that was used in her famous photo shoot."

He says his portraits take at least 50 hours, but many take much, much longer -

Lady Gaga took him almost two months and hundreds of hours.

Trends Ten: 10 astounding green structures stretching out into the blues!

2011-08-04T07:57:00.000+08:00

By Neo

Green Architecture is the direction towards which every architect and designer is heading and it is no surprise that many of the modern cities of the world are now becoming sandboxes for these green architects to experiment and express themselves. Eco-friendly construction is reaching new heights that are in fact becoming structures far more attractive and ergonomic compared to the traditional form of construction. Here is a collection of 10 such skyscrapers that r\are defying convention and defining green norms. From the marvelous to the incredulous, from the crazy to the sensational; they sport it all…
1. MAD Green Creation with Webstar:

MAD is a design firm that often lives up to its acronym and there creations are often perceived as green architecture that is a touch eccentric. But the design of Webstar is really a revolutionary concept for future green cities. This giant floating star can camp above any city in the world and can house a perfect green city of 15,000 people. With its own ability to produce power, utilize resources by recycling them and even a digital cemetery, the Webstar seems too good and green to be real. Simple sensational indeed!

2. Rotating Wind Towers of Dubai:

By now everyone in the world and even beyond knows about the spectacular wind-powered rotating skyscraper designed by Dr. David Fisher. The structure twirls around and uses wind and solar energy to produce power that is sufficient to power another 5 skyscrapers along with power to supports its own residents' energy needs. This is almost like a giant swiveling structure on a beam at center. To say that this is amazing would be an understatement.

3. Sky Village by MVRDV Architects:

This new and unique structure is a model that can be considered as a blueprint for many eco-structures in the future. Created to perfection by MVRDV Architects, it takes the shape of many blocks called 'pixels' being put together like green hubs. The best part of the design is that the building can expand strategically without occupying too much space at the base. Green parks put up in the sky, a concept that could do great for every edifice in future.

4. Precinct 4 by Putrajaya Waterfront:

The Precinct 4 Project by Putrajaya Waterfront in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, is more like a city of delightful eco-friendly structures that stand like beacons of green architecture and amazing design. The design is special with green features like terraces, sunshades, natural ventilation and integrated green space and amazing architectural splendor inspired by marine life.

5. Fog Tower:

There is no green structure that in sheer concepts stands singularly alone as this Fog Tower does on the edge of the Atacama Desert. While just a concept for now, this gigantic tower in pristine while aims to harvest land that is barren in the desert by tapping into the fog on the land. The giant screw design progressively collects and condenses fog into water and supplies it down for irrigation. Alberto Fernandez and Susana Ortega have designed a magical white-green tower!

6. Fusionopolis:

Fusionopolis will be Singapore's most eco-friendly building, what makes it so green is a vertical spine of planting that rises up through the 15-storey building. The building overcomes with its design the challenges that come with growing a fabulous green landscape at that level along with water and irrigation issues. The structure that is to take shape in Singapore will add a new green tinge to the already fabulous skyline of the city.

7. Sinosteel International Plaza:

Once again a project that is designed by MAD Architects, the Sinosteel International Plaza is a project that is far more real, yet as green as the Webstar created by the same designers. The design is modern, eccentric and still green with ample ventilation and sustainable features that are integrated fashionably into the design and form. Construction is underway in Tinajin, China and its impeccable design makes sure that there is no extra energy wasted on insulation.

8. Carbon Neutral Pyramid of Dubai:

A merger in architecture of Ancient Egyptian pyramids and Middle Eastern ziggurats along with modern green features makes these Carbon Neutral Pyramids that are to take shape in Dubai, one of the best green structures in the world. The pyramid shaped structures run on solar power and are completely carbon neutral. They can sustain an entire community of a million people in them and all with nothing but green energy! If the prototype works, then they could well be the cities of the future.

9. Bahrain World Trade Center with Integrated Turbines:

Being the world's first skyscraper to go for integrated wind turbines, the Bahrain World Trade Center makes on to the list for being the pioneer in green technology and energy. The integrated giant turbines are expected to generate 11 to 15 percent of the whole structure's power. The three 29m-diameter turbine blades on Bahrain's iconic landmark are expected to operate approximately 50% of the time. One must never forget the roots of the revolution and for green architecture, this was a big beginning.

10. Municipal Pool Cover Soto del Real in Madrid:

This giant Carbon Neutral green-structure was built in the heart of Madrid to give a sustainable ecosystem to the growing urban community. Designed by Lorenzo Alonso Architects, this green facility is filled with plants and acts as a community center as it purifies air and provides meeting space.
Green architecture is about the judicious blend of form with function and hopefully we have done the same with our list of ten. Every one has a different favorite, but irrespective of personal tastes, each and every one of the buildings in this list and many more that silently spread the green wave and eco-friendly revolution go a long way in making our planet a better place both for us and the future generations!

近十年來，災難片、驚悚片當頭，幾乎只要牽涉到一些地球環境危機或天災時，往往就會影起廣大話題，的確，地球暖化、氣候變遷、天災人禍這些視覺上的畫面大家已經看得夠多了，但當真正的日本福島海嘯與核災出現時，頓時間，唯一能描繪這些真實悲慘畫面的音樂，大概也只有電台司令樂團這張間隔三年多的新作可以相比擬了。

正如標題《肢解樹王》某種程度上表明，這是一張充滿陰鬱、闠色與荒蕪的作品，全張八首歌全都以真實樂器錄製成的音響迴圈搭配帶有緊張、暗潮撞擊與單音重複式的節奏襯於背景之中，而主唱Thom Yorke他個人獨特的假音唱腔，儘管這次聽來溫和，但吟唱之間卻更是顯得空虛，就如同走在已經被宣布活人禁區的城市廢墟荒地上，而Yorke的嗓音在〈Lotus Flower〉則聽來反像是一種喟嘆與情緒的顫抖，〈Feral〉碎切的拍子與扭曲的反覆聲響，都在在傳達了他們想要告訴世人，這世界其實真的已經一步步，〈Little by Little〉邁向毀滅的命運，反而最後三首歌曲轉而變成帶有某種舒緩而平靜的酸式民謠曲風，對於前面所有的瓦解和情緒激動，在專輯的結尾沒有聳動地出現一聲巨響或嗚咽，而是輕輕的如微風一般吹拂的低吟，如情歌，如搖籃曲，抑或如是永劫難逃的詛咒，好似Thom Yorke他們發現了某種邪惡之間的空間和美麗，進而讓這張專輯綻開成了一朵彷彿專為福島悲劇而寫的奇異之花。
