Public Interest Design Your Street | Own, Love and Improve Your Street. Bosco Verticale : une forêt dans la ville (diaporama) Dans son vaste projet de réaménagement urbain BioMilano, en prévision de l’exposition internationale de 2015, l’architecte transalpin Stefano Boeri prévoit la construction d’une ceinture verte et d’immeubles végétalisés afin de redonner des espaces verts à la capitale économique italienne. Car la ville lombarde est polluée et manque d’espaces verts. Il a donc imaginé, entre autres, deux tours d’habitation de grande hauteur disposant de terrasses implantées en quinconce, et totalement végétalisées. Actuellement en cours de construction dans le quartier Garibaldi-Repubblica, les deux immeubles mesurent respectivement 80 et 112 mètres. Ils devraient participer au changement d’aspect de la ville qui se dote de nombreuses structures de grandes hauteurs : projet CityLife qui comprend trois gratte-ciel de 170 à 218 mètres, « Cité de la mode » culminant à 220 mètres, futur siège de la région Lombardie (163 mètres), tours Varesine de 140 et 150 mètres, etc.
HappyCiclistas Panelion: Art Fund Pavilion By Cre8 Architecture The objective of The Art Fund Pavilion architecture competition is to provide The Lightbox Gallery in London with a semi-permanent summer pavilion which will sit alongside their RIBA award-winning building by Marks Barfield Architects. Tina Manis Associates have been announced as the winners of a competition to design a pavilion for The Lightbox Gallery in Woking, UK. ‘Panelion’ is one of the two entries submitted by cre8architecture. Concept The concept of the pavilion is to experiment with a developmental pattern in the evolution of an organism, to let spontaneous forces go without mediation. The pavilion is now one creature dipped in the real bio mass. Technical – wood frame & reactive skin The structure of the pavilion is a plywood frame assembled into ribs-like elements. Each rib is a flat panel on a vertical plane (world z axis). The reactive skin is a high-tech Teflon membrane protecting the structure designed to react to changing light conditions.

People, like companies, have problems they cannot solve alone. “Theory is when you know everything but nothing works. A quick history of our experience with Accelerators (VA)™ From 1989 to 1995, I worked with a team involved in researching how companies in different industries use variations of the same process innovations in new product development, customer acquisition, production, distribution, and other major processes.
