Complaints Of Cat Food

Cree is here!


Everybody is talking about sustainability. One could argue that this issue sometimes takes the upper hand - at least when you get served at social events sustainable finger food. Here, the issue far too seriously and far too important for them to qualify in this way .


sustainability is not esoteric. Sustainability is not a seal of approval for enterprises to generate more revenue. Sustainability can still be supported by every single human being and perhaps even lived, but in addition to the awareness of the appropriate use of resources is particularly great for Ideas. By individuals conceived and for all. One of these ideas is Cree.


than half of the current world population lives in cities, with more than one million inhabitants. The necessary food and housing in those cities provides the construction industry. However, the same recorded most of the CO2 emissions and resource consumption of our planet for themselves. Even if you only marginally with the issues that move our busy world, is the face of a normal message blocks quickly becomes clear that the current situation of the earth and our climate requires a rethink.


What can a Builders do this? For example, think long term and sustainable action. Cree does so with one, at first glance perhaps unusual concept: namely wood as building material in the city get. And use of high-rises. The Tower of LifeCycle Cree is a "green building" in the best sense. Because it consists largely of the highly renewable resource, wood. Through its system design, it can be 20 storeys high built up to 100 meters. And still meets all relevant requirements, which are imposed on a skyscraper in the city, especially in the areas of sustainability, acoustics and fire protection. A plus energy-wood hybrid high-rise, which produces more energy than it consumes: one summarizes the attributes of a LifeCycle Towers, this idea sounds like a beautiful vision. In fact, it is much more than that in the spring of 2011, the first prototype in Dornbirn, Vorarlberg Cree built.


So much for now with us and our work. Even more to be discovered about creebyrhomberg.com . And what next? At this point we wish to report regularly from now on our activities by Cree. We will examine the individual steps, if the prototype is built of LifeCycle Towers. Show what it is about the team of Cree new. Additionally, we intend to take up issues not always related to must have to do architecture - but are part of our Earth from a conscious, sustainable use of resources. Because that eventually affects us all.


We look forward to your interest. Just like on your mail, your suggestions, praise or criticism.

Pressure Point On The Ankle That Can Start Period

Welcome to the city of the future.


question is only whether you would like to really live. Smog is the breathing difficult, crowded streets and squares, and daily traffic chaos in the subway have you get hold of a few weeks ago the last time a seat could n. The city park less accessible and even if you Middle stand, you hear the sounds of the nearby main road n.


You might just make friends with the idea of looking to a nice residential opportunity in the country. Or you are already living in a city like Berlin and the just described scenario is not new to you. Then are you the way as the larger half of all people on Earth. And the trend is rising: Forecasts indicate that there is already live in 2050, three quarters of the world's population in cities. The cities no longer hot, but Mega Cities. Is it all bad? Do you have to come to terms with the disadvantages, if the urban life, loves and can not do without the cultural offer and the vibrant atmosphere of a metropolis like? Maybe not - at least not if the visions of some people in shaping the future (and especially better place to live) are megacities reality.


A first example of how to escape with modern technology and good ideas to the gridlock occurs, especially in the United Arab Emirates. In 2008, there started the construction of a city that was designed by architects Foster + Partners: Masdar. From 2016 to live there already about 50 000 people - in a city whose streets to pedestrians and cyclists only will be on display. Nevertheless, there are many opportunities to achieve goals quickly, with an elevated railway that connects Abu Dhabi with Masdar. Or Personal Rapid Transit system (PRT). To 33 km railway length to electric cab taxis, called "pods" combine the planned 83 stations with each other. In this level, the city will also continue for a local train. Masdar itself in this way completely to car-free zone where you can reach but can be quickly and easily to any destination - no exhaust fumes.

Fresh from the heart of the city.


Sounds simple, but is actually a problem: the supply of the inhabitants of large cities with fresh foods in the future is anything but easy. That being said, will be spent for the transportation needs much energy. The solution sounds simple but also how the problem: when it comes to Lee Sing Kong from the Technical University of Singapore to come, future food from the heart of the city. The professor has developed a method of house roofs can be used for lettuce cultivation. The team of architects Llewelyn Davies Yeang even goes a step further: its "City farms" will grow to skyscraper-high food, serve as a recreation room and also improve the microclimate of the city.


living with energy.


course for the city of the future, especially the urban planners and architects are in demand. Already dominate up to 500 meters high skyscraper, the image of world cities - but the trend to high buildings applies only to the accommodation of the people. Equally important are but aspects such as the heating demand and the associated energy of wear. In order to avoid because of high energy prices, a global housing crisis, experts see the move to alternative energy and passive house designs as necessary.



The architect David Fisher reinterpreted in his draft of the "Dynamic Towers" energy once. The individual floors rotate the currently emerging in Dubai towers around its own axis and thus change the shape of the building continuously. From wind turbines and photovoltaic systems cover the Dynamic Towers their demand for electricity and heat completely self-sufficient and can even give surplus electricity to neighboring buildings.


visionary concepts for the cities of tomorrow - maybe the future will indeed quite different from what we imagine them today. And much better.
