World’s Largest Dead Zone Suffocating Sea
An explosion of microscopic algae called phytoplankton has inundated the Baltic’s sensitive waters, sucking up oxygen and choking aquatic life. Though a natural phenomenon at a smaller scale, these blooms have recently mushroomed at an alarming rate, fed by nutrients

From Figure to Field
Typology in architecture is a classification mostly based on physical characteristics commonly found in buildings and urban areas: density, formal geometry, solid-to-void ratio are parameters based on tangible features, traditionally represented by a black-and-white ground-floor plan of the city.

Our Legacy
If our society will leave any trace of post-industrial civilization a thousand years from now, it will not be any individual building or monument, or even a factory. Only the ruins of a few infrastructure projects will perhaps survive, thanks

The Divided City
I argue that the origin of today’s environmental crisis resides in the basic premise of the western city, as clearly illustrated by Lorenzetti’s painting “Effetti del Buon Governo”: a fundamental separation between places of consumption – located within the city

From centralized to distributed
Historically, energy production has been based on a centralized model, here large power plants produce hundreds of megawatts in a single location. New energy technologies – such as photovoltaic, solar thermal, geo-thermal and wind micro-turbines – bring the promise of

Beyond the urban/rural divide
Bio-intensive farming, garden sharing, grow bags, garden roofs, green facades, hothouses, hydroponics: the powerful revival of farming in urban areas takes many forms and is challenging, once again, the traditional distinction between the urban and the rural domain. The program

What are the FEWs?
Practices related to Food, Energy and Waste form an ecosystem of interconnected components and hybrid systems, as they do not strictly belong to a single category: for instance, many plant species, such as corn, sorghum, or sugarcane, can be used

U.N. Climate Panel Endorses Ceiling on Global Emissions
Top climate scientists on Friday embraced an upper limit on greenhouse gases while warning that it is likely to be exceeded within decades if efforts to curb emissions are not rapidly accelerated. Read the article…
