> This 22-story highrise provides offices for
> Gemeinnutzige Siedlungs und Wohnungsbaugesellschaft,
> one of the largest providers of social housing in
> Berlin. Two "intelligent" systems assist in providing
> comfort and energy efficiency in the building:
> ventilation and shading/ daylighting. Both systems
> operate automatically in response to climatic
> conditions, and both can be overridden by occupants.
>
> The 515,000-square-foot (47,873-square meter) building
> is naturally ventilated for 70 percent of the year, and
> ventilation in low wind conditions is induced by a
> thermal flue formed by a single-glazed skin 3.3 feet (1
> meter) from the inner double-glazed west facade.
>
> This double wall also protects against heat loss.
> Airflow into the base of the flue and out of the top is
> regulated by dampers controlled by the building
> management system, which also controls airflow from the
> building into the flue. ...

> Bucky Fuller History and Mystery
> by D.W. Jacobs
>
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2003/0813/news_1-1.html
>
> The visionary inventor R. Buckminster Fuller
> (1895-1983), who called himself a "comprehensive
> anticipatory design scientist," was respected in many
> disciplines. In architecture, he is perhaps best known
> for having invented the geodesic dome structure, as
> executed for example, in the U.S. Pavilion at Expo '67.
> Now, 20 years after his death, the legendary raconteur
> returns to life in a one-man show in San Francisco.
> "The History (and Mystery) of the Universe" was written
> by D.W. Jacobs, based on Fuller's own writings and
> lectures, and is performed by Ron Campbell. ...

> Caesarea, Israel is a city founded more than 2,000
> years ago by Herod the Great, who dedicated it to
> Caesar Augustus. Many of Herod's structures are well
> preserved ~ the palace, aqueduct, hippodrome, and the
> amphitheater, which is a modern venue for concerts and
> plays, valued for its superb acoustics. One of Caesarea's
> newest additions is a charming kindergarten that has
> just finished a successful first term....
