ABEER SEIKALY Human life throughout history has developed in alternating waves of migration and settlement. The movement of people across the earth led to the discovery of new territories as well as the creation of new communities among strangers forming towns, cities, and nations. Navigating this duality between exploration and settlement, movement and stillness is a fundamental essence of what it means to be human. In the aftermath of global wars and natural disasters, the world has witnessed the displacement of millions of people across continents. Design is supposed to give form to a gap in people’s needs.
Une ferme verticale cité Cachin Le Parisien | 06 Oct. 2012, 07h00 Le pari est osé. Au milieu des barres d'immeubles grisonnantes de la cité Cachin, qui fait l'objet d'une rénovation urbaine, devrait s'ériger une tour vitrée d'environ 1500 m2, dans laquelle un agriculteur produirait ses cultures sur sept niveaux. Le bâtiment visé? Le K. Une partie de cette bâtisse vieillissante, sur laquelle sont installés des échafaudages, est en pleine réhabilitation. Un emploi et une agriculture raisonnée « L'objectif est de sortir l'agriculture des campagnes », précise d'emblée le cabinet de la maire (DVG), Corinne Valls. > Venez débattre et poser vos questions sur nos forums !
Vincent van Gogh Vincent Willem van Gogh (Dutch: [ˈvɪnsɛnt ˈʋɪləm vɑn ˈɣɔx] ( );[note 1] 30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a Post-Impressionist painter of Dutch origin whose work—notable for its rough beauty, emotional honesty, and bold color—had a far-reaching influence on 20th-century art. After years of painful anxiety and frequent bouts of mental illness,[1][2] he died aged 37 from a gunshot wound, generally accepted to be self-inflicted (although no gun was ever found).[3][note 2] Letters Vincent c. 1873 aged 19. Although many are undated, art historians have generally been able to put them in chronological order. Biography Early life Vincent c. 1866, approx. age 13 As a child, Vincent was serious, silent, and thoughtful. The house "Holme Court" in Isleworth, where Van Gogh stayed in 1876 [23][24] Van Gogh returned to England for unpaid work as a supply teacher in a small boarding school overlooking the harbor in Ramsgate, where he made sketches of the view.

The Coming Bold Transformation of the American City - Enrique Peñalosa In 40 years, 2.7 billion more people will live in world cities than do now, according to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs. Urban growth in China, India, and most of the developing world will be massive. But what is less known is that population growth will also be enormous in the United States. The U.S. population will grow 36 percent to 438 million in 2050 from 322 million today. At today’s average of 2.58 persons per household, such growth would require 44.9 million new homes. To meet this demand, completely new urban environments will have to be created in the United States. Battery Park City in Manhattan exemplifies how the quality of urban life can be enhanced by replacing waterfront roadways with parks or pedestrian infrastructure. It is unlikely that city building on the scale to be seen through 2050 will happen ever again. Despite the ills of the suburbs, most Americans do not want to live in a Manhattan-like environment either. New York in 1867.

Arvo Pärt Sound Cloud - Coop Himmelb(l)au The Sound Cloud takes reference from Arvo Pärt’s music as well as the dense pine forest. Its shape is derived from the song “Spiegel im Spiegel”, consolidating the main sequence spectrogram of the song into the curves of a roof. This cloud of sound forms an introverted space within where the music is played and listened to and a space underneath that becomes the work and meeting place for the people interested in the legacy of the composer. The cloud only touches the ground where it is thickened to house the performance space, and otherwise hovers between the trees, like the tree house of the observation platform, suspended in the natural environment of the forest. The complex rooms of the program are organized in their functional groups and combined into a box building that is placed underneath the roof.
L’agriculture verticale, l’avenir de l’alimentation urbaine? / Europe Duncan Graham-Rowe, collaborateur à The Economist et The Guardian en Grande-Bretagne, se demande si les immeubles de grande hauteur ne seraient pas la solution pour l’alimentation de demain. Illustration conceptuelle d'une ferme verticale. © Oliver Foster Légende ou réalité, les jardins suspendus de Babylone sont sur le point de revoir le jour dans nos villes. C’est en tout cas de cette manière que Dan Caiger-Smith décrit l’agriculture dite ‘verticale’. L’idée est simple : utiliser au maximum les petits espaces en remplissant des serres de parterres de plantes empilés les uns sur les autres. On se tourne donc aujourd’hui vers un système qui pourrait multiplier par 20 la productivité des espaces agricoles actuels, mais également gaspiller moins d’eau, limiter les kilométrages et les coûts énergétiques et respecter les normes alimentaires. Le système de Valcent nécessite à peu près la même quantité d’énergie qu’un ordinateur allumé pendant dix heures par jour. urbanag.org.uk
Art History in Sherlock Holmes: Vincent Van Gogh and J.M.W. Turner « Art History Ramblings Amazing the art history references one can find in both the original stories and various adaptations. If you want to read about art history and the Mona Lisa subplot in the Granada adaptation of The Final Problem, I recommend Three Pipe Problem’s highly informative take on the story. Cut for spoilers Leviathan Despite the skeptical feelings people had, I think Elementary captured the spirit of the original stories. I wonder, out of all the Van Gogh paintings the writers chose, they chose that one. Or am I reading too much into it? I do find it amusing that they picked a Van Gogh, especially since Sherlock actor Benedict Cumberbatch played Van Gogh in a documentary. The Reichenbach Fall Magnificent painting, yes? “It is indeed, a fearful place. Now, back to the BBC episode: I finally watched it. The use of J.M.W. Not only acting as a reference to The Final Problem, the painting itself acted as a portent to Moriarty destroying Mycroft’s and Sherlock’s arrogance and influence. Like this:
Reconstruction of Nahr el-Bared Refugee Camp The homes of 27,000 Palestinian refugees will be replaced as part of this reconstruction project underway at Nahr el-Bared, 16 kilometres outside of Tripoli, Lebanon (+ slideshow). First established in the 1940s to accommodate refugees from the Lake Huleh area of northern Palestine, the 19-hectare Nahr el-Bared refugee camp was almost entirely destroyed during the 2007 conflict between the Lebanese Armed Forces and the extremist group Fatah Al-Islam. Thousands of families were forced to abandon their homes and seek temporary refuge at another nearby camp. In 2008 the United Nations Relief & Works Agency embarked on an ambitious project to replace the buildings that had been destroyed. The reconstruction includes the replacement of all infrastructure for the camp, including water and sewage networks as well as electricity. The first families began returning to their homes in 2011 and the first three completed schools opened to students later the same year.

Le Monde.fr : Supplément spécial Près de 60 % de l’Humanité se concentre aujourd’hui dans les zones urbaines. D’ici 2050, cette proportion devrait atteindre 80 %, et la planète gagnera au bas mot 3 milliards d’habitants. Même en anticipant certaines évolutions technologiques, l’agriculture traditionnelle ne pourra pas répondre à la demande alimentaire : 80 % des surfaces arables du globe sont déjà en exploitation, et 15 % de ces sols ont même été épuisés (agriculture intensive, pollution, désertification…). Heureusement, architectes, designers et ingénieurs agronomes allient leurs compétences pour inventer la ferme de demain : au cœur des villes, et… à la verticale ! Force est de constater que l’agriculture intensive « sature ». Mais puisque les surfaces cultivables ne sont pas extensibles (hormis par la déforestation, qui a elle-même des conséquences dramatiques), comment faire pour produire la nourriture nécessaire à une population mondiale toujours croissante ? Une utopie au service de l’avenir
