I logged on to the internet on February 18, 2011, and in the yahoo news stories I caught a glimpse of house that looked like a slinky. My first thought was just curiosity, I wondered why it was shaped like a slinky. As I read the story I realized that it connected to this class and our issues of sustainability. The article over "Green Ark House" can be found
The Green Ark is a prototype created by Alexander Remizov. He wanted to create a building that was in balance with the environment. The building will use wind power generator to create energy. The building is just prototype but it made me wonder what else we could create in the future. As I read about the green ark I found it very intriguing and wondered exactly how this can be built. The thought of having a building that can float on water can be in balance with the environment seems a little unrealistic at this moment, but I feel it is definitely something we should work towards. Though the architect has some enhancing to do, I believe one day there really will be buildings like this.
