Industrial Design - Rotterdam Architecture Biennale Review. Surviving The Flood A Review of the Rotterdam Architecture Biennale by Deena DeNaro BigFoot Floating Stadium (Heneghan Peng Architects) Memo to Mayor Bloomberg, Dan Doctoroff, Bruce Ratner et al: If, after all this, you still want to put a stadium in New York City, the Bigfoot Stadium is the best way to do it.

Industrial Design - Rotterdam Architecture Biennale Review

Designed by Heneghan Peng Architects for the International Ideas Competition in 1997, this floating stadium is just one of the innovative urban planning solutions that were exhibited this summer in Rotterdam. The proposed stadium is situated on a naval carrier so if a team is sold to another city (most major cities are situated near ports or rivers), the new owners can take the stadium with them. A floating stadium not only shifts the building costs and infrastructure headaches from city taxpayers to sporting franchises, but can also alleviate the congestion of traffic arteries before and after the event.

Light boats. Valves. What is Ecoboat? Ecoboat (boot is the Dutch word for boat) is a way of thinking about a sustainable future.

What is Ecoboat?

A future in which one is independent of fossil fuels and prepared for a rise of the sea level. Considering the climate change, the Ecoboat idea of living at sea is not a bad one. An ever greater part of the world population lives in metropolises. Especially in metropolises the scarcity of the three essential conditions of life: spaceenergy, andwater is felt most strongly. Space (with proper protection against the waves, metropolises can be extended here with floating buildings and infrastructure)energy (this is still uncontrolled energy, that is why we don’t live there yet, but ever better methods are discovered to convert this wild energy in useful energy)water (with the energy of the waves sea water can be converted to drinking water and water for irrigation).

Complicating a simple project. First I removed the side strings and tied the side meshes together using the sheet bend but NO gauge. Next I took away the end loops. Starting at A (either end) I went across the end row tying into 2 meshes each time. I tied 20 rows to hake a shoulder strap. To tie back into the body of the bag I put a loop through the middle of the handle to stretch the netting apart, I first tied into the first 2 loops of the 8 and then back to the handle in the numerical sequence shown. TaDa clarification of first step in modification.
