It’s a simple concept that The Great Outdoor Gym Company has put into practice, creating the ‘Green Energy Gym,’ a free outdoor gym that ‘harnesses people power’ to create electricity. When someone uses one of the gym’s cardio machines, their energy expenditure is converted into electricity–the more people that use the machines, the more electricity generated.

AMAZING SCULPTURE THAT REACTS TO THE HUMAN HEART!
This interactive artwork by Andrew Small and Steven Almond was commissioned for the Royal Manchester Childrens’ Hospital in the UK. The sculpture uses digital lighting, medical monitoring equipment and control devices, and it becomes a heart rate monitor when people interact with it.
At rest, the artwork ‘breathes’ in waves of blue light at the average human breath rate. When a person interacts with it by holding the grips, it takes and projects their heart rate in pulses of red light. Infrared sensors around the sculpture create different color and sequence patterns when their beams are broken, and the sculpture also becomes a clock for five minutes on the hour. Click through to see pictures of the project design and the interactive artwork, and watch the video below to see it in action:

Repurposed Bicycles
Happy Thursday all! For this week’s installment of repurposed items, I’ve decided to focus on repurposed bicycles. Seeing as it’s spring (in most places) and spring makes me think of riding bikes around town, this seemed like an appropriate subject. I hope you enjoy! There’s some neat ideas out there. Keep thinking, keep imagining. Cheers.

I designed and built Revival Food’s “Farm a la Carte” with Mike Royer. The ability to bring local farm food to everyone in a trailer built out with all reclaimed materials puts a smile on our faces.

A recent father, long-time architect decided that it was time for his children to understand and be excited about sustainability from an early age. Victor Vetterlein then invented this, a solar-powered nightlight that children get to play with and use. Pretty clever if you ask me, and a great way to teach sustainability from day one. Check out more about the project here.
