Reporting on Sustainably Built Environments from Bricks to Cities
Recycling and reusing commonly found goods that would otherwise be added to our growing waste facilities are the very fundamental concepts of green architecture. But what I find truly inspiring is when those products are maintained as their original self yet used in a new, eye-opening way. An artist that has a signature style which demonstrates this very concept is Choi Jeong Hwa.
Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering (IAO) in Stuttgart, Germany have developed a moving luminous ceiling that has office workers gazing at moving clouds without ever leaving their desks. IAO researchers teamed up with LEiDs GmbH, an LED technology company, to make sure their ceiling simulates natural light conditions on a partially-cloudy day as accurately as possible.
