Sale: Michael Jantzen's M-House

Sale: Michael Jantzen’s M-House

Architect Michael Jantzen is frequently featured on these pages, and now you can own one of the experimental designer’s most seminal works. Chicago’s Wright auction house will be selling off the M-house on March 25 (2007). More of an experimental pavilion than a conventional house, the M-House features a shifting faade of folding panels, allowing you to open the structure up to the landscape, or close yourself off, as the mood (and weather) permits.

WatAir - Dew-Catching Pyramid by Joseph Cory & Eyal Malka

WatAir – Dew-Catching Pyramid by Joseph Cory & Eyal Malka

WaterAid and Arup’s drawing water challenge to find new ways to deal with water and sanitation issues has come up with some potentially winning ideas. The winning entry is ‘WatAir’ – a 96m, inverted pyramid array of panels that collects dew from the air and turns it into 48 litres of fresh water per day. Designed by a pair of architects, the implication of their scheme is that it could provide a constant supply of fresh water in polluted and remote areas in just about any climate.
