Superuse.org: Where recycling meets design

Welcome - Greengaged Plastic-Planet. Facts, Videos und Alternativprodukte zu Plastik CELL Le blog de glaneurs de possible - Green Design Institute The Green Design Institute is a major interdisciplinary education and research effort to make an impact on environmental quality by partnering with companies, government agencies and foundations to develop pioneering management, manufacturing, and regulatory processes that can improve environmental quality and product quality while enhancing economic development. Students from many different degree programs at Carnegie Mellon can participate in the Green Design Institute activities. Through the Green Design Institute, we are solving problems and building tools that help businesses accomplish more with less. Our focus is on developing practical pollution prevention technologies and lowering costs, by recycling scarce resources, using fewer raw materials and creating better products. For example, our environmental life cycle assessment tool using an input output model is available on the web at www.eiolca.net. Michael Griffin, Co-Director Chris T.

Bienvenue| Solutions Locales pour un D?sordre Global List of air-filtering plants The first list of air-filtering plants was compiled by NASA as part of the NASA Clean Air Study,[1][2][3] which researched ways to clean air in space stations. As well as absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, as all plants do, these plants also eliminate significant amounts of benzene, formaldehyde and/or trichloroethylene. The second and third list are from B. C. Wolverton's book[4] and paper[5] and focus on removal of specific chemicals. NASA researchers suggest efficient air cleaning is accomplished with at least one plant per 100 square feet of home or office space.[1] Plants[edit] Foliage[edit] Most of the plants on the list evolved in tropical or subtropical environments.

devebere Sharing design knowledge Steel skin uses solar radiation to heat buildings Tata Steel has launched the Colorcoat Renew SC® integrated solar air heating system. The system incorporates the company’s micro-perforated Colorcoat Prisma® pre-finished steel as the solar collector, and is installed as an additional skin on a building’s wall, creating a cavity between it and the wall. Negative air pressure within the cavity draws in pre-heated boundary layer air through perforations in the transpired solar collector’s surface. Ten-year payback The company says that 1m2 of collector area can typically deliver 250kWh heat per year. Peter Wilks, marketing and sales director at Tata Steel, said: “Our latest products including Colorcoat Renew SC® are designed to harness energy, turning buildings into energy generators and bringing the goal of zero carbon buildings ever closer.’’ Before its launch to market, the product was applied to Tata Steel’s Sustainable Building Envelope Centre and to the Deeside Leisure Centre as part of its refurbishment.

Göteborg Bathing Culture “The City of Gothenburg will present the Jubilee Park with a proposed development timeframe of seven years, 2014-2021. If used effectively, the timespan between planning and implementation could contribute to creating a new commonspace; a platform in the city that is both physical and relational.” In this framework, raumlaborberlin is working on the realization of a public bath. As a first step the sauna tower and the changing rooms were completed in 2014. Frihamnen, one of the harbor areas of Gothenburg, is gradually losing its industrial character and is steadily becoming a new, central part of the city, open to be discovered and adopted by the citizens. The present state of transition, the traces of its former uses and the huge undefined spaces together make the area very attractive for the establishment and implementation of different kinds of cultural activities. Bath as a forum Public baths were once an intense place for social gathe­rings in our cities. City planning as a process

Studio Studio umschichten is an artistic practice based in the Wagenhallen in Stuttgart (Germany). The studio uses temporary architecture as an approach for immediate action and creates built interventions in order to display local needs, ideas or passion. umschichten visualizes theories, problems or a constellation of men and material by thinking about urban identities and the representation of different social and cultural groups in a city. They work fiercely on the boarders of love and fear in the urban space. Kontakt umschichten Innerer Nordbahnhof 1 70191 Stuttgart Peter Weigand Dipl. Lukasz Lendzinski Dipl.
