I was not able to post anything yesterday, because I had a job interview. Now I present you my weekly links of interest.
I have a new article on DC Metrocentric This one is a further exploration on my opinions of the Solar Decathlon.
In case you missed it last week, I wrote an article for Greater Greater Washington about using the Washington & Old Dominion Trail for a new VRE/Dulles Express line. This article kicked off a big discussion about metro and the silver line. You can see the rest of the articles here.
Archipreneur has a link to a presentation by Mickey Jacob, FAIA to House Committee on Small Business. This video highlights the goals of the AIA’s Rebuild & Renew Plan, which primarily calls on congress to make available low or no interest loans which would be useable for design fees as well as construction. This is the kind of boost that the A/E industry really needs to stay alive.
Treehugger has an article on a Prefab Portable Green Roof Installed In Toronto. I love the idea that companies could install removable green roofs on buildings that they are leasing without having to make permanent physical changes. In addition, I think this technology poses great possibility for low impact temporary installations.
The Floating House, by Morphosis Architect Thom Mayne, has received more traction within the news. If this design type becomes more common in New Orleans my personal proposal for the city would definitely be doable.
clips … Media/Reality … A folding plywood seat … A Modern sofa (I could swear I’ve seen a similar IKEA piece) …
