Inhabitat » Algae-Covered Buildings Boost Biofuel Production
I’ve heard of houses with vines, but this is a new twist - all sorts of possibilities open up if you do this…Could the plants clean the indoor air? Could they produce fuel? Would they restrict your view, and how would you construct a building so that they don’t.
“Artist Tetsuya Nakamura’s Premium Unit Series of curvaceous, luxury bathroom fixtures — a tub, a pair of sinks, a step designed for insertion into a stairwell, and a decorative column — are sculpted from fiber-reinforced plastic and painted with colorful, fluid patterns meant to evoke a sense of speed. The sink costs over $ 8,000. ” (via 15 Most Creative Sinks - Oddee.com)
I like this design but Target oughta come out with something way cheaper - err somebody should - why can’t a sink be artistic?

8-Story Antigravity Forest Facade Takes Root
A plastic-coated aluminum frame is fastened to the wall and covered with synthetic felt into which plant roots can burrow. A custom irrigation system keeps the felt moist with a fertilizer solution modeled after the rainwater that trickles through forest canopies.
Because the walls are so high, conditions vary widely. The shade at ground level is perfect for rare Asian nettles; on the brighter upper stories, plants that usually cling to windblown cliff faces brave the blustery British breezes.
Eighty percent of the plants at the Athenaeum are evergreen; 20 percent are seasonal. They are planted according to environmental demands — those that need more sun, for example, go up top. Ferns go below, where there’s more shade.
