From @hillrise_cottage / Hannah Byrnand and Duncan MacDonald in Moyston, Victoria, Australia

Our cabin is a RAL Kit Home. We love that it appears to be a little domed hut from the outside but inside it’s like a mini cathedral, the intersecting arches flooded with natural light. Designer builder Reiny Loeliger (who sadly passed away in 2017), was inspired by the minimal, lightweight bark shelters constructed by Aboriginal people. It’s a bushfire resistant kit home — essential for this region of Australia. The kit consists of prefabricated structural panels which are bolted together to form a series of segmented and intersecting arches to make a house of varying and infinitely expandable size.

Inside the frames are clad with renewable plantation pine plywood which forms the floor and the curved walls/ceilings. Our cabin sits on a beautiful piece of Australian bush in the Grampians region of Victoria. The Grampians is a National Park known for its stunning series of sandstone mountain ranges and its wealth of indigenous rock art sites. Our land features huge and ancient redgum trees, a gorgeous natural dam, and plenty of native wildlife (kangaroos, echidnas, cockatoos and more). We stay here on weekends and holidays, but are planning to move here full time while our children are young and can make the most of country life.

Wood Urbanism

Resim
Wood Urbanism: From the Molecular to the Territorial Daniel Ibañez, Jane Hutton, Kiel Moe (Editors) Actar Publishers , November 2019 Hardcover | 8 x 10-1/4 inches | 488 pages | English | ISBN: 978-1945150814 | $54.95 PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION : Wood holds unique and timely lessons for urbanization, yet it remains inadequately characterized in architecture, landscape architecture, and urbanism. From under-considered thermal properties to emerging manufacturing possibilities, from changing forestry regimes to larger carbon cycle dynamics, Wood Urbanism explores the unique material and scalar properties of wood, presenting it as a critical material for design today. It brings into conversation scholars and practitioners who focus on wood from a range of perspectives: from the working forest to the mid-rise building to the basic cell. Drawing from the inherent intelligence and depth of multiple disciplines, this book offers a transcalar perspective on the role of wood in cont...

Building a gentrification early warning system with big data

Resim
But what if there were a way to see gentrification long before the coffee shops, condos and Whole Foods appear? What if city planners and neighborhoods had an early warning system that could sniff out the changes just as they begin? [...] neighborhood advocates would have the opportunity to implement policies ranging from reserving affordable housing units to educating residents of their renting rights to helping small businesses negotiate long-term lease extensions. In his NPR piece, astrophysics professor Adam Frank explains how various big data sets, like housing prices, eviction records, census data, or social media usage, can be utilized for "predictive analytics" to detect early onsets of gentrification for specific neighborhoods at an increasingly high resolution — and what significant perils come with it.
