Lyrics in English -

Yalla Yalla (excerpt, lyrics by Natik Awayez)

"

The too many words lost their meaning
and the roads lost their patience with the words.
Since my first wander the moon has followed me
and lit up my mouth
and allowed my blood to be spilled.
As I reach for the ocean
I sense the hands of thousands
growing out of the sand, trying the same
trying to grasp a sentence that was whispered
that could very well tell the final secret.
Now the moon shines over the roofs
and the ocean is an ocean for those who are safe in their silence.
Now I lose.

Le site du Dindon vous permet de DONNER !
DONNEZ une seconde vie aux objets dont vous voulez vous débarrasser.
Vous souhaitez vous séparer de certains objets que vous n'utilisez plus, que vous avez remplacés, et qui vous encombrent. Ne les jetez plus !
Avant de les envoyer à la poubelle, de foncer à la déchetterie, ou de les abandonner sur le trottoir, dites vous que quelqu'un peut réellement avoir besoin de ce qui ne vous intéresse plus.

D'un DON faites un HEUREUX
En postant une annonce sur le dindon vous rentrerez en contact avec les personnes intéressées par votre don. A coup sur vous ferez un heureux qui viendra vous débarrasser à domicile et vous donnerez une seconde vie à un objet qui allait bêtement finir sa vie à la poubelle. D'un geste simple, vous offrez quelque chose qui ne vous dépossède pas, en accomplissant un acte généreux et écologique.

Les dons se font uniquement de particulier à particulier.

Renzo Piano l'architecte qui construit vert à San Francisco

Les architectes qui utilisent la protection de l'environnement comme une source d'inspiration ne sont pas encore si nombreux. Renzo Piano, fait partie de ceux là. Italien, ce grand architecte, prix Nobel de l’architecture (prix Pritzker), vient de recevoir la meilleure note jamais attribuée par l'agence américaine de notation des constructions vertes, le Green Building Council, pour le musée de San Francisco inauguré cet été : Le bâtiment est couvert d'un toit en forme de collines ondulées végétalisées. Lieu de promenade, ce toit est aussi l'idéal pour renforcer l'isolation thermique naturelle par l'action des plantes et permet notamment en été de réduire l'usage à la climatisation. Enveloppé dans un gangue de cuivre rouge qui s'oxydera progressivement pour se confondre avec la végétation environnante, le bâtiment permet la récupération des eaux fluviales et l'amélioration de la qualité de l'air. De plus, le toit est équipé de plus 60.000 cellules photovoltaïques qui fournissent une autonomie énergétique du site. Plus étonnant, l'isolation est faite de jeans recyclés !

A Matter of Scale

For hundreds of millennia, humans connected tightly to the land and the life forms their survival depended upon, because that was how it had to be. Failure to connect was not an option; if you didn’t know how plants grew, how animals bred, how rivers ran, how the seasons and the weather changed, then you did not survive. In some parts of the world – the Native American tribal lands of West Coast USA, the dense forests of West Papua, the deep valleys and jagged mountains of northern India – these connections remain, and cling on despite the best efforts of those who seek to gain more from the land than “mere” survival. This connection has ebbed away from the majority of humanity, in many cases to the extent that people feel nothing for anything humans have not created themselves. But we cannot eat concrete; we cannot breathe television; we cannot drink money.

A Matter Of Scale is a free, online book which you can read here, or download to read whenever you like.

Green Design x Sustainable Dance Club

Going out in a trendy club and feel good because you contribute to positive environmental processes, such as generating electricity by dancing and upcycling of waste into decoration. This idea forms the basis for the Sustainable Dance Club. The Sustainable Dance Club is a creative concept of Rotterdam based organizations Enviu – innovators in sustainability and Döll – Atelier voor Bouwkunst.

The Sustainable Dance Club incorporates innovations in the field of sustainable design and applied techniques with social responsibilities in attractive club surroundings. No more counter culturists and moralizing attitudes but sustainability as a positive, young and profitable alternative for a broad target group. The Sustainable Dance Floor will generate electricity from the movements of dancing people. This human powered floor is now being developed in cooperation with the Technical University in Delft and will most likely be the projects’ piece de résistance.

Download leaflet of the Sustainable Dance Club

The Sustainable Dance Club combines contemporary lifestyle with the latest ideas on sustainability. Soon you can generate energy while dancing on the Sustainable Dance Floor and flush the toilet with rainwater. The color of the walls changes without any energy use as a reaction to the heat and you can drink an organic beer near the water basin on the ‘relax roof’. These are just a few examples of what the Sustainable Dance Club can entail. The Sustainable Dance Club is developed as a brand: with time you may find sustainable dance clubs all over the world!

What makes a dance club a sustainable dance club?
Just putting “sustainable” in front of “dance club” does not mean anything by itself, so what actually makes a club (more) sustainable?

* 30% less environmental impact than average clubs
* Sustainability integrated in both building and organisation
* Installation of 3 SDC spectaculars that show sustainability to the public (Sustainable Dance Floor/ Zero Waste Bar/ Waterwall etc)
* Communication plan on how to inform the public about sustainability
* Sustainable business plan with yearly targets and evaluation

The Dutch agency Enviu, working in collaboration with architects from Dutch company Döll, has been working on a design for an Sustainable Dance Club. This technology, now in use, will enable dance clubs to run at a very low environmental impact and with reduced carbon emissions. This is all possible thanks to a new technology which enables the floor itself to generate electricity through absorbing the energy expressed by the dancing bodies. It works through a system of tiny accumulators, similar to pressure sensors, which are embedded in the floor. The physical energy of a dancer is captured by these sensors and utilized to run the facilities of the club, such as the lighting and speakers. This is just one example in a growing trend of technologies and products which seek to harvest and reuse the energy produced by the human body. Other examples include clothes which, through integrated devices, harness the movement of the human body and translate it into useable electricity. There is also the novel concept of a toilet flushed with human sweat. Increasingly, we will be witness to technologies which function in many ways analogous to parasitic or symbiotic organisms in finding new ways to use our own anatomy.

Flying Saucer Designed for Greener Air Travel

Eco-conscious travelers buy off their global warming guilt with carbon offsets that promote wind farms and reforestation.

Meanwhile, aviation engineers are taking another route, designing a more environmentally sustainable airplane that may overturn long-held notions of flight engineering.




"I want to get rid of the image of a cylindrical body with wings," said Etnel Straatsma of Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands.

The plane of the future, in Straatsma's vision, might be as wild as a flying saucer. She and other engineers are toying with lighter materials and some are pondering ideas as radical as returning to propeller-driven planes as an eco-friendly alternative to passenger jets.

Straatsma heads the recently-formed CleanEra project, which aims to design an "ultra-eco-friendly plane" that releases 50 percent less carbon dioxide per passenger-mile than current airliners. The project's "greenliner"—depicted in design illustrations as a flying saucer—would also reduce other pollutants and noise, in line with recommendations from the European Aerospace Commission, ACARE.

The challenge is that modern airplanes are already close to maximally optimized, said Alexander de Haan, also from Delft but not involved with CleanEra. He has examined various design modifications and found that they could reduce carbon emissions and noise levels by, at most, 10 to 15 percent.

"These ideas cannot keep up with the 5 percent growth that the [airline] industry continues to have year after year," de Haan said.

Aviation accounts for about 2 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions, but what has many worried is how fast the industry is growing. By 2050, air travel could be 5 percent or more of the total warming affect, according to a 1999 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Although estimates vary, flying in a plane releases the equivalent of about 1 pound of carbon dioxide per mile per passenger, which is about the same as driving a car the same distance.

Constant retooling of aircraft has helped to decrease emissions per passenger by 2 to 2.5 percent per year, said Andreas Hardeman of the industry group International Air Transport Association. But he agreed that the current paradigm may have reached the "end of the line."

"Ever since the Boeing 707 first flew in 1957, airliners ... have changed very little in their basic appearance," Hardeman said. "However, because future improvements to the basic design are getting harder to make, economic and environmental pressures mean that the case for radical change is getting stronger."

Radical change could mean introducing novel materials and shapes, or even reviving "old" propulsion systems.

Personal jet packs

Qui voyage en fusée, voyage rusé...

FUTURISTIC jet packs could be sold to the masses as early as next year, with a company already taking orders for "personal flying machines".

Jet Pack International in the US is planning to release a $226,060 jet pack next year which could travel 16km without refuelling, the Fortune Small Business magazine reported.

Pre-orders for the T-73 Turbine Jet Pack were being taken by the company, who would also teach buyers how to fly them.

Watch a demo:


Company chief executive Troy Widgery told the magazine that the joy of flying should not just be experienced by stuntmen.

"We are developing a consumer model... our dream is to make this affordable to the average person," Mr Widgery said.
"Everyone wants things to evolve to the point of The Jetsons, and I think it could.
"I could see (consumers) flying from work to home, within a certain limit."
JPI engineer John Hewatt said the consumer model would be easier to fly than the stunt models.
"We've come up with the turbine version, which is more user friendly and safer to fly," Mr Hewatt said.

Perso, j'opte pour la nouvelle turbine et vous ?

Bon voyage (s) au pluriel ...

7 Brilliant Building Conversion Projects: Superb Examples of Architectural Adaptive Reuse

Immediate boarding ;o)

What could be better than an amazing house made out of an airplane? A cheap one. The plane itself cost just $2000, though moving it cost $4000 and renovating it for habitation took another $24000 - but that’s still just $30000 for a truly amazing and unique home. The original airplane fold-down stairs were kept and are operated by a garage door opener and one of the original airplane restrooms still works as it always did. And the cockpit suspended over the lake below? Her own personal jacuzzi of course.
