It's been a busy week, lots of posts and a few others interesting articles:
The 2010 Shanghai World Expo • World Green Roof Development Conference is coming up in May. It's INCREDIBLE what's happening in China, check out the pictures and check out this stat: Beijing has signed on to green 100,000 square meters of roof per year.
Having no clue how big this is, I did the math. That means the government has committed to greening enough rooftops to equal the size of Manhattan every 4 YEARS! So far, China has greened the equivalent of 10 MANHATTANS.
WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!
-More on Detroit's urban ag experiment. What do you do with a population of 700,000 in a geography that can accommodate three times that much? Grow, grow, grow.
-The newest design trend? How about volcanos?
-From the four corners region of the USA, Mark Moody is bettin' the ranch on mesquite. Mesquite wood, mesquite flour, mesquite honey. If he makes that mesquite smoke flavoring in a bottle, I'll be giving him a call.
-Next week look for the start of a semi-regular column interviewing folks from the living architecture field. It should be a blast.
-Also on a completely unrelated, but truly important note, for those who don't know Passing Strange is on Great Performances on PBS. But what is Passing Strange, you might ask? See it... hear it ...and you're good for the arts for the rest of your life. Oh yeah, my brother's in it too, he's got talent to burn.
