Geoship installed its first bio-ceramic geodesic dome to create long-lasting, zero-carbon, fireproof and biologically resonant architecture. The idea is to create more than a new home design, but a new way of creating communities to build homes. Geoship mixes a type of ceramic crystals and forms them into triangular moulds. The panels are installed on a network of struts that support the dome structure, almost like the interior structure of a mushroom cap. The end product is recyclable, mould-proof, fire-proof and flood-proof. The domes are also hurricane, earthquake and insect resistant. It even comes in cool colours.

This artwork by Filipino artist Leeroy represents a flotilla of boats. They float above viewers and speak to the nature of the Philippines as a country made up of many islands, in which water has a central place in everyday life. Made from water containers, PET bottles, twine, bicycle wheel frames, ribbons, other found objects and Commissioned by the Biennale of Sydney with assistance from Mirvac and Parramatta Artists’ Studios. These fantastical forms could refer to the main type of transportation employed by people throughout the region for thousands of years. https://www.biennaleofsydney.art/participants/leeroy-new/

“This unique residential complex includes two buildings designed as
vertical forests. The firm Stefano Boeri Architetti China, has completed
construction of its first vertical forest complex, in Huanggang, Hubei
province, China. The complex covers an area of 4.54 hectares and includes five
towers, two of which were designed as a vertical forest. The towers combine
open and closed balconies planted with 404 trees, 4,620 shrubs, and 2,408
square metres of perennial grass, flowers, and climbing plants. Sustainability
and the need to reduce global warming have become part of the vernacular of this
architecture” Seen in Springwise.com.
