In this Earthship, witness the potential of harmonious, eco-friendly design respecting our planet's beauty and inhabitants' well-being. The exterior features a living roof, blending with nature, while the well-planned interior provides a calm, inviting atmosphere.

Today, I'm visiting Al-Andalus for #FensterFreitag. The Alhambra, in Granada, has many simply jaw-dropping interiors. This is the Throne Room in the Hall of the Ambassadors. Shortly after the end of Muslim rule, it was in this room that Columbus received his commission to sail to the New World...

"As a result [of the problems with tenements], tenement reformers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries advocated for buildings to be constructed with more windows and larger yards – campaigns that were often rooted in Victorian-era concerns about the evils of ‘foul air’, which was believed to cause infectious disease."

Idk, given the recent issues with ventilation, air quality, and #covid I can't help but think the Victorian reformers were on to something there 🤔 https://worksinprogress.co/issue/chinese-towers-and-american-blocks/ #history #architecture

Prudence and Adventure on the1906 National Bank of Scotland on St Enoch Square in Glasgow. They were created by Phyllis Archibald, the only female sculptor I know of whose work adorns an Edwardian or Victorian building in the city.

The #fediverse-we-have is predominantly #AppCentric, and that rigid perspective is limiting the promise and potential of the #ActivityPub#SocialWeb protocol.

What would it mean to offer #services on the fediverse, that people can discover, obtain and compose into solutions that satisfy their #social networking needs?

By focusing more on the #ServiceOriented message exchange #architecture, the future fediverse can be one of versatile and interoperable Apps & Services.

I knew they'd used old wind turbine blades in the construction of this new building. Until I saw the finished building close up, I didn't know how. Wind turbine blades repurposed into heat shades. There's a certain climate-crisis harmony in that.

Close up of a single dark-toned window in an aluminium facade. A vertical sun screen made of wind turbine blade is extended vertically on our side. There’s a vase with long-stemmed colourful flowers on the windowsill inside. Same long overall description as in other Alt Texts follows: the new Træ (Danish for Wood, and also Tree) office block at Sydhavnen (South Harbour), Aarhus, Denmark. It is Denmark’s tallest wooden building at 20 storeys and 78 metres high. Concrete and glass are also used. Most of the material is reused or recycled. It is quite narrow and cylindrical in three sections connected with enclosed bridges at upper floors and an outer red ramp footbridge. The cladding is very striking, sort of tiled or patchworked, lighter and darker areas dotted with reflective silver patches that snake down the façade almost like lightning, shining out across the city in different light. The many rectangular windows deeply reflect the surroundings and sky. Each rectangular window has an external sun screen that can be extended vertically. Each shade is made from a recycled wind turbine blade. Other recycled elements: bricks, aluminium facade sheets, light fittings. Lendager Architects designed Træ to be sustainable and to capture C02.

Recycled wood, recycled aluminium sheets, recycled wind turbine blades.

Inside, they recycled and redesigned 2,000 light fittings from old Netto supermarkets. They hired and trained socially vulnerable people from the local community for the special project that did the repurposing work on the lights.
