new architectural materials

an architect friend sent me this link to a lecture by Blaine Brownwell .

the lecture is really great - he talks about new materials for buildings [like windows that actually house solar panels with in them instead of having to place panels as an add on]. and then goes through a litany of recycled, re-purposed products [a cool lamp out of drinking straws]. it's really cool.

watch the video

Hey Lisa-- I just bookmarked your blog, it's been some good reading. Speaking of cool environmental things, have you seen this Hybrid Safari vehicle? Kind of a neat twist on eco-tourism.

Sounds great... I am off to delve deeper. Re-purposed products (and more) here I come.

Thanks for the link, Lisa.
