  2. Impressionnant déplacement de refuge en NZ après que la rivière ait changé de cours. Utilisation d'un hélico pour déplacer le bâtiment de 2,5 tonnes.

    Je suis toujours impressionné par ce que permettent les bâtiments en bois. Et notamment le fait qu'une fois le bâtiment démonté, il ne reste aucune empreinte au sol.

  3. #Air-conditioning is always a #heatpump.
    Usually they can run in heating mode.
    So very efficient each way.

    That one room refuge or citadel is an idea I applied a while back, but it is also the #refuge against unusually cold days, losses of the usual heating mode, and failure of grid supplies. Doing that for the whole house is excessive, but one room is manageable.

  4. Between 2021 & 2025 I wrote a trilogy of albums.

    Home, Interplanetary Exodus, and Approaching the Horizon.

    All three are an allegorical exploration of love, separation and survival in a vast #cosmos.

    The first included various collabs and is quite #experimental. The second feels more urgent, and brings in questions about #ai, reliance on #technology and #refuge.

    The third is the culmination and ends with a simple thought... we are star stuff, never truly alone as long as we have #love.

  5. A quotation from Euripides

    MEDEA: Now let things take their course. What use is life to me?
       I have no land, no home, no refuge from despair.
     
    [ΜΉΔΕΙΑ: ἴτω: τί μοι ζῆν κέρδος; οὔτε μοι πατρὶς
       οὔτ᾽ οἶκος ἔστιν οὔτ᾽ ἀποστροφὴ κακῶν.]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Medea [Μήδεια], l. 798ff (431 BC) [tr. Vellacott (1963)]

  6. Devastation on the summit

    The summit of Mount #Olsberg has already been ‘cleared up’ following #Hurricane #Kyrill (January 2007), but its effects are still visible.
    In the centre of the picture, you can see the #summit #cross and the mountain hut, which were spared by the hurricane.

    February 2008 (Hans Martin Köster)

  7. Four years after the full invasion of #Ukraine by #Russia more and more #refugees want to stay in their country of #refuge. This is the result of a poll conducted in #Denmark by researchers at the University of Copenhagen and the ROCKWOOL Foundation.
