to pay. I put out a quick social media call for small businesses on Facebook, Twitter and Google+ who have used social media for market research and within minutes found companies willing to share their experiences.

London Summer Street Style Photography. A High Resolution Experience. There’s a new generation of devices really changing how we look at the web, Apple calls it Retina, others call it HiDPI (high dots per inch), but it’s been trickling its way up mostly through mobile phones and then in tablets with the iPad 3.

A High Resolution Experience

Basically the idea is that the pixels are so close together you can’t even see them, even if you put your nose right up to the screen. (Wipe off your screen now.) My mind was personally blown when I first saw the new Retina Macbook Pro — basically Apple took the clarity of the retina screen and brought it to full 15″ laptop (which also has amazing other specs) and the result is remarkable. So much so that it ruins you, like the first time you saw a HDTV and then had to look back at a regular one again. Steak Shakeup. Best Place in the World to Start a Company.

Or, look at the unlikely places abroad where start-up clusters are forming. Stories like these might provide fodder for journalists, but according to recent research out of Yale, they do next to nothing to help aspiring founders decide where to locate their start-ups. Walmart And Monsanto Team Up To Sell Genetically Modified Sweet Corn. Chris B. Leyerle: A Renewable Future. Present-Day Germany ~ Europe's largest national economy hit a milestone in the first half of this year—for the first time, 25% of German electricity generation came from renewable sources. Wind energy was the largest contributor of green power, accounting for 9.2 percent of all energy output... Biomass, or material acquired from living organisms, accounted for 5.7 percent and solar technology for 5.3 percent. Germany is the largest market for electricity in Europe, and has long been a leader in boldly reshaping its energy policy, including forswearing all nuclear after Japan's Fukushima disaster.

Interestingly, the policy has been driven the past many years by the country's conservative parties. Green a Roof, Cool a City. Project Management.

Venger Wind Unveils World's Largest Rooftop Wind Farm in Oklahoma City. Venger Wind and US renewable distributor SWG Energy just installed the world’s largest rooftop wind farm atop the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF) in Oklahoma City.

The project saw Venger Wind construct 18 V2 vertical axis wind turbines on the medical center’s roof as part of OMRF’s sustainability strategy to create a zero emissions research tower. The omni-directional wind turbines have been integrated into the design of the building and precisely positioned to collect wind from both the North and South sides of the rooftop farm. The installation of the 18 wind turbines makes the entire project the largest building integrated wind energy system in the U.S. Unlike most vertical wind turbines, which are relatively modest in size, the V2 wind turbines are massive. They stand 18.5 feet tall and are rated at 4.5 kilowatts each. Plaxo. The future of energy? Be an Action Hero. Resource Furniture's Space Savers on LXTV.
