Hidden from the Army

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

Over 3000 years ago the Christian’s created a series of tunnels and caves to hide from the Roman Army.  These caves still exist today in the Cappadocia region of Turkey.  I can only imagine what these structures looks like from the inside.  Imagine living in an architecture that is so old and so much a part of the earth.

Manhattan’s Real Footprint

By those progressively thought provoking folks at MVRDV. Always pushing us in our abilities to conceptualize our human capabilities and impact.

Personally, I feel the lesson learned from this is that we need to drastically change the footprint of our food demand. A day is coming where there will be no more green bandaids available and people will actually have to change their individual lifestyles.

Great article on Fast Company comparing the speedy, negative backlash handling of Google’s Buzz vs others who immediately deny and avoid such as Toyota’s recall.
