Here are some links to stories that I have found interesting over the past week:
The Solar Decation is coming back soon – This semi annual contest amongst architecture and engineering schools to create off grid housing and transportation is set to take over the National Mall on October 9 – 18. I’ll be taking a trip down there and writing about it.
The Philadelphia Free Library System is Closing – This is not only regrettable and sad news but totally avoidable, if tax payers were not so dead set against higher taxes in exchange for social programs. Archipreneur has a post highlighting planning “art” – These images of imagined distopian subdivisions are quite striking, not only because they are digital creations done without the use of photo manipulation, but also because of their dialogue concerning the insular nature of suburban communities.
Clips … A Daily Dose of Architecture highlights a SLR lens that can eliminate the Dreaded Parallax … Design Public has a post on an interesting wall texture … The Wall Street Journal has an article about starchitects crossing over into fashion … The Architect’s Newspaper has a post about the downside of geothermal energy … The White House is looking at applying for LEED rated status … Agricultural waste may soon be the next way of architectural construction members
