The &#039;mobile&#039; was designed by the office.  Behnisch Behnisch and Parter is actually Behnisch Architekten now as of January last year.  Buro Happold did the environmental systems for the project, the most interesting of which i find to be the use of otherwise wasted stream from an adjacent power plant to heat the building and power the chillers in the summer.  If you want to see more in this vein, Behnisch is doing a Lab project for Harvard, also shooting for LEED Gold.  It will be pretty cool, green, and good for Boston and the green movement in the States.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Info for All,</p><p>If you are interested in the natural lighting systems here, check out Bartenbach Lichtlabor out of Austria (<a

The entire mirror structure is also like a modern sculpture. From the pictures, it looks like papers flying but in freeze-frame. Wish i was there to see it for myself.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow, this sure is very green, saving 42% of electricity! The entire mirror structure is also like a modern sculpture.

They haven&#039;t moved an inch in the last year.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sounds great, and looks good, but as a neighbor who walks by the building twice daily on the way to and from home, I notice the heliostats are more like terrastats.

I&#039;ve been studying how to channel natural sunlight inside a building, and this one looks like they&#039;ve succeeded admirably.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Congrats inhabitat.

I mean mirrors with bindings - personally I have a problem with day-lightning in my room, but there is a wall near window, well-illuminated in morning hours.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nice idea with mirrors on the 5th picture.
