The residential project Annex to the Mairiporã Cottage took a year to be built with architectural design by partners Carlos Duarte and Juliana Nogueira - Macro Arquitetos, in Mairiporã, a town near São Paulo, Brasil.

The last Frank Lloyd Wright house to be built was constructed on Petra Island in Lake Mahopac, NY. Finsihed in 2009 the house took 4 years to build. Originally designed in the 1950 for the previous owners of the island, it was not constructed at the time the drawings were commissioned. The island's new owners (the Massaro family) got permission from the Wright institute to use the plans and finally build the house that was designed specifically for the spot on which it now stands. the house was informally dubbed "the whale" in honor of the massive rock formation (which looks like a whale) on which the house is perched.

There seems to be some misconceptions about underground homes. Some people instantly think of dark, dingy places akin to some kind of emergency shelter. Others immediately think of the cozy Hobbit holes in the Tolkien books and films. Underground or earth-sheltered houses are really no different than any other home except that they are built ...

In Copenhagen, Denmark lies Amager Bakke, a unique power plant. Not only is it the world's cleanest waste-to-energy facility, it's also home to a man-made mountain called CopenHill with its own ski slope, the world's tallest climbing wall and challenging hiking trails up the building where you'll find the best views of Copenhagen. Opened in October 2019, the building was designed Bjarke Ingels Group (aka BIG) with an aim to create a building that can "contribute positively to the city, become part of the city, and even to be a landmark of the capital". The plant serves 680,000 people and takes waste from up to 300 lorries each day. Its steam turbine produces 63MWh of energy, while its heat exchangers are used in a district heating system.

Even though I don't really need to do much more research, I seem to be addicted to downloading books from Internet Archive. I really am a research junky. I guess I may as well put all this research energy to good use by sharing some of the good stuff I've found. Because I'm putting lots of pictures in this post, I'm going to insert a page break so it won't bog down folks loading the main page. If you want to see all of the pictures, you'll have to open the post.
