photo: slagheap via flickr If you’ve paid attention at all to the headlines today, you’ve undoubtedly noticed that during his latest trip to view the BP oil spill clean-up efforts President Obama likened the changes this disaster could have in energy policy to the way 9/11 changed US security policy. I’ve been sitting with this comment all day, wondering if it’s accurate or just evocative rhetoric. The thing is, transforming the way we use energy is even more complex than changi…Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo: Ford Do People Really Want Dedicated EV Models?

It’s interesting to note how different Ford’s electrification strategy is from most of the other auto makers who are making electric cars and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs). The majority seems to have learned from Toyota’s experience with the Prius and decided to make dedicated EV/PHEV models that don’t have gas-only versions: GM has the Volt, Fisker the Karma, Tesla the Roadster and Model S, Nissan the LEAF, etc. Ford’s is taking a different route….Read the full story on TreeHugger

Danish designer Annemette Beck takes a creative new approach to textile design by utilizing an extremely inventive array of recycled materials. Her line of woven products include rugs, upholstery, fabrics, runners, blinds and even room dividers made from materials such as rubber, paper and metal. Beck’s experimental textiles showcase materials that can be salvaged and re-used — we are especially fond of the woven recycled bicycle tire area rug pictured above.

Photo via Hannes Langeder Meet the world’s most eco-friendly Porsche, the Ferdinand GT3 RSX. Its sleek design is ideal for cutting through the air and, of course, attracting looks from envious passersby. Touted as the lightest Porsche ever created, the car does away with many of the superfluous features found in conventional vehicles–namely, the engine. Sure, it may not win any races on the track, but this pedal-powered Porsche…Read the full story on TreeHugger

Talk about a smart building! The new Tacoma Center for Urban Waters goes beyond clever design and construction techniques. The recently opened research center and environmental laboratory actually has the capacity to react to its environmental conditions and alter itself in order to minimize its energy use. With a laundry list of green building features, the City of Tacoma’s newest facility is aiming for LEED Platinum certification, plus it has the monitoring and measuring capabilities to keep it running at its greenest possible performance.

treatise will be better informed in advance, and able to select, among
the different kinds, those which will be of use in their works.
Therefore, since the preliminaries have been explained, the buildings
themselves will be treated in the remaining books; and first, as due
order requires, I shall in the next book write of the temples of the
immortal gods and their symmetrical proportions.

INTRODUCTION


1 The roof of the colonnade to be built at the top of the rows of
seats, should lie level with the top of the "scaena," for the reason
that the voice will then rise with equal power until it reaches the
highest rows of seats and the roof tunezja last minute warszawa agencja reklamowa A brick five palms square is called
"pentadoron"; one four palms square "tetradoron." Public buildings are
constructed of [Greek: pentadra], private of [Greek: tetradra].

are the feet of Cepheus, and at this point, at the very top, are stars
forming an equilateral triangle sklep motocyklowy Wrocław części motocyklowe In breadth they should be
not less than one third nor more than one half of their length, unless
the site is naturally such as to prevent this and to oblige an
alteration in these proportions The space in the middle, between the colonnades and open to the sky,
ought to be embellished with green things; for walking in the open air
is very healthy, particularly for the eyes, since the refined and
rarefied air that comes from green things, finding its way in because of
the physical exercise, gives a clean-cut image, and, by clearing away
the gross humours from the eyes, leaves the sight keen and the image
