轉載：A Floating Ecopolis for Ecological Refugees

在人類面臨全球暖化、兩極冰地融化崩解、二氧化碳過渡製造危機中，
Vincent Callebaut建築師提出了一個漂浮移動的概念。

在海洋建構一個『仿生都市』，
透過模仿『亞瑪遜河巨型水百合』構造原理，達到漂浮水面的效果。
（倫敦水晶玻璃宮也提出類似概念於外殼 → 仿生建築論文 P14亦提到此論述）





It's common knowledge that the planet is warming, ice caps are melting, and water levels are rising. The international scientific community predicts that a temperature elevation of 1°C will lead to a water rise of 1 meter, resulting in massive land loss and the displacement of millions of people world wide. Vincent Callebaut, a visionary Belgian architect, is responding to this inevitability with his proposal LILYPAD, A Floating Ecopolis for Ecological Refugees.



LILYPAD is touted by Callebaut as a prototypical auto-sufficient amphibious city... a tenable solution to the rising water levels. In addition to providing housing for those displaced by the transforming land/water relationships, LILYPAD also produces sustainable energy for developed regions.

LILYPAD is a true amphibian - half aquatic and half terrestrial city - able to accommodate 50,000 inhabitants and inviting the biodiversity to develop its fauna and flora around a central lagoon of soft water collecting and purifying the rain waters. This artificial lagoon is entirely immersed, ballasting the city. It enables inhabitants to live in the heart of the sub aquatic depths. The multi functional program is based on three marinas and three mountains dedicated to work, shopping and entertainment. The whole set is covered by a stratum of planted housing in suspended gardens and crossed by a network of streets and alleyways with organic outline. The goal is to create a harmonious coexistence of humans and nature, exploring new modes of cross-cultural aquatic living.

The floating structure of the Ecopolis is directly inspired of the highly ribbed leave of the great lilypad of Amazonia Victoria Regia. The double skin is made of polyester fibers covered by a layer of titanium dioxide (TiO2) like an anatase which by reacting to the ultraviolet rays enable to absorb the atmospheric pollution by photocatalytic effect.

關於農業的另種觸媒

Dear All：

這是Lawrence在山區協助原住民造屋建築時認識的朋友，楊儒門，
即大家熟悉的那位關注弱勢農民的白米先驅。
大家應該都不陌生。
（建築與農業弱勢交流）


最近他在國內改革學者與非營利組織協助下，
運作了一個正向、健康、自給自足的農業網站。

Lawrence深感欽服，
一年多過去了，他仍舊認真地為他心裡構築的夢努力實踐著，
為台灣農業。
從一個不成熟、或激進、反向的社會極端，
到一位納百川、或熱情、從良的農業子民。

儒門的農業網站理念很簡單：

………當大盤知道菜價在50元賣出，而小農因為不知市場變化，
以為菜只能賣5元時，
大盤還跟小農砍價，這就是市場大盤長期來的表現（此種大盤行為稱菜蟲）。
因此，本網站讓農民自己去面對消費者，
提出自己內心對於栽種作物的價格，並解釋為什麼………。

這是他的農業網站：
248農學市集


以上是儒門最近在做的事～
請認同這理念的朋友協助台灣漸趨弱勢的農業，
將本網站轉寄出去吧！！


Lawrence 志明
祝大家平安愉快
