AD Recommends: Best of the Week

By — Filed under: AD Recommends
 

As we told you last week, we will be running every Friday a selection of the posts that you may have missed this week. For example, you have to check the five finalists for each category on our Building of the Year 2009 and cast your vote. See the other must-see posts after the break.

Rosa Muerta / Robert Stone
After visiting his website, I got in touch with Robert Stone and exchanged a few emails… He is a reader of ArchDaily and was very excited to share his work with the readers, and I was also very excited about it after learning more about him and what is behind Rosa Muerta and other projects he has been working on in the California desert (read more…)

Urban Farming in numbers
Interesting study by MVRDV, The Why Factory and Stroom Den Haag. A lot has been said (through) on Urban Farming, but many don’t consider their feasibility. I´m not being pessimist (I grow some of my own vegetables and herbs), but I think that urban farming goes more in the direction of the last phrase of the video: “could it (urban farming) help bringing some agriculture into the cities to bring us closer to our food again?” (read more…)
