When Alrie Middlebrook designed this #californianativegarden years ago, never thought the decomposed granite path would glow pink midday. A good day to recommit to fighting #climatechange. We appreciate @cngfgarden @thematerialproject.

Clay as thin black kelp / almost paper #HugoMento #ceramicart @HugoMento Would you please tell us who made this?

We wanted to celebrate the significance of Al Wathba Wetland Reserve the only breeding site of Greater Flamingos in the Arabian peninsula, and habitat to hundreds of resident and migratory bird species alike. We were inspired by traditional Arabian urban design incorporating narrow alleyways that provided shade and breezes. Earth, with its high thermal mass, was used as the primary building material to reduce heat gain during the day and to hold heat in the desert night. #FlamingoVisitorCenter #sustainable #sustainability #recycle #takeaction

Local, living knowledge is suddenly appreciated more than usual! We built an experimental library inspired by the historically nomadic Bedouin culture. An aim was to involve the community in the entire process. https://medium.com//designing-for-local-knowledge-7943d48d #furniture #designer #interior #architecture #alwayswelcome #curated #objectdesign #materialdesign #designculture #functionalart #exteriorfurniture #lovewhereyoulive #librariesofinstagram #kuwaitlife #kuwaitardesign

It's Thursday! Nah, we are not biased ...Go #teamMelKing!! @bravotopchef Cabinet by @gardehvalsoe 2018 when Panafold hosted a hot pot party with @chefmelissaking for @sunsetmagazine, Thomas J. Story @sunsetphoto.

How do we look to the future & think about built spaces this Earth Day? Imagine being able to find sustainable materials when we start making homes and offices again. Would a free and open sustainable materials sourcing app be used by anyone? Does anything like that already exist? Let us know in the comments below! ... Rowing Needle 1971.

We installed new ethernet cables to speed up the rendering while we slow down. People are well. We got this. #poppies #california #balance
