I saw this posted on inhabitat (an excellent site). This particular article is about an architectural project designed by UCX Architects. The project in Rotterdam dubbed the Urban Cactus will accommodate 98 residential units within 19 floors. Situated on the end of harbor, the architects chose to conceptualize the project as belonging to the “green nerve” rather than the surrounding urban structure. The “green” is revealed in a stacked set of alternated planes. The stacked alternated living planes reveal the encompassing “green” of the project. The pattern conceived by the living planes creates more space and allows for each unit to receive more sunlight than a typical stacked composition.

The Ecopod E1 makes it easier for consumers to live a greener lifestyle. The Ecopod E1 is a self-contained recycling center that has storage capacity for bottles, newspapers, plastic bags and other recyclables. Just throw your bottle or can in the appropriate slot, step on a foot pedal, and enjoy the satisfying sound of compaction. The compacted container falls into an internal bin, which can be removed for redemption or curbside disposal. Each pod has storage capacity for approximately 50 crushed containers, while an upper compartment has additional room for glass bottles, newspapers and other recyclable materials. Everything neatly stored away and ready to moved to the next step in the recycling chain.
The Ecopod was designed in partnership with BMW Designworks USA, and is available online from Ecopod in black or white for $328, and starting in December 2006 also at Williams-Sonoma.
