Used to be sardines from Norway now it's solar panels


Spray-on film turns glass into solar panels | Crave - CNET: "Pushing the envelope on solar panel technology is Norwegian company EnSol, which has patented a prototype thin film solar cell technology designed to be sprayed onto any glass surface. In fact, plans are afoot for a thicker solution to coat exterior walls or be used in the form of 'clip-together' solar roof tiles. If this technology works as planned, it could take away the need to plonk big solar panels on rooftops, particularly in industrial settings." Now this would be nice. Need I say more?

Tall buildings with more of the same old and some green embroidery

Paul Goldberger, The New Yorker's architecture critic, spoke with Richard Cook. http://bit.ly/9U0zML VIDEO And I have to yawn. These guys are articulate but it would seem they have not absorbed the need for a sea change. Green is something to move beyond. They don't see a cyber world. They don't integrate pattern language with new design They see tall buildings and more of the same old with some green embroidery.
