The Architect’s Relationships - by SquareFoot

At this side of my bed
there is a sliver of space
where I can lay down
and rest my head

And yet, from that space
I think and I care;
for there emanates
thoughts clean and fair

they travel through rooms
into various buildings
up and down they zoom
building space relationships

my thoughts go full swing
on users’ lives; their spaces
never on drawings dwellings;
as I focus on their faces

I’d imagine them at their work:
oh, those lovers’ fleeting glances
hear them youths’ loud mirth
and other uses of spaces

I’d imagine my users activities
their comforts, their lives
I’d modulate the sceneries
I’d hear each every sigh

my mind’s eye will light
all through those spaces
I’ll forecast tears; slight;
as time walks her paces

the walls then appears
to give space final form
but never to overpower
nor state who I am or not

and on the handing over
filling my joyous cup
my work’s gentle to my users;
my child has now grown up

I’ll then pass on; silent lips,
my bed would lie empty
yet I will leave behind me
all my space relationships

crunch time!

It's portfolio time and the labs are full of stressed out people!

anti-smog buildings: clean air through architecture

http://gukurup.wordpress.com/2008/11/23/anti-smog-buildings-clean-air-through-architecture/
"A new type of architecture is gaining in popularity, thanks to visionaries such as architect Vincent Callebaut that blend design and technology to create a new definition for the term “green building”. Callebaut’s latest project uses green technologies and systems that are more than just examples of sustainable design; the structure actually improves the environment just by sitting there.
Callebaut’s prototype project, being built in Paris, is covered with 250 square meters of solar photovoltaic panels and coated in titanium dioxide (TiO2). The PV system produces electrical energy for the building, with the TiO2 coating working as a catalytic system to clean the air. The TiO2 works with ultraviolet radiation to interact with particulates in the air, break down organics and reduce airborn pollutants and contaminants.
The structure also has a large green space on top for further air purification and rainwater catchment for use within the building. The other part of the building, is a ‘wind tower’, a cylindrical structure that has a spiral pattern that alternates between vertical gardens and embedded vertical axis wind turbines, that generate electricity from prevailing winds."

This is amazing! architecture that can change the world!!
