It’s Now Approaching Midnight

Peep through the door
It seems as though the grass was much greener before
The dead life has been washed upon the sea shore
Money and greed deluded what is truly pure
And yet our flesh keeps screeching out for more

It's a BBC documentary by Adam Curtis called The Trap.

Journeying on

At the moment, I'm working with Tom, on a website for a real estate company here in Georgia. This is because I have ran out of budget for the trip. I'm living with a Dutch architect and an English real estate company director. It's a nice novelty to live with an English, but we're just so bloody English...  The architect's dream is to cycle round the world, so it's nice to have something in common.

Environmentally Sustainable Building Technology in Tbilisi

I have recently designed a website for a new building in Tbilisi. It is the first Class A+ building, designed by a German architects Wandel Hoefer Lorch. It is an impressive looking structure with a glass fascade which stands out amongst traditional Tbilisi buildings.

The special thing about the building is that it is one of the first in the city featuring environmentally sustainable technology. The facade is made of windows called cavements which protrude out from the building's surface at different distances. They help to reduce the glasshouse effect by preventing direct sunlight and trapping pockets of air.

The result is that the building doesn't need the same level of climate control that a normal building would. The design also reduces noise pollution.

Considering that most energy consumption goes into buildings and domestic use it is good to see this new technology in a building in Tbilisi.

My friend who I'm living with in Tbilisi told me that most new high class architects around the world are evolving to implement energy saving technology as standard.
