Terreform ONE [Open Network Ecology]is a nonprofit organization and philanthropic design collaborative that integrates ecological principles in the urban realm.
Terreform 1 was formed for the advancement of socio- ecological science and the dissemination of this knowledge through diverse programs.
In furtherance of these charitable intentions, the organization has created a unique laboratory for scientists, artists, architects, students and individuals of all ages and backgrounds to explore the larger framework of ecology in design.We are currently working on innovative practices and appropriate technologies for local sustainability in such matters as energy, transportation, buildings, waste treatment, food, water, and culture.~Mitchell Joachim: Redesign Cities From Scratch, Wired ~Fab Tree Hab in Huffington Post

A Cameron Parish wetland provided an ideal location for terraces, says Ducks Unlimited biologist Chad Courville. (Irony Editilla's)"We sought marshes that had degraded into large, open-water areas with high turbidity and poor growth of submerged aquatic vegetation. If we can reduce turbidity in these areas, we can encourage sediment accretion and SAV growth.”
New Orleans Museum of Art Presents Photography and Depression~The second exhibition in the museological series at NOMA, is a journey—or, as Brian Eno suggested in 1975, an “oblique strategy”—that began as a reaction to the notion of mania in contemporary art. Underneath the frivolity of contemporary art and fashion, one can quickly locate various types of psychological disorders that often lead to cataclysm, economic breakdown or illness.

~This week it's a cooking lesson with a virtuoso.
Violinist Joshua Bell has received every accolade imaginable in his career, including a Grammy for his stunning performance in the soundtrack of the Academy Award-winning film The Red Violin. Now he's creating his first home and he wants to learn to cook. He and Lynne met up at the stove in his New York City kitchen where Tagliatelle with Caramelized Oranges and Almonds was the lesson of the day.
