PureSelfMade's Build-Your-Own Wind Turbine Workshops

Since the 1970s, self-taught engineer Hugh Piggott has been building wind turbines from scratch in his native Scotland. In the 2000s, he started holding workshops showing participants how to build their own. Jonathan Schreiber, an Austrian renewable-energy practitioner, took Piggott's course in 2012. Piggott no longer teaches, but now Schreiber has picked up the mantle.

In the Wake of the 2024 Floods in Southern Brazil: Restore the Past or Rethink the Future?

In May 2024, the floods that hit Rio Grande do Sul exposed a contradiction common to contemporary cities. Many were built alongside rivers and shaped by their presence, yet spent decades trying to control water without incorporating its dynamics into urban planning. Extreme weather events will intensify that vulnerability. More than two years later, reconstruction in the Brazilian state has progressed, infrastructure has been restored, and new protection strategies are taking shape. But are these cities rebuilding their relationship with water, or only restoring the systems that failed?

House Up in the Clouds / Hennessey Architecture

Located in the foggy and windy Diamond Heights neighborhood of San Francisco , this fully renovated three-story 1962 Eichler residence includes a fourth level addition that serves to make the home more functional for a growing young family. This upper level addition contains a family room, bathroom, and roof deck, but there was a fundamental issue with the location of this new family room area; it is located two levels above the living/dining/kitchen level of the home, thereby risking not being used on a day-to-day basis.
