Pressed for time…

August 15, 2009

To be honest, the greatest thing about this project is that the topic at hand could be researched and researched for months more. I want to say, for the time that we have had, i think that i have made the most of the blog… But before i sign off on it, I have to add a few things that i found in Map – The Eco issue for August.

Lush – Lounge, family wheel barrow i think no, but Industrial Designer Deger Cengiz has reinvented the wheelbarrow to accommodate an adults urge to be wheeled around their backyard and to create an alternative green space. The Chaise lawn is a live peice of furniture, a mobile planted and human transporter in one. Adds necessary green to many outdoor living areas and parties. For those who feel creative, you can plant flowers, herbs, and other plants on your chaise lawn.

Urban Tree Portraits

Emma Livingston – London based photographer, did a series called Urban Tree Portraits in Buenos Aires, positioning the tree as the main character in each photograph. She was intrigued by the tree’s place in the hierarchy of a modern city, and was startled by the size, build and posture/relationship between the tree and it’s surroundings. The parallels between the trees and humans also played a major role in the depiction of these tree vs. city scapes showing how they have been fated to grow or not, flourish or suffer, and ultimately die within an urban environment of concrete walls and pollution.
