Ecobuild Conference 02.03.11

THE ART OF PLACE AND THE PLACE OF ART.
JAY MERRICK, ERIC PARRY, PATRICK LYNCH, STEPHEN BAYLEY.




There were a few things I found which I thought were innovative and good design that I would love to see working. 
1. PAVEGEN - this product is pretty self explanatory, the weight and frequency of urban footfall is used to generate electricity which powers street lights. Therefore the light are only on when they need to be and they are powered in an eco-friendly way. 


This would be an excellent thing to be used in our project in Peckham as we are proposing such a scheme. It's a shame they are such a new company or they might have had the funds available to sponsor us.
