TheJellyfish Barge, designed by Cristiana Favretto and Antonio Girardi is a solar powered floating greenhouse, designed to desalinate seawater and use it in a hydroponic system. The modular design means that several can be joined together as required.
It’s designed for areas with food scarcity problems, such as Northern Africa, places flooded by seawater, like India, or cities which will be affected by rising sea levels, like New York.
Places like Makoko in Nigeria seem ideal for these!
natgeo Jackson County Alabama. Video by @salvarezphoto I’ve been building a cave. Well a virtual one at least. It’s part of a proof of concept project to see if we can use images to build very accurate 3D maps of underground spaces. This 3D map is constructed of 1200 individual high resolution images. This looks like drone video but it’s a virtual camera “flying” through a digital replica of a real world cave. The technology is called photogrammetry. The potential of this technology for understanding, interpreting, preserving, and exploring the world is incredible.
