Tardonaturalezas textiles: Prototipos Atrapanieblas. En medio del desierto de Atacama y bajo condiciones climáticas que son extremas, aparece una formación nubosa prevaleciente denominada “camanchaca”.
A partir de estas condiciones paisajísticas y tomando en cuenta esta particular formación nubosa capaz dar vida a ciertas especies de vegetación baja, (de 300 a 800m de altitud) el Laboratorio de Artes Maquínicas de la UTFSM desarrolló un trabajo denominado Tardonaturalezas “Jardin de Niebla”, los cuales consistieron en 6 prototipos atrapanieblas pensados como mecanismos de absorción, distribución y provisión de agua para ser utilizada de diversas maneras, operando a escala territorial. Desarrollado en Alto Patache en terrenos del Centro del Desierto de Atacama de la Universidad Católica, estos prototipos (o máquinas textiles) fueron instalados en una de las lomas del acantilado costero con el objetivo de hidratar los suelos arenosos y la capa de semillas, estimulando así el crecimiento de nuevos ecosistemas instalados con el entorno.

In 20 years according to the U.N Census, a shortage of land in fully developed coastal cities such as Hong Kong, Shanghai, Tokyo will reach into the afterlife. By 2030, “No Room for the Dead” will become a rising social, political and cultural issue in many urban cities. In Hong Kong, land scarcity has created such soaring prices for graveyard plots that 90% of the dead are now cremated.
Fish ladder. History[edit] Denil Fishway on Salmon Creek, Montana Written reports of rough fishways date to 17th-century France, where bundles of branches were used to create steps in steep channels to bypass obstructions.
A version was patented in 1837 by Richard McFarlan of Bathurst, New Brunswick, Canada, who designed a fishway to bypass a dam at his water-powered lumber mill.[2] In 1852–1854, the Ballisodare Fish Pass was built in County Sligo in Ireland to draw salmon into a river that had not supported a fishery. In 1880, the first fish ladder was built in Rhode Island, United States, on the Pawtuxet Falls Dam. *** The Biggest (and Hungriest) Machines.

If you discount CERN's Large Hadron Collider (which is officially the Largest Machine in the World; see the Google Earth picture below, and read our article about it) then the biggest MOVING machine build by humans would be the giant bucket wheel excavator "Bagger 288" built by Krupp in Germany in 1978. This enormous mining machine (300 meters long, weight: 45,500 tons) is capable of moving on its treads to the various open-air mine locations. Innovative Marine Research Center in Bali / solus4.

The program is composed of three main components: public, semipublic and private. The spaces vary from underwater labs, scientist bedrooms and aquatic garden to sea water pool, swimming pool terrace, bar and an auditorium. P.O.K Passenger Transportation District / Sun and Associates. Kaohsiung, the largest port city in Taiwan, is in need of a cruise ship passenger terminal and public face for its contribution to the islands growing cultural importance.
Sun and Associate’s submitted proposal for the Passenger Transportation District for the Port of Kaohsiung is a sweeping architectural statement on public use and green urban design. The obvious allusion to a wave creates a welcoming sensibility to visitors and speaks to the islands relationship to the sea. The building’s mixed use as a conference center, office, port and urban park expand the programs flexibility and public/ private accessibility.
The façade is oriented to maximize solar gain in the form of daylight, both direct and indirect, and for a solar electric array on the roof. Roof fenestration, mimicking the solar panels help light the main atrium. The atrium is linked to other interior spaces by double height open corridors and landings. Never to be Finished Skyscraper is a Flexible Neighborhood / Geotectura Studio. The flexible character of Additional Hope’s plan is based on the use of original neighborhood’s building blocks, which determine the buildings’ orientation and demarcate the green spaces around them.
