COOL: Kinetic Floor Generates Energy From People Dancing
May 6, 2013 By
Around the world, engineers and architects are rethinking the current design of architectural and environmental infrastructure, in favor of regenerative systems that are capable of harnessing wasted energy and resources and redistributing them where needed.
A company in Rotterdam in the Netherlands has created a modular dance floor system that collects kinetic energy from dancers’ movements and converts it into electricity. Each individual tile from the Energy Floors has a small generator that collects and stores the energy, transforming it into electricity that can be used to power nearby systems or the LED lights located on the dance floor. The Sustainable Dance Floor tiles are available for rent or sale, and the Temple Night Club in San Francisco currently has had them permanently installed. According to the team at Energy Floors, dancing on the Sustainable Dance floor has generated a rough estimate of over 8 billion Joules.

Housing Corporation VANKE recently asked NL Architects to make a proposal for a Super Market as part of a big resort in Sanya, the southernmost city in China. Renowned for its tropical climate and for being a popular tourist destination, the site of the resort will consist of three clusters of large residential slabs of 21 stories high enveloping semi enclosed gardens. The public space plays a crucial role in the atmosphere of the area as a whole so a lot of consideration is going into creating a pleasant environment. Learn more Here

Virgin launches glass-bottomed plane
April 4, 2013 By
From Richard Branson
I’m thrilled to announce that Virgin has created another world-first with the introduction of the technology required to produce the world’s first glass-bottomed plane. This technological innovation coincides with the start of Virgin Atlantic Airways’ first ever domestic service to Scotland.
In 1984 we started the wonderful airline that is Virgin Atlantic. I am incredibly proud of yet another aviation breakthrough which has been years in the making. I can’t wait to experience the first flight for myself with my family and other natural born explorers. READ MORE
Creating music with tree leaves
April 3, 2013 By
With his “Duet for Leaves & Turntable“, Diego Stocco has experienced the use of tree leaves to produce sounds and then music. Using a turntable to rub leaves of different kinds, the Italian artist was able to generate music based on sound sentences. “I noticed the equally spaced ridges on the plate and got an idea for something else. For about an hour I recorded short musical phrases by rubbing leaves against the turntable (the type of leaf, angle, pressure and fold determined the sound), then I combined the different takes together…Dope.

The Mysterious Tree Spirits
March 28, 2013 By
Tree spirits have quite a history to rely on, and the work of sculptor Keith Jennings gives them a face suitable for the legend. Jennings began his project way back in 1982 with a tree in his backyard. Soon, commissions for the Tree Spirits came his way and he showed his sculpting skills on trees in St. Simons Island. The imaginative carvings on trees show a face that could be treated and evoke the feelings of the ancient spirits of these trees. Quite an enchanting premise, and executed brilliantly.
