"Sustainable Decadence": A Wind-Powered Hot Tub Built From Scrap : TreeHugger

Images copyright Ross Stevens Ross Stevens demonstrated with his Shipping Container House that he has a way with junk. He writes that his "general approach to design is to find materials/objects that have concluded their first lives." He combines his environmental sensibilities with his epicurean love of a long hot shower by building what he calls "Sustainable Decadence" - a wind-powered hot tub and spa made out of scrap. Ross writes: I wanted to challenge the assumption that sustainable means having less.
“ Safe House ” was designed by Kwk Promes Architects and is located in Warsaw, Poland. The aim of the project was to create a two-level “fortress” that would provide a high level of security for the owners. Which is why the house features movable concrete walls that can pretty much isolate the entire residence when the owners are away for example. The house can literally be “closed” and “opened” according to the needs of the inhabitants. Here is more from the architects: “ When the set of 15 meter-long retractable walls on the eastern and western side are slid all the way out, the entry plot is enclosed into a temporary courtyard space. The back of the house, which faces an expansive garden to the south, features a 6 meter-high roll-down gate that completely opens up the interior to the exterior. http://freshome.com/2011/04/27/imposing-concrete-residence-in-warsaw-safe-house/

Imposing Concrete Residence in Warsaw: Safe House

Dai Haifei, 24, a newly graduated architect, decided to make his own egg-style home after being unable to afford Beijing’s sky-high rental prices. The two-meter high house with two wheels underneath is made from sack bags on the outside wall, bamboo splints on the inside and wood chippings and grass seeds in between. “The seeds will grow in the natural environment and it’s cold-proof," Dai explained. Dai was inspired to build the 6,427 yuan ($964) home after attending the 2010 Shanghai Biennale Exhibition where he was attracted by a novel architectural project called "City's egg" earlier this year. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2010-12/01/content_11638327.htm

Eco-city Inside a One Kilometer Crater in Siberia - eVolo | Architecture Magazine

http://www.evolo.us/architecture/eco-city-inside-a-one-kilometer-crater-in-siberia/ Eco-city 2020 is a proposal for the rehabilitation of the Mirniy industrial zone in Eastern Siberia, Russia designed by the innovative architectural studio AB Elis Ltd . The project would be located inside a giant man-made crater of more than one kilometer in diameter and 550 meters deep that used to be one of the world’s largest quarries. The idea is to create a new garden city that will be shielded from the harsh Siberian environmental conditions characterized by long and severe winters and short hot summers. The new city would attract tourists and residents to Eastern Siberia and would be able to accommodate more than 100,000 people.

Dome over a new tourist City Using Epcot Business Model for Geodesic Ecodream city

Over a series of articles (I will link in the other articles as they are written) we will be showing that dome cities can be made profitably and that they can provide energy efficiency and other benefits. This article provides some examples of large EFTE structures that provide climate control for the interior structures and current largest examples of geodesic domes. An EFTE Geodesic dome can probably be brought down to $3-5 million per acre in cost. However, even $10-20 million per acre domes can be very profitable. Domes can make buildings inside more economical by reducing the need to heat or cool them. The Dome themselves can leverage atmospheric and other effects to maintain constant internal climate and generate power. http://nextbigfuture.com/2010/07/introducing-updated-dome-city-plans-for.html

Amazing Sustainable 15-Story Hotel Built in 6 Days! [Video]

This incredible architecture news travels the Globe and shows everyone the impossible. Constructing a 15-story project doesn’t seem like a tough job in China though, where building the Ark Hotel didn’t even mean hiring workers through night time. The unique development took place in Changsa and already had its foundation.

Arhitekturni koncept oblikovalca Michaela Jantzena , Homestad House, odkriva možnosti uporabe poceni jeklenih konstrukcij v modularni gradnji, ki jo najpogosteje uporabljajo v poljedelske namene. Modularni bivalni sistem proizvaja elektriko iz sončnih celic in prek lastne vertikalne vetrne turbine ter izkorišča in zbira meteorno vodo. Ustvarjen je za večkratno razstavljanje in ponovno sestavljanje, ki ga je mogoče opraviti že s preprostim orodjem. Nosilna jeklena struktura je pokrita z lahko prevleko iz recikliranega jekla. Modularna zasnova omogoča dodajanje oz. odvzemanje bivalnih enot. http://www.ecoguerilla.si/clanki/modularna-hisa/15/97
