Bricks and Sticks

In celebration of Atlanta’s diverse mix of certified green building projects, MODA presents ATLANTA: Beyond Bricks & Sticks, an exhibition that will travel to some of the city’s high-profile venues during February and March. Spotlighting many of the metro area’s outstanding design examples, MODA’s Atlanta: Beyond Bricks & Stickstells the stories of the people who live, work, learn and play in the city’s sustainable structures. Exhibit components include an interactive Atlanta Green Map, a “What is Your Carbon Footprint?” quiz, video interviews, an intimate look at student life at Dekalb County’s LEED Silver Certified Arabia Mountain High School and many other features that explain and celebrate green living.

Curation of the exhibition includes a broad spectrum of buildings reflective of the metro area’s commercial and residential projects along with large-scale developments that incorporate environmental features. All of the exhibit’s projects either meet the US Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) green building rating system or the Southeast’s EarthCraft House certification program. The exhibit has been thoughtfully designed with sustainable materials to fit the theme while allowing for the challenges of traveling to the various settings.

China Syndrome

By Clint Zeagler -- August 13, 2008 at 6:08 pm · Filed under Architecture, Fashion, Travel

Well the world has gone China crazy, and I Love it! Yesterday I found out about the Chinatown Bus system ( WEBSITE ) which is a conglomerate of bus companies that transport people from one Chinatown to another in different American cities.. You can pretty much go from anywhere in America to another city for about $20… ATL Buford HWY to NYC Chinatown for $20 count me in!!

Everyone I speak to is also crazy about the Birds Nest ( WEBSITE ), and granted its an amazing building, but my favorite building is the Water Cube. Here are stills from an amazing slide show about the building up on NYTimes ( WEBSITE ).

We also have to talk about Olympic Fashion ( WEBSITE )

I know this is Awful, but if you already look like an OOMPA LOOMPA then maybe don’t dress like one. And as Matt pointed out one of them is wearing Crocs in the opening ceremonies.. This is just wrong.
