For those of you who live in a space with no access to windows…you maybe interested in the ANDREA designed by Mathieu Lehanneur and David Edwards. ANDREA is a natural purifier that uses plants to bring fresh air into the space. Not a bad start, but would be interested to see a module version of this within the space to produce a featured wall.

From Icon comes news of the Zamani Project, a fascinating research initiative in which University of Cape Town scientists render the African landscape in 3-D. Through photography, laser-scanning, and a slew of other mapping techniques we’ve never heard of (photogrammetry? say what?) — they’re compiling a uniquely comprehensive digital database of Africa’s built environment, from Persian baths in Zanzibar to mosques in Timbuktu. As best we can tell, it’s the largest documentation endeavor of its kind.

Not sure as to how to comment or start a discussion involving green-wash related to architecture. What can I say, we (architects) have become very good at using excessive green roofscapes to develop architecture ideas, in the process, missing the bigger idea that is important…how much of the green is really necessary? I think we need to look no further than to our local golf courses and understand the costs associated with the maintenance and maybe we can start to understand the scale issue problem we are creating.
