It's kind of amazing how we can transfer energy to power something. Think of all the people dancing or in spinning class wasting all that energy. Don't you think America would be thinner if they had to ride a bike in order to watch their television?
We have an urge to build. Nature is treated as a side-order, becoming an attraction and a marketing tool. At one point we came from nature, now we package and sell what is left of it in holiday safari trips. Why do we disregard nature as a habitat for humans and immediately build? Why should nature be reduced to symbolism, poetics and abstraction...

Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth
The important concept mention in the Manual which we pay no attention to is 'synergy.' Coined by Fuller, synergy means we can not understand the whole by understanding it's parts.
Earth came with lots of room for error to allow for her ignorant inhabitants to evolve. As we've...
I've begun to do more extensive research on ways of detection. One obiouvse option would be working with an Arduino and would make a lot of sense because it integrates with processing.
Microsoft seems to be working on a similar project under the name Wasp which boasts integration of such things like GPS and image capture. This devise uses...
It was harder than I thought... there is NO convenient day to be blind, even in one eye. But I finally managed to put the eye patch on this morning.
A sense of our surrounding space, depth, distance, and perspective is very crucial to our sanity.

We are so close yet so far away. I just can not wait till we meet on your beautiful planet!
P.S. I hope that you have the fridges there or the right temperature at least to keep the beer cold!
If we would want a space colony of 100 people to represent the world’s population accurately, the demographics would look something like this:
The colony would have 60 Asians, 14 Africans, 12 Europeans, 8 Latin Americans, 5 from the USA and Canada, and 1 from the South Pacific
51 would be male, 49 would be female
82 would be...
As architects embrace the concept of complex systems and quantum territories, we slowly disintegrate into being absorbed into a no-thing zone, where traditional frameworks of its discipline become so irrelevant, everything and anything becomes legitimate to be called architecture. It is curious now, to think what it means to be "doing...
