Perth Hospital's Healing Lanscape - 0 views

  •  
    The idea that the environment can aid healing is not a new one. In her book 'Healing Spaces", Dr. Esther M. Sternberg has explored the health benefits to patients on both a mental and physical level when exposed to plants and larger organic environments. Australian industry giants Brookfield Multiplex and HASSELL are taking on these principles and shaping their design and construction processes with environmental healing as a key foundation of their latest Perth healthcare development.

  •  
    We look especially at BIM and its role in the development and management of smart cities of the future, being created today. We are keen to see technology enable the creation of highly functional communities and spaces for habitation and working that promote the idea of coexistence, while the structures are themselves responsible citizens, contributing to preserve the environment and the planet.

Floodwater to Provide Irrigation in Queensland - 0 views

  •  
    Queensland has seen some devastating effects as a result of natural environmental disasters such as the powerful floods they experienced at the beginning of this year. In light of the damage caused by the floods, both the federal government and Queensland state government have banded together in order to use the excess water more effectively. In the latest reports, the combined government entities plan to harness the wet season floodwaters and channel them into irrigation systems. In creating an irrigation system that puts the floodwaters to positive use, the government hopes to protect infrastructure from the effects of the environment, as well as harness the water efficiently.

Australia's Classroom of the Future - 0 views

  •  
    Sustainable architecture and classrooms of the future have finally come together in an Australian green building concept that is out of this world. The latest renderings of what is arguably one of world's most impressive sustainable educational facilities have been released and already they are causing a stir in both architectural and green building fields. Created by architectural firm LAVA, the aptly named 'classroom of the future' is a design concept that sees the creation of a prefabricated, relocatable learning environment, which incorporates innovative and clever design features.

Construction an Underwater Vision - 0 views

  •  
    The architecture industry has been in recent times exploring the growing world of artificial organisms. We have continuously covered this increasing trend, with examples of man-made organics in China and Singapore, varying from artificial islands, to trees and most recently coral reefs. It is no surprise that through the heightened levels of toxins and rubbish now running into our oceans everyday that certain sections of incredibly valuable, and aesthetically stunning underwater environments are dying. This is caused by various reasons including: the everyday home owner chemical run offs, the larger oil spills and natural disasters, but the fact is, we are killing it faster than it is able to grow back.

A Tree Formed Tower for the Amazon - 0 views

  •  
    One major green belt that has seen the devastating results of deforestation is the Amazon jungle. From 1991 until 2001 the total area cleared jumped from 415,000 km2 to 587,000 km2, proving that this massive, unsustainable deforestation effort has not been just a thing of the past. In fact, it was only last year that deforestation figures slowed to their lowest numbers yet. For many in the green building industry, that is how they would like it to continue. Offering to lead this conservation effort is London-based architectural firm Marks Barfield. Who have impressed architecture and environmental communities worldwide with their £6.4m proposal for a research centre in the Amazon, which will include a central, tree-shaped observation tower and 6 miles of tree top canopy walkways. Due to the nature and function of this tower, in addition to the limitations that the rural, fragile Brazilian environment holds, a sustainable building ideology forms the foundation of the proposal.

les panneaux solaire - Le 20 heures - Les journaux télévisés de France 2 - FO... - 0 views

  • Je ne sais pas si tu te rends compte mais un lingot permet de faire 4 panneaux solaires de 1m² qui produisent 4x130w et qui ont une durée de vie de 20ans. si tu n'utilises que les chutes de lingots, il faut 6 lingots pour faire 1 panneaux qui produira 130w avec une durée de vie de 20ans (pour faire un panneaux en poly silicium donc avec les chutes des lingots, il faut encore faire fondre les chutes 1400°C pendant quelques heures). Imagine maintenant l'énergie qu'il faut pour faire 4 panneaux solaire (9x24heures à 1200°C), l'énergie qu'il faut est beaucoup plus importante que ce que 4 panneaux de 130w pendant 20ans peuvent produire (et là je parle que de l'énergie). En gros un panneau solaire de 130w ne rembourse pas l'énergie qu'il a eu besoin pour être fabriqué  c'est bien le problème des média qui ne parlent que des bonnes choses de ces panneaux et qui arrive à faire croire à des personnes comme toi que c'est écologique.  
  • la plupart des panneaux solaires en silicium proviennent des déchets de l'industrie microélectronique
  • fabrique les panneaux solaires, les lampes à DEL, les processeurs,.... je vais parler du monde du silicium. La base de ces panneaux solaire est donc le cristal silicium pur, pour obtenir ce silicium on met du sable (SiO2) dans un creusé et on le fait fondre à 1400°C. Une fois le silicium  fondu et les molécules d'oxygène évacué, on plonge un germe de cristal de silicium dans le creusé que l'on tire tout doucement (1mm/15min) afin d'obtenir un cristal du silicium.   Il faut environs 24 heures pour obtenir un lingot de silicium et pendant ce temps le creusé doit resté à 1400°C. S’en suit une purification du lingot, on recuit le lingot 5 à 6 fois à 1000°C pendant à chaque fois 24 heures cela fait beaucoup beaucoup d'énergie et donc beaucoup beaucoup de CO2.   Une fois le lingot pur obtenu, il faut le découper et le polir (là on utilise beaucoup d'eau il ne faut pas que le silicium chauffe). S’en suit alors la réalisation du système, là il s’agit d'une répétition de dépôt de résine toxique, cuisson, attaque chimique (acide fluoridrique), dépôt chimique (silane SiH4 et Tétrafluorosilane SiF4 qui produit des gaz fluoré très toxique avec une duré de vie de 150ans) généralement l'opération est répété 40 fois environ. Après les systèmes obtenu il faut les découpés, mettre dans des boitiers,...  Bien sur, je ne parle pas du transport car la plupart des systèmes sont fabriqué en Asie, il y a aussi des à côté comme les salles blanches,.... les ordinateur qui tourne 24 heures sur 24 7jours /7.  Il faut 1 lingot pour fait 4 panneaux de 1 m²

  • produire 1m² de panneaux solaire engendre plus de CO2 que se qu’il permet d’évité de rejeter et donc il n’a pas d’intérêt dans la lute contre le changement climatique. Par contre c’est une bonne alternative pour la fin du pétrole (si on n’a pas peur de la pollution)
  • la fabrication d'un panneau produit plus de CO2 que se qu'il évite de rejeter le temps de sa durée de vie
  •  
    une vérité sur les panneaux solaires ... à suivre de près à moins que les panneaux photovoltaïques soient condamnés et obsolètes dès ce jour ...

Projects: Bio-Soil Improvement - 0 views

  • Bio-Mediate Cementation Technique The utilization of aerobic and anaerobic bacterial processes provides a unique opportunity to harness natural biological processes for engineering purposes.  In this study bacterial (microbial) mineral precipitation of calcium carbonate (calcite) was performed.  The creation of calcium carbonate (calcite) cement occurs as a consequence of bacterial metabolic activity which raises the pH of the proximal environment.  The local pH rise may be achieved by the production of ammonia and carbon dioxide resulting from the enzymatic hydrolysis of urea.  Bacillus pasteurii, a common soil bacteria, uses urea as an energy source and produces ammonia which increases pH, in turn causing Ca2+ and CO32- to precipitate as CaCO3.  Microbiologically-induced calcite precipitation occurs according to the reactions:

    this is the site of Mitchell Joachim, PHd at MiT ... netx has very good intuitions and plays far with formal designs...Terreform ONE [Open Network Ecology] is a nonprofit organization and philanthropic design collaborative that integrates ecological principles in the urban environment. The group views ecology in design as not only a philosophy that inspires visions of sustainability and social justice but also a focused scientific endeavor. The mission is to ascertain the consequences of fitting a project within our natural world setting. Solutions range from; green master planning, urban self-sufficiency infrastructures, community development activities, climatic tall buildings, performative material technologies, and smart mobility vehicles for cities. These design iterations seek an activated ecology both as a progressive symbol and an evolved artifact. Terreform is a winner of the Infiniti Design Excellence Award - History Channel City of the Future competition.

  • UHPC (Ultra High Performance Concrete) is a concrete with an extreme dense micro-structure generated by powder-like silica sand. The material density is responsible for a compression strength that is almost comparable to steel and a surface quality that reflecting perfectly the material used as mould. Equipped with steel fibres as a part of the aggregate the self-compressing material can be disburdened from traditional rebars while providing high tensile strength. www.gtecz.com Wiring is an open source programming environment and electronics i/o board for exploring the electronic arts, tangible media. It is developed by Hernando Barragan and build on Processing. www.wiring.org.co
