5 Ways to Celebrate Chinese New Year with Feng Shui

This year, Chinese New Year falls on Friday, Jan 31st in 2014. We say goodbye to the snake and welcome the year of the horse. There are magnificent parades, dancing in the streets, dragon costumes all around, and the entire continent of Asia is in celebration. But what is Chinese New Year all about?  This momentous occasion marks the beginning of spring in the Lunar calendar, a time for new beginnings and renewal. To ring in this new year, why not make some feng shui adjustments to bring some balance to your home? Feng shui is an Asian art of placement — or as I like to say, the original “green design”. Through observing and shifting the built environment, feng shui teaches us how to live in harmony with nature. Keep reading to learn more.

Pollution Solutions: 10 Weird And Wonderful Inventions To Make You Breathe Easy (Or Not)

With the impending doom of climate change looming closer and closer, NGOs, nonprofits, and governments around the world are asking citizens to drive less, buy local, and “reduce, reuse, and recycle.” However, there are certain places where these gestures may not be enough—cities where years of heavy industry, inefficient energy usage, and a lack of environmental regulation have contributed to massive pollution, non-potable water, and smog-drenched skies (we’re looking at you, China). Indeed, the situation in some areas is so dire that the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is on the brink of mandating governments to physically extract greenhouse gases from the air. But, other than simply planting a bunch of trees all over the place, how exactly does one do this? With the heat from the UN—and with billionaire patrons like Richard Branson dangling a giant money-carrot—the race is on to develop innovative methods and technologies to assist in carbon dioxide removal. The scope of concepts is vast, ranging from god-like weather control and geo-engineering efforts, to personal breathing-capsules and grassroots DIY filters. Here are some of the most interesting—and strangest—contenders in this worldwide race to eradicate pollution. AP Photo/Ng Han Guan via …

The 2014 RIBA Norman Foster Travelling Scholarship has launched and is inviting applications from schools of architecture around the world. A £6,000 grant will be awarded to one student by a panel of judges which includes Lord Foster and the President of the RIBA.

First established in 2006, the scholarship is now in its seventh year and is intended to fund international research on a topic related to the survival of our towns and cities, in a location of the student’s choice. Past RIBA Scholars have travelled through the Americas, Europe, Africa, South East Asia, the Middle and the Far East, and Russia.

Proposals for research might include: learning from the past to inform the future; the future of society; the density of settlements; sustainability; the use of resources; the quality of urban life; and transport.

The deadline for submissions is Friday 25 April 2014. Further details and an application form can be downloaded from the RIBA website architecture.com/fosterscholarship.
