- About me
- Welcome to my evolving page. Over the coming weeks I am hoping to expand the text, photos, ideas, dialogue and philosophy that will fill the page. I look forward to welcoming new friends and to finding out more about each of you. That is why I have titled the page "soul connections"!
So we are now in the OX year....
As the year has progressed, it appears to have produce more desperation and unrest among the inhabitants. Urban tensions and aggression are evident on a daily basis as those souls most disturbed by the "Quickening" effect take drastic action.
It is my belief that it is important that "we" all connect with each other with uplifting energy so that "we" increase the reservoir of positive energy on the Planet. In raising our own spirit and encouraging each other to do the same "we" will undoubtedly affect those who are lost and spiralling out of control. This I call "Inner Architecture" - the building of subconscious foundations on which each of our lives will blossom.
This then is my version of "Architecture for Humanity"

About
Treehugger Design~Architecture

Maybe it will catch on. Maybe it won't. We'll see.that is how Malcolm Wells described his earth-sheltered buildings, which didn't quite catch on as big as they should have, even though they made so much sense. He called it "gentle architecture" that would "leave the land no worse than you found it."... Read the full story on TreeHugger
Flu Vaccine Derived From Army Worm Cells Instead Of Whole Chicken Eggs

Most people probably don't realize how flu vaccines are made - by injecting live flu virus into living chicken eggs, incubating the virus-infected eggs, etc. That 50-year old vaccine making process poses a potential risk to employees working with live virus, and also may offend animal rights activists. (Do PETA members accept flu vaccines; just wondering?) Could also be off-putting to persons for whom a very strict vegetarian diet is part of their religious practice. 'Who cares as long as I can get my seas... Read the full story on TreeHugger Is Ronald McDonald Becoming a Tree Hugger?

In Germany, perhaps. According to Spiegel.com, Deutschland Mickey D's plans to undergo a total image overhaul for 2010. This is all in an attempt to cater to the German public where many view the fast food joints as more fat- and litter-friendly than healthy, eco-friendly.
But will McDonald's new, Germanic design sensibilities demonstrate a true commitment to the environment or p... Read the full story on TreeHugger we can do

If you have time, I would very much welcome your know-how and views on our Architecture for Humanity New Delhi project, a rather special school in Niamey (there will be more on the blog about the project in a week or so!)
Above, a plan to give you an idea of what we’re working with at the moment (the existing facilities). They want to more than double the size of their school hopefully make it the first school in the area that doesn’t resemble some sort of military bunker.
