Off the Grid;Sustainable Habitat 2020
Uncategorized
Oct 242009
Today, our habitat is very dependent on the international grid of energy &water. Energy crisis, clean water shortage, global warming and environmental pollution are worldwide problems. Understanding cities as dynamic and ever-evolving eco-systems can help us to formulate strategies for a sustainable urban future. This film is based on the the brief to develop sustainable housing for urban megalopolis in China in 2020. Check out www.design.philips.com/probes for more information…

Dear PhilipsDesign, nice video, well done, BUT! There is always a but, sorry! I do not who know who U R? but like 1,000s of others U suggest the obvious, what needs 2 B done. What I, we need is solutions! If U can only state the obvious, get in the Q take a ticket with the rest of us!
MORE BIG BROTHER
Great stuff!!
Most people are still too negative, even though knowing the obvious, they still subscribe to the old paradigms, and seem to keep waiting for politicians to do something about their lives… dream on!
Get off the grid, be self sustainable and you will have what you paid for. You are what you eat!
People only complain, but don’t realize that their choice contributes for the whole thing!..
what can you do about it?
Everything… start by seeing things in perspective and improve yourself… Know the problem well and you will find the solution you are looking for.
be the change you want to see in the world.
Why do you think it’s Big_Brother-ish?
No one would ague with that, @Templemain, but it’s also known that it’s better to make a small step in the right direction than walk a mile to the wrong one; this movie, and this project, are about direction setting, they question the direction we took, and suggest to think about an alternative one.
Eugenics,
look it up.
Dear centralasian, U asked me for a solution. While it’s not palatable to some the solution is simple. Genetically modify our selves over time to become smaller not bigger as has been the norm through out evolution. We no longer need to be big to defend ourselves, we have no natural enemies but our selves. If we could be just 30 centimeters high but with the same intelligence the Earth could support 50 times the number of humans we have now. We don’t need to be BIG! to survive.
