| ARIBRA MARCH 9, 2010 Habitat for Humanity Embraces Density, Makes History The Atlantic Avenue project may represent a new direction for Habitat. From NY Times | Making History In a Brooklyn Neighborhood When Habitat for Humanity New York City consulted an architecture firm on its new site in the Ocean Hill section of Brownsville, Brooklyn , it received a response that switched on a light bulb. The result, nearly three years and one entirely new development model later, is the largest creation in Habitat’s history, an $11.6 And the city’s branch of Habitat just learned last week that it will receive about $10.5 | HTRC DECEMBER 26, 2010  Safety Sunday: Ahhh, bye-bye Christmas From DC up to New York, & even here in Alabama many contractors and others found out that a dry heat can quite simply kick. For many that means plenty of hiking, kayaking, cycling, tubing down the river, going to the beach, visiting new places, and lots of travel.

The New York Times today had an article discussing the most recent generous donation to the park's fundraising efforts to finish what is perhaps an elegant statement about the challenges and successes of public and private partnerships when done right. | GREEN GODDESS JULY 13, 2011  Land of the Pharaohs. The last few weeks the New York Times is "reviewing" current Architecture in the Chinese provinces. Well given Asia's immense growth in wealth the past decade I assume their own Oligarchs will establish new centers of business and opportunity in a nation still finding a blend of what it means to be both Capitalist and Communist in nature. First was the Vanke Center. | | | | | | | |

GREEN GODDESS | MONDAY, APRIL 11, 2011  Down the Up Staircase
New Boards and new Municipalities and new Government plans that change every few years also add to the mix. Imagine,” said a public school teacher in New York City, who asked that I not use his name, “going to work each day knowing a great deal of what you are doing is fraudulent, knowing in no way are you preparing your students for life in an ever more brutal world, knowing that if you don’t continue along your scripted test prep course and indeed get better at it you will be out of a job. left Education years ago for many reasons. And its why I left. MORE >> -
GREEN GODDESS | THURSDAY, JULY 9, 2009 Stimulate This!!!
Today the New York Times found that this is just the case with many projects going unfunded and others simply not making any sense in relation to dollars and jobs in many states. Not shocking given our Mayor's disengagement from the larger picture outside the City of Seattle. Cities have been relying on property taxes booming during the last few years but with declining values, foreclosures and people simply losing work or wages who will request re-evaluation of their property assessments. said his city “did pretty terrible” when it came to getting money.

GREEN GODDESS | MONDAY, AUGUST 31, 2009 Another LEED Building Bites the Dust
Another was its design: to get its LEED label, it racked up points for things like native landscaping rather than structural energy-saving features, according to a study by the General Services Administration, which owns the building. The council’s own research suggests that a quarter of the new buildings that have been certified do not save as much energy as their designs predicted and that most do not track energy consumption once in use.

GREEN GODDESS | WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2009 Green Walls the new "green"
I read this article today and thought "oh here we go the newest trend, green walls are the new black" (using that eponymous fashion term semingly appropriate). Like Green Roofs I like them aesthetically and principally in Cities and Urban areas where anything green is at a premium. And given our state of Education no wonder change is the new socialism. So enjoy this year's new black in the green fashioned world. Next week I am sure something new will come along. Buildings can be attractive, practical and efficient.
