New York produces as much waste as the statue of liberty weighs each hour. This waste could be used in the future for building things such as buildings.
ReplyDeleteBuildings would be built by plants or shrubs. This method of building is very practical, however utilities like heating and plumbing would be difficult.
1. In one hour, New York produces the weight of the Statue of Liberty. In the future that waste could be recompacted into building blocks, or recycled "bales"
ReplyDelete2. In the future, buildings will grown by exploiting plants and mushrooms, however it will involve twisting, pruning and manipulating large trees into the frames of buildings when using plants. I don't think that this method is practical because maintaining a home is already hard work but now, you had to include the extra maintenance to keep your home from possible issues: your home may grow too big, when hurricanes come, home could be easily uprooted, and when it rains the plant-constructed homes will have leaking problems.
1. New York produces as much waste as the weight of the stature of liberty in one hour. This waste could be compacted into building blocks for buildings or recycled into bales.
ReplyDelete2. In the future, Joachim believes it a possibility that buildings be constructed by trees and plants. This method is very eco-friendly however I do not believe it is entirely practical. The trees need to be grown in a certain way and manipulated in order to do the functions of a house (like have a roof). Also, when it rains or any natural disaster occurs, the plant-house would not be suitable for protecting its inhabitants and most likely would not be strong enough to survive.

ReplyDelete2. According to Mitchell Joachim, houses in the future will be built of trees and shrubs that are manipulated into building frames. I don't think that this is practical because we would need shrubs and trees to grow to enormous sizes and we wouldn't have enough resources for everyone to have a home. I also think that heating, cooling, and utilities would drastically have to change.
1.) In an hour New York produces as much waste as the weight of the Statue of Liberty. This waste could possibly be turned in to recycled "bales", or re-compacted building blocks.
ReplyDelete2.) Buildings may be built in the future by manipulating large trees and bushes into the frames of buildings, or by turning mushrooms in to in to building block materials. I don't think this is practical because although it may be more environmentally friendly a house made up of plant materials would not be as sturdy an protected from natural disasters, and using everyday utilities would be a more difficult task.
1) The amount of waste produced by NY in one hour sums to the weight of the Statue of Liberty. In the future, the bails of blocks could be made into recycled bales which are just compacted building blocks from the waste.
ReplyDelete2) In the future, buildings may be built by using natural resources as the frameworks-such as trees and various shrubs. This is highly impractical because they would not supply the adequate support, protection and necessities of a modern home. Also, not each geographical providence possesses tall enough trees to create such a feat and the idea would not be able to globalize.
1)The amount of waste produced in an hour in New York is equal the to weight of the Statue of Liberty. This waste could be recycled into bales or re-compacted building blocks
ReplyDelete2)Trees and different shrubs in the future can become foundations of buildings in the future. This would be impractical due to it being a strong enough to support through natural disasters. Also if common day utilities if advanced would be difficult to use with natural materials.
1. New York produces approximately 450,000 pounds of waste an hour which about the wright of the Statue of Liberty. In the future, this waste could be exploited a a beneficial resource to building construction in the city because it could be compacted into blocks or bales and be used to construct buildings.
ReplyDelete2. Although this is all hypothetical, buildings in the future could be built from direct natural resources instead of manufactured resources. What this means is that instead of building with wood, we would build with actual trees and fungi.This could be done by twisting, pruning, and manipulating large trees into the frames of buildings. Large fungi could also by constructed into homes by layering and blocking them. Synthetic meats could also be a form of building construction. In general, these building constructions aren't very practical in the way that it would require extensive amounts of time and labor to form a tree into a canopied home. It would also not be capable of sustaining current life with wall outlets and electricity. Even if electricity could be brought into these houses, it would still be a huge fire hazard to be living in a tree especially in Colorado. The only benefit to having tree houses would be insulation.
1- New York, in one hour, produces waste that equals the Statue of Liberty's weight. In the future, this waste could be used or recycled for constructions or be (re-)compacted into blocks and bales.
ReplyDelete2- In the future, buildings could be built with all natural resources (such as trees) and not manufactured sources. This method of building would not be practical, though, as trees would not be able to give the protection and comfort houses today offer. It would also, to a certain extent be dangerous, as trees can not support too much weight and bringing electricity would mean taking valuable risks.
1) New York produces an amount of waste weighing the equivalent of the Statue of Liberty every hour. This waste could theoretically be reused and recycled into resources such as building materials.
ReplyDelete2) The author mentions that cities and buildings could theoretically be crafted out of nature itself, using trees to sculpt the structures that are inhabited by humans. This design, while certainly eco-friendly, seems extremely impractical for numerous reasons. Not only is it impractical, it is also an extremely unlikely switch to be made by future generations.
1. Per hour New York produces waste equivalent to the weight of the Statue of Liberty. In the future this waste could be used to make builinding blocks or into recycled bales'.
ReplyDelete2. In the future bulidings a nd houses will be built out of trees and shrubs that are constructed into building frames. I do not believe that this is practical, because we would need shrubs and trees to grow into enormous sizes and there would not be enough resources for everyone to have a home; also because the shrubs and trees would not be able wo withstand the weather conditions.
