Eco-Activism vs. Eco-Friendly

The discussions regarding "green architecture" is hot stuff and it has been so for the last few years. So let me join in on the topic! This semester its all about the enviroment for me, but I'm not going to design a Eco-friendly house, that doesn't really interest me at all. I'm more into Eco-activism, the art of "in-your-face-ecology". I want to communicate an active stand for improving the environment, not just designing a non-polluting building.

I think these projects are good examples of eco-activism, whether they are beautiful or not, the buildings (or installations) state themselves as the remedy for the disease the nature carries:


Cloud - An Te Liu
Perth photobioreactor - Emergent
Flower Street Bioreactor - Emergent
Waste Collector Skyscraper
LO2P: Delhi Recycling Center
Water Purification Skyscraper in Jakarta
