Aerotecture

This is cool - "urban wind power" ideas. Let's get these in Michigan cities. Seriously. A little sustainability competition between Illinois and Michigan couldn't hurt. What do all the architects out there think - would you include this in a design?

Check out Aerotecture.

got gas?

Hey o2 Mich -
have you seen these t-shirts?

can you post a comment?

Mission

o2 Michigan
is a proud participant in the international movement toward the creation of places, environments and products that support humane and ecologically sustainable* lifestyles. We strongly believe that environmental and social impacts must be integrated with traditionally respected design considerations (including economic, aesthetic and functional). o2 Michigan is a network, meeting point, and clearing house created to support the thoughtful conceptualization, innovative development, and practical solutions to sustainability issues.

*"sustainable" here, based on commonly held definitions of "sustainable development", means to act in a way that will not destroy natural systems that species (human or non-human) directly or indirectly depend on for survival now and in the future. This orientation must also include fair and equitable treatment of fellow human beings.
