A beautifully-shot documentary about Sir Norman Foster noted most for its stunning cinematography. And, in our estimation, this screenshot of Foster in a flight suit:
We’d like to compare those real-life shots to the photoreal animations of classic modernist buildings popping up online recently – we wonder if we could tell the difference?

The map above is a historical record of 150 years of hurricane & cyclone activity in the tropics north & south of the equator. It was generated by the Earth Observatory NASA The absence of hurricanes on the equator , you can the narrow corridor free zone, is due to the Coriolis Effect where its force is zero at the equator.

ORGANOPONICO! AN AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION (via laraboglione)
Organopónicos are a system of urban organic gardens in Cuba. They often consist of low-level concrete walls filled with organic matter and soil, with lines of drip irrigation laid on the surface of the growing media. Organopónicos provide access to job opportunities, a fresh food supply to the community, neighborhood improvement and beautification of urban areas.
Organopónicos first arose as a community response to lack of food security after the collapse of the Soviet Union. They are publicly functioning in terms of ownership, access and management, but heavily subsidized and supported by the Cuban government.
AMAZING. Just… amazing.
