Park Royal Tower: WOHA's Stunning Vertical Garden Tower Opens in Singapore. Five Ways To Keep Your Home Warm This Winter. If you live in a poorly insulated home, and many of us do, you could spend thousands this winter on energy bills.

Ville durable[1] est une expression qui désigne une ville ou une unité urbaine respectant les principes du développement durable et de l'urbanisme écologique, qui cherche à prendre en compte simultanément les enjeux sociaux, économiques, environnementaux et culturels de l'urbanisme pour et avec les habitants par exemple au travers d'une architecture HQE, en facilitant les modes de travail et de transport sobres, en développant l'efficience du point de vue de la consommation d'énergies et des ressources naturelles et renouvelables.
Ce sont souvent des éco-villes ou écoquartiers cherchant à diminuer leur empreinte écologique en compensant leurs impacts et en tendant à rembourser leur « dette écologique ». Leur gouvernance se fait généralement suivant le principe de l'Agenda 21 local, incluant des modes de démocratie participative et parfois un objectif d'autarcie énergétique, voire alimentaire. À plus petite échelle on parle d'écovillage. What skyscrapers might look like in the future. Some among my readers may recall a dreadful incident, created by a dark genius of political theater, in September of 2001.
How to make creative cities — from buildings to buses. Thomas Heatherwick, photographed by Evan Chavez.
“I am in love with cities,” says British designer and architect Thomas Heatherwick (TED Talk: Building the seed cathedral). “It’s just incredible that we all live together, and together we add up to something incredibly rich.” Heatherwick has already come up with some pretty bold urban designs — including a garden-topped bridge across the River Thames, and London’s sleek new red city buses, wrapped in ribbons of glass. Here, the soft-spoken, 45-year-old architect describes how to bring a human scale and whimsical sensibility to urban life, to create a fabulous future fit for us all.
Every city has a unique chemistry. The best signature style is no signature style. The Bombay Sapphire gin distillery in Laverstoke, England, has arched glasshouses connected to historic brick mill buildings. Design is physical work.

Deux tours d'environ 100 mètres de haut viennent d'être primées par le prestigieux International Highrise Award 2014.
Leur particularité: abriter sur les balcons de chaque façade une véritable forêt d'arbres et d'arbustes, sans oublier insectes et oiseaux. Les Parisiens rêvent de verdure en ville, de murs végétalisés et de potagers sur leurs balcons? De l'autre côté des Alpes, c'est aux Milanais de plébisciter Bosco verticale (forêt verticale), une réalisation immobilière qui a été inaugurée le mois dernier, après cinq ans de travaux. Le pari de Stefano Boeri, l'architecte signataire du projet, a consisté à planter l'équivalent d'un hectare de forêt sur les balcons des deux tours de 80 et 112 mètres de haut, bâties en plein centre-ville.
Pouvoir anti-polluant Presque 900 arbres, mais aussi des milliers d'arbustes et de petites plantes ont été cultivés dans des pépinières avant d'être hissés par une grue avec leur motte de terre jusqu'à leur balcon de destination.

Spaceship-Style Floating Lab Could Be Exploring Our Oceans In 2016. Despite covering more than 70% of our planet’s surface, we know surprisingly little about Earth’s oceans.
With more than 95% of the world’s underwater realm unexplored, scientists know more about the surface of the Moon and Mars than the bottom of the ocean. Due to intense pressures and poor visibility, the deep ocean is an extremely challenging place to study. Comment faire des graffitis en mousse: 6 étapes. Édité par WikiHow Traduction, Team FR.
Urban Algae Farm Gobbles Up Highway Air Pollution. A French and Dutch design firm has come up with an elegantly simple way to harness the wonderful power of nature in order to clean up the environment: an algae farm suspended over a small stretch of highway in Geneva, Switzerland.

Densely Populated Countries Could Find Food Independence With Vertical Floating Farms. Singapore has roughly 5.4 million people crammed into 716 square kilometers (276 square miles), making it the most densely populated country in the world. This country—whose area is less than a quarter of that of Rhode Island—does not have enough room for agriculture and thus imports over 90% of its food from other countries all over the world.
Not only does this add considerable cost to food prices for Singaporeans, but the reliance on others might become problematic in the future if availability is low. While Singapore might not have much land to spare to grow food, it is surrounded by plenty of water. Barcelona-based architect Javier Ponce of JAPA Architects (now under the name of Forward Thinking Architecture) has designed what he calls Floating Responsive Agriculture (FRA).
Essentially, they’re large L-shaped structures that float, providing some much-needed space to grow food. Proposed FRA network around Singapore. Man Constructs 3D Printed Concrete Castle. Minnesotan contractor Andrey Rudenko is now the king of his castle; his 3D-printed concrete castle, that is. After completing a journey that took more than two years, Rudenko developed a customized 3D printer to extrude concrete and build a castle that he had designed himself. The entire structure is approximately 3 meters by 5 meters, which really makes it an amazing backyard fort rather than an actual livable structure. Extruding concrete to create 3D-printed buildings isn’t entirely novel. It has been proposed to quickly create inexpensive housing in poverty-stricken areas and even to build infrastructure on Mars before the arrival of astronauts.
However, those buildings were designed to be fairly simple and lacked architectural details. Une maison autonome et sans factures. Student Develops Inexpensive Solar Lens To Purify Polluted Water. Les fermes verticales ou comment réconcilier villes et production agricole ? On l’a tous appris dans nos livres de géographie, souvent la ville se définit par opposition à la campagne, la zone urbaine par opposition à la zone rurale… Et si cette vision, quelque peu réductrice, était désuète?

Single Tree Grows 40 Kinds Of Fruit. In an ongoing series on hybridizing fruit trees, Syracuse University sculptor Sam Van Aken’s Tree of 40 Fruit is true to its name. Most of the year, it looks pretty ordinary, but in the spring, the tree blossoms display various tones of pink, crimson, and white.
