In Expo Zaragoza 2008, this pavilion designed by Spanish architect Patxi Mangado is identified as one of the most bioclimatic. I´m days away from visiting the exhibition and I have my camera charged and ready :0)

Wonderfully presented video about the environmental issues we are faced with now. This video really puts "stuff" into perspective.

Making your home from a shipping container? An important part of design is the awareness of available resources and knowing how to use them in the elegant solution of design challenges. Feliz Año Nuevo!!

This Monday the Jamaican voting population decided to break the long standing governance of the PNP. I´ve always admired the perspective that Bruce Golding has regarding national issues and he has inspired a level of trust (or confidence) that is not commonly given to political figures. As naive as my hope may be... I expect that the two parties will work together and that important fundamental

It´s difficult to design for climate when we don´t have a clear idea of the pattern and relationship of the parameters that define our thermal comfort. Where do we start... how do we move forward. These data logger could be the starting point.

In principle, a fuel cell operates like a battery. Unlike a battery, a fuel cell does not run down or require recharging. It will produce energy in the form of electricity and heat as long as fuel is supplied.A fuel cell consists of two electrodes sandwiched around an electrolyte. Oxygen passes over one electrode and hydrogen over the other, generating electricity, water and heat.Hydrogen fuel is

My last night in Vinaroz.... in the streets with hundreds of football fans celebrating Barcelona´s victory in the UEFA cup finals.... I have never seen people so happy.... so proud.... so crazy!! I was the only black girl in the street. But guess what.... the equalizing goal was scored by a black man.... Samuel Etoo. Poor Ronaldinho was so well marked in this game.... brilliant goal by Bellette

Louis I. Kahn's gentle masterpieceSome 31 years after his death, Louis I. Kahn still holds our fascination. The recent documentary film about him, My Architect, was a great success, and his work continues to net awards. The Yale Center for British Art, Kahn's last major commission, begun in 1973 and finished by the architects Pellecchia and Meyers in 1977, is this year's AIA 25 Year Award winner

Black Like Whom?I believe that the piece - "black like me" - is highly symptomatic of the exclusion of questions of race from architectural discourse. More than two decades ago, discussions on race deeply affected and transformed many disciplines--history, visual art, film, and sociology to name a few--but these debates and vocabularies never quite penetrated the collective architectural psyche.

I found this interesting.... a competition whose theme involves the definition of space without walls.... using temperature, wind, texture, or whatever else your imagination can come up with. The theme is easily understood if we consider the work of the architect who is hosting and judging this competition, Kenga Kuma.

My boyfriend found this chapel and restaurant on the highway from Vinaroz to Zaragoza quite by accident. He share it with me recently and it really is a lovely place. The built structure almost grows out of what seems to have been existing caves.

The consumer culture in Colima, Mexico involves the use of plastic bags to package everything. Going to the market to by food for one person for one week can easily end up in adding 15 plastic bags to the pile that is already at home. So far there isn't a wide scale plastic recycling programme in place in this city and most people are not conscious of the large about of plastic that each of us
