Clip on Plant Rooms, Outdoor Apartment Alternatives, & Earthquakes

Monday, March 21, 2011
So one long day, the first day of spring in fact, stuck in Starbucks, while it snowed, led to this.



An environmental concept designed ot add a little extra leg room to the average apartment and promote sun, gardening, and eco-friendly living; complete with worm farm and a rainwater tank. A fantastic idea if you use it for a garden, or even an extra office space. I love it, although I do question the cost benefit & installation process. I can't wait to see it once their done their prototypes! ARTICLE HERE

That however, shortly led to this.


Which I cannot imagine 20 stories up, let alone 4 or 5.
and into more extremes like this.



Fresh air is always important for children but I question parents who would consider going to this extreme lol.

As a side note that I did find somewhat interesting, the recent chilean earthquake that happened on February 27th actually pushed the earths axis by 3 degrees due to its positioning away from the equator, shortening our day length by 1.26 milliseconds. Not a big variation by anymeans, but still an interesting factor to consider in our perception of space and how things that happen on earth can affect it as a whole.

  1. That's a really interesting design concept - a little strange though :P
