“The Sahara Solar Breeder Project is currently being developed by scientists from leading universities in Japan, and will use the world’s biggest desert as its main energy source. The idea behind the initiative is to build silicon manufacturing and solar power plants in the desert, in turn using the power generated from these plants to build even more silicon and power plants in a “breeding” process. Scientists are hoping that such plants will be able to supply energy worldwide through DC power lines using high-temperature superconductors. While the project is still in its research stages, they have already set a target goal of providing 50% of the world’s energy by 2050….”

Spectacular Residence on a Cliff Edge Inspired by a Picasso Painting
Rising on the edge of a cliff measuring no less than seventy meters, House Holman has a spectacular architecture. The project comes from Durbach Block Architects and is located in Dover Heights, a coastal, eastern suburb of Sydney. Featuring unexpected angles of sight given by the elastic geometries of the construction, the exterior design is highly modern and couldn’t be more intriguing. According to the designers, the project was inspired by a famous art work belonging to Picasso. The artist created “The Bathers” after 1918, while spending most of his summers by the sea. The sinuous shapes in the painting seem to be present within this particular house design as well. The complex fluid spaces make for some incredible interiors which take full advantage of the sun rays and sea views.
