The Municipal Art Society is asking for ideas to transform/preserve the future of Coney Island. Check out their website and submit something if anything comes to mind (such as a hover craft monitor cell). Submissions due by November 12.

hey all, i went ahead and searched thru the avery index of periodicals for anything relevant to lab design and compiled what i found into a pdf. i dunno how helpful this may be but there are some interesting precedents as well as a good amount of technical info. i posted it on my website, here is the link: http://www.duke.edu/~th26/avery_index_pack.pdf

MIT Media Lab
So I was perusing the MIT media lab website and I hit paydirt. Check out these videos of life at the lab. Be sure to watch "Media Lab @ Night" It's really cute.

Energy Calc Spreadsheet 10-22
Hey guys,
Jung Woo asked me to post this up for everyone. I consider it a work in progress. There are some new calcs since I showed you the first spread sheet last Friday. For instance, at the top is a general idea of what you could power with 3000 sf of solar panels. Actually a significant amount if you get very creative about how you service the rest of your spaces.
Furthermore, keep in mind that there is more to do with this and it's a REALLY rough estimate. Getting a really solid number is a lot of engineering and a lot of research. There's no real "time-saver standard" for this stuff.
Here's the file: right click and download.
To see the background research check out the files I posted earlier. This is where I pulled most of my rule of thumbs:

Here's the research for the lab's energy usage. The chart that shows watts over the hours of the day is the one I really pulled from (averaged out the values)

If you guys have any questions, just ask! Hopefully, all this can become a lot clearer tomorrow with Klaus Lackner.
