Point to Ponder
"One of the most difficult lessons for ambitious young people to learn is that when you try to make an impression,that is the impression you make. Those whose centre of emotional gravity is deeply embedded are willing to wait quietly in line until they are discovered."
Reader's Digest:June 1988

The cups are made out of agar agar and cast in different flavors, such as lemon-basil,ginger-mint, or rosemary-beet, each specifically designed to compliment a corresponding drink

Harvest City, Haiti A Concept to Recovery
Harvest City, a visualization of Boston-based designer, E. Kevin Schopfer's concept for sustainable development in Haiti
Harvest City is envisioned as a 2 mile diameter complex of tethered floating modules. The overall design is divided into four zones or communities interconnected by a linear canal system. The four major canals will focus built neighborhoods consisting of four story housing complexes. The outer perimeter of the design is predominately “one acre” crop circles with secondary feeder canals. The inner “harbor” will house the city center with schools, administrative, community activities and general marketplace. The entire complex will float and be cable secured to the sea bed. Because of its low profile, low draft dead weight capacity and perimeter wave attenuators, hurricanes and typhoon will have little effect other than collection of much needed water harvesting. A breakwater will be constructed to add to the city’s stability. (It should be noted, this proposal suggests using all the concrete rubble debris from the earthquake as the breakwater filler.) Harvest City is seen as the first floating city for Haiti. The system of floating platforms allows for a master plan to grow and link to other future cities within the harbor.
