Ecotecture | Helical Geometry: A foundation for Nature-based Architecture--something to build for the little master?
v-2 Organisation | news | Junk architecture refers to a BAR fancy hotel similar to Common Ground Community and paraSITE inflatables very similar to an office the Ant Farm designed for the Toph around 1970, an inflatable room within a cold porch in back of a church being borrowed as a non-profit arts organization. It depended on reducing draft for climate control, and was a bit inconvenient to open--turn on fan--, walk around (because it filled the room), and get in and out of. The evolution of the inflatable as a heated room with walls inflating, rather than a single space inflating, and filled with whatever warm waste air comes from a building is impressive.
