Norman Foster: Building on the green agenda
Loading...
Uploaded by TEDtalksDirector on Mar 26, 2008
http://www.ted.com Architect Norman Foster discusses his own work to show how computers can help architects design buildings that are green, beautiful and "basically pollution-free." He shares projects from throughout his career, from the pioneering roof-gardened Willis Building (1975) to the London Gherkin (2004). He also comments on two upcoming megaprojects: a pipe to bring water from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea, and the new Beijing airport.

richardthripp, I guess you did not catch the news today. Ice, the size of Connecticut just broke away from the Antarctic. This ice will not raise the sea level; the glacier it was supporting from drifting into the ocean will raise the sea level.
Don't believe me, read today's news. Please do not think your opinion is fact. You don't even pay attention to current events.
