  1. Communication by demonstration project. Entirely human generated rendering, CAD to SVG to Raster:

    Sonoma | Humanicarium Project
    Ground level, stepped terraced, curvilinear gabions form a human-scale fireproof #formicarium, with geotextile planters for under native understory species, curated native sedge ground cover, mosses and lichens; extensive daylighting, natural and active thermal regulation and ventilation; passive and active low-impact water harvesting.

    Detail: Torre de las Moiras (sp), Tour des Moires (fr)
    Cable suspended above the Humanicarium, are octet space-frame truss platforms, adjustable ETFE double wall pleated vertical curtains, minimalist tensile membrane canopies, serving as the hub for multi-level elevated forest walkways.

  2. 🌳 Remarkable example of New Urbanism landscape architecture from Fayetteville, AR.

    🌟 It's a 36 mile (~60km) multilevel greenway that connects multiple urban spaces and attractions.

    🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 The recently completed project "offers opportunities for visual and performing art throughout and serves as a hub for activity, gathering, recreation, and community."

    🌞 Looks much better than concrete sidewalks through sterile grass fields.

  3. “This palm species gives us a reflection on temporality, because it has roughly the same lifespan as a human being,” said Saavedra. “Marx also wanted to convey a poetic perspective.”

  4. Saavedra said that environmental laws strictly regulate transporting species native from another continent, although talipot palms are not invasive due to their slow development.

    The interest the phenomenon has generated is positive and could encourage a sense of belonging for human beings to preserve rather than destroy the environment, according to Saavedra.

  5. In addition to Flamengo Park, the talipot palms can be found in Rio’s Botanical Garden, where they are also flowering.

    That’s because they were brought across from southern Asia together, have the same metabolism and have been exposed to the same Brazilian rhythm of daylight, according to Aline Saavedra, a biologist at Rio de Janeiro State University.

  6. Originating from southern India & Sri Lanka, the #TalipotPalm can reach up to 30 meters (98 feet) in height & produce around 25 million #flowers when it blossoms, using energy accumulated over decades.

    If the flowers are pollinated, they produce fruits that can become seedlings.

  7. Towards the end of its life — which can span between 40 & 80 years — the palm tree sends up a central plume crowded with millions of small, creamy-white blossoms that rise high above its fan-shaped leaves.
