Green Roof Design: 10 Stunning, Sustainable Works of Architecture

Green Roof Design: 10 Stunning, Sustainable Works of Architecture | Managing the Transition | Scoop.it

While the practice of building green roofs is centuries old, it has experienced a renaissance as the structural philosophy of the future. A living green roof reduces the costs of heating and cooling, encourages the local wildlife and naturally filters the rain water it receives. Here, we celebrate the work of some of today’s most talented, most progressive architects, who have adopted green roof design techniques to yield beautiful, sustainable works of architecture.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Is Completely Amazing and Utterly Boring | Gadget Lab | Wired.com | Managing the Transition | Scoop.it
Did you see Samsung’s theater of the absurd yesterday? No? Good for you. It unleashed a pale imitation of a Broadway show to roll out its amazing new flagship, the Galaxy S4.
Fab GOUX-BAUDIMENT's insight:

Indeed this paper is not about S4 but about incremental innvation v. radical innovation. When "revolution becomes evolution", isn't it scaring?

Urbamedia's curator insight, March 11, 2013 11:21 AM

Le designer Kyung Guk Lee a imaginé une corde à sauter du nom de «  e-rope « , qui permet de recharger des piles. L’appareil est capable de produire de l’électricité pour charger une paire de piles AA dans chaque manche. Vous pouvez aussi suivre l’évolution de la recharge de vos piles grâce à un indicateur sur les manches. Il faut environ 20 minutes d’utilisation pour charger complètement quatre piles AA.
