Prefab Takes Manhattan

Sarah Kuck

For the last 20 years, home builders, designers and dwellers have watched the construction of manufactured, or prefabricated, homes change from quick, basic and temporary to ultra-hip, eco-friendly and sustainable. Taking a multifaceted look at this progression is a the New York Museum of Modern Art's latest exhibit “Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling," which will showcase the historic and modern elements of the prefab housing evolution. Opening on July 20, the exhibit will...

The Designers Accord Makes a Statement

Sarah Kuck

Designers are uniquely positioned to save the world. Or so believes Valarie Casey , who commented during her recent Compostmodern presentation that Designers change habits and behavior. They create accessibility. They look to nature for inspiration. And they're suckers for detail. As a call to arms for designers to reduce their trades’ negative impact, Casey founded The Designers Accord. Since January, she has been assembling a coalition of designers, educators, researchers,...

FreeAire and Free Lunches

Alex Steffen

Clark, in his post today about heat pumps and hot water, wondered aloud about other energy-saving techniques: Why doesn't my fridge connect to the outside world? In wintertime, there's plenty of cold air for free, just outside my window. In summertime, the hot air from the fridge's air pump gets recirculated into my already-overheated house. Seems like a problem looking for a solution. Any takers? This, in turn, reminded me of the Freeaire Refrigeration System, which as Blaine wrote,...

Bright Green Metal

Alex Steffen

I'd love some help thinking something through. Jer's December post Your Stuff: If It Isn't Grown, It Must Be Mined really got me thinking about metals, mining and sustainability (it's an absolutely classic Worldchanging post, if you haven't already read it). I've been contemplating some of the implications. Industrial activity emits a bit more than 18% of all the CO2 we spew out each year. About 56% of that pollution, globally, is from metal production. What can be done to lower that...

Gorgeous CFLs ISO Manufacturer

Emily Gertz

For all the low-energy-use virtues of compact florescent lightbulbs (CFLs), few of them match the streamlined elegance of the classic Edison lightbulb. And yes, this makes a difference -- not only to getting people to make the switch (ha!) to CFLs, but because there's just no reason they need to be ugly. Enter design company Hulger with its' "Plumen" line of gorgeous, sculptural CFL designs. Currently they're prototypes; Hulger is seeking a manufacturer. After the jump: images of the...

Discuss: Where to Study Sustainable Engineering, Design

Emily Gertz

With last week's topic on where to study sustainable business still attracting great comments and new information, I thought we'd broaden the conversation to talk about where to study sustainable engineering and design. Anecdotally, I hear that it's still pretty hard to find engineering programs that are reorienting to include work in biomimicry, say, or cradle-to-cradle design, but hopefully you all know more... discuss!

Parsons School Launches Sustainable Design Review

Emily Gertz

Parsons, the design school of The New School university in New York City, recently held its first Sustainable Design Review -- and it looks like it attracted some really fun, thoughful, and future-forward ideas. Organized, according to the school, "by a team of Parsons students to promote awareness of sustainability by showcasing the work of students from across the disciplines at The New School, from the liberals arts to business and management to the social sciences..." “The Sustainable...

Begging for a case mod: Lenovo's green computer

Emily Gertz

Lenovo -- the company that bought out IBM's Thinkpad business -- has come out with a green machine: the $400 ThinkCentre A61e. As EcoGeek notes, The ThinkCentre A61e will be the first Lenovo machine to acheive the coveted EPEAT Gold status for using few hazardous materials, being easy to recycle, and consuming very little power. Lenovo is also offering an optional solar panel along with the purchase of the thing. While it's cooler than Dell's optional carbon offset program, adoption rates...

Recycled Paper Fashion?

Emily Gertz

Eco-chick alerts us to The Afterlife, an AIGA San Francisco effort that invites green artists, fashion designers, and graphic designers to contributed recycled paper fashions for a show and auction at the group's fall gala: Help rescue paper from recycling limbo with a benefit auction of post-consumer paper apparel and objects d’art by some of the Bay Area’s great designers. We’ll also have a runway show, a DJ and lots of giveaways from our industry sponsors. Don’t miss it. And...

Core77's One Hour Design Challenge

Jeremy Faludi

What can you design in an hour to save water in the bathroom? Whatever it is, submit it to Core77's One Hour Design Challenge. It's a departure from the normal design contest format, where you take a "serious" project you've put days or weeks of thought and effort into, and you spend a good chunk of change just to submit your entry. Here the design brief is more casual--just spend an hour, and send it in free. The other big difference is that the submission process is basically posting...
