“Carbon neutral” is a term recognizable by many, but, until now, “carbon negative” hasn’t seen much practical use. That’s all about to change (maybe). Novacem, a British materials company, has pioneered carbon negative concrete; the concrete is made from magnesium carbonates, the production of which actually absorbs carbon dioxide.

Since the 1960′s, Jerry Gretzinger has been creating a map, and while Google might not have any use for his vast world, its artistic value makes it a beautiful exercise on its own. Watch the video below. Jerry’s Map from Jerry Gretzinger on Vimeo.

Austin, Texas is a hotbed of architectural innovation, but how many firms can you name from the self-proclaimed live music capital of the world?

The project certainly achieves its goal of the establishment of [...]
