If you thought that planes could only be tinted in those old dull shades of primary colours, you might well, be severely wrong. The Boneyard Project is hunch bent upon proving that colours can make every object, starting from a small canvas to a huge aerial carrier, resume life; and stand a class apart. The project is all about making use of airbuses that are no more in commercial use and turning them into awesome pieces of artwork.

The Pacific Trash Vortex or better known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the world’s largest marine landfill. Comprising of an expansive patch of the Pacific Ocean, constrained by long range ocean gyres, the polluted space is characterized by exceptionally high concentrations of plastics, chemical sludge and other contaminating components. As a matter of fact, some scientists consider it to be a slow moving polluting mass which is likely to expand even further in the future. Now, given the alarming scope and the current adverse impact on the surrounding ecology, it is highly pertinent to contrive a collective solution for this ever growing marine predicament. In relation to this, fortunately there have been a few innovative conceptions that righteously pose as our sustainable savior. So, as ardent ‘eco friendly’ citizens, we should certainly have a look at some of these ambitious proposals.

According to statistics in America women comprise of only 25 percent of the total bicycle riders. One of the reasons for this is the lack of bicycles on the market that focus on this niche, and provide a viable and comfortable product to its clientele. “Velo chic”, is one such concept that aims to bring a trendy, comfortable line of bicycles to the female audience and bridge the gender gap in the bicycle industry.

Environmentally friendly homes can reduce inhabitants’ carbon footprints, save resources and lead the way for others to live the same way. Most of us, however, have been living in homes that are pretty standard, in that they don’t help us reduce our carbon footprints. The US Department of Energy has been trying to further green living in terms of homes and has been organizing the Solar Decathlon for a while now. The international competition is a biennial event that challenges 20 college teams to come up with conceptual homes that utilize solar energy. The teams get to work on site, detailing their prefabricated houses for 10 days in a bid to take home the Solar Decathlon title. 2012’s competition is set to begin and we’re eager to see who wins the coveted prize.

Nature has always been a source of inspiration for humans and when it comes to solving complex architectural design problems, architects seek shelter from it to understand and learn the natural way of dealing with things. The process in which inspiration from nature and its elements like tree, plants, hills, etc. determines the course of architecture, has been termed as ‘biomimicry’. Learning from nature not only helps in solving design related problems, but allows integration of sustainability for constructing eco sound structures.

In an age of highfalutin automobile concepts and ostentatious architectural projects, our scope of imagination has certainly expanded beyond the domestic ambit. Interestingly, very few of us would have really thought about how a futuristic washing machine would look like in 2050. But, Orbit washing machine concept design by Electrolux, rendered by industrial designer Elie Ahovi, is bamboozling and worthy of your attention.
