Lightweight Greenhouse Waiting To Be Unfolded
2008-07-16 22:50:00 I've heard a lot of complaints from people living in small spaces (dorms, apartments, condos, etc) about their inability to garden due to lack of space. I promised some of you I would keep a look out for innovative ways you can garden even with your limited space. Thanks to The Gin Lady, I have come across a possible solution for some of you.

periodic table of architecture
2008-06-10 19:43:00 Having connections to web development and architectural practice (I've developed sites for two architecture studios) I'm rather opinionated about the manner in which firms archive and market themselves online. In general, I think the presence of most architecture firms on the web is tremendously underwhelming and the organization of an online portfolio almost alway boils down to the "timeline vs. project typology" binary. That said, I was pleasantly surprised to stumble across the web site for LOHA: Lorcan O'Herlihy Architects this past weekend. The LOHA site mimics the structure and appearance of the Periodic Table of Elements and proposes a classification system for pertinent information associated with architectural practice. As illustrated in the screen capture above, the interface for the site is essentially the project archives and entries are categorized into news, project types, firm recognition and publications—all the information you'd expect a firm to provide. ...

The Only Rotating Boatlift In The World - The Falkirk Wheel.
2008-05-27 21:40:00 The Only Rotating Boatlift In The World - The Falkirk Wheel.The Falkirk Wheel (Scotland) is a remarkable & elegant mechanical marvel & is the only rotating boatlift in the world which is also been recognized as an inspirational sculpture for the 21st Century. It's a rotating boatlift connecting the Forth & Clyde Canal with the Union Canal & sited in a natural open amphitheatre near Falkirk. It can carry eight or more boats at a time & takes about 60 minutes for single time. This Millennium Link was an ambitious £84.5m project & the designers had a main objective in their minds & it was to create a functional boatlift that could raise & lower boats swiftly. The difference in the levels of the two canals at the wheel is 24 metres, which is equivalent to the height of an eight-story building. Yet the incredible civil engineering made it possible. The Falkirk Wheel's various parts were constructed & assembled at Butterley Engineering's Steelworks in Derbyshire. The whole struct...
