Volunteers worked on Discovery Hill to care for a network of naturalistic trails and paths. Their work focused on remulching pathways, which not only provide visitor access to the south island’s sweeping views but also create a healthy soil environment for the area’s native plantings.
It is estimated that exported timber only represents 5% of the wood cut in tropical forests. 10% is timber used locally and the majority - 85%- of wood is for fuel. While exports are generally the preserve of large scale enterprises, the domestic market is dominated by small forest enterprises. In many countries the forest sector constitutes mainly small forest enterprises - employing from 10 to 100 full-time employees. They create more than half of the jobs in the forest sector and are responsible for over 50% of the government revenues. While small and medium enterprises are important for local wealth creation, at the same time local environmental accountability is strengthened as they are part of the local life.

The helper job routine runs smoothly . Children know to choose their job from the pockets above, and place in the pocket with their picture. It is part of their transition routine from morning circle to breakfast.
Jobs are clearly labeled with a visual. Children’s pictures are used with their name to make it clear.
Children can choose not to have a job that day. Having multiple options and the freedom to choose a preferred job helps build a sense of ownership in the classroom.

MacArthur Elementary School is seen in Binghamton, N.Y., on Oct. 8, 2020. After remnants of Tropical Storm Lee inundated the school with over three feet of water from the nearby Susquehanna River, the school was rebuilt with numerous measures to improve its resilience to flooding. The lower level of the school, sitting in the river's flood plain, was converted to a playground that can flood without lasting damage, while rain gardens and other structures to soak up and filter stormwater are scattered throughout the campus.

TOO FAST TOO SLOW
11 Architectural Moves
April 5–26, 2019
Opening reception: April 5, 6–8pm
40 Wooster Street
New York, NY 10013

Architecture works hard to keep up to speed. In environments that are quickly changing, on borders that are stealthily shifting, and among publics that are increasingly more than human, the discipline swings between representation and agency until it becomes hard to see. A quick look around suggests that its oscillation has either sped up beyond useful limits or ceased altogether. In other words, architecture is somehow both too fast and too slow.
To help architecture find its rhythm again, AWP* asks 11 designers: can architecture be made to move lithely with the present in an effort to remain an agile and relevant agent of social and cultural production? In the search for agency, the projects respond to this question by slipping between visual and material contexts, synced to their pace and situated in unusual places—in the middle, along the edge, over water, out there, in the shadows, through the air, amidst data, on unstable ground—in a critical display of architecture's versatility. In the search for representation, the work moves between image and material, circulating through time-consuming genres and formats to slow down—or speed up—architecture's incorporation into visual culture at large.
Following these themes, the exhibition is organized in two parts: Environments and Apparatuses. Environments bring exterior worlds into the gallery, simulating the effects and affects of sites and atmospheres. They are built up and take you places. Apparatuses sample, mediate, and image materials to demonstrate that the difference between architecture and environment is not a thin line, but a space held wide open for interaction. In a field with differences too uncoordinated to make a difference, AWP asks "when" rather than "how" in the search for shared criteria.
*AWP (Agency for Work and Play) is the platform through which the Princeton School of Architecture Post-Professional M.Arch class explores issues relating to architecture through an interdisciplinary lens.

FENDI BAGUETTE BAG ANNIVERSARY | FENDI POP-UP
New York, New York
situation
“It’s not a bag, it’s a Baguette,” quipped Sarah Jessica Parker in “Sex in the City,”—forever immortalizing it as a fashion staple. Conceived by Silvia Venturini Fendi, the prominent fashion clutch is commemorating its 25th anniversary and is the feature for the Fendi winter 2022 capsule.
To celebrate, Fendi unveiled a New York pop-up boutique, situated at 90 Prince St. in the heart of SoHo. This 1,850 square-foot space was transformed to showcase the Fendi Baguette collection. Teaming with agency Innercity (IC-YA), Britten WoodWorks would craft the essential elements to transform a vacant storefront into a playful pop-up befitting the Fendi brand.
The principal feature would be oversized reproductions of the Baguette itself, fitted for product merchandising display. True to Britten’s capabilities, creating this larger-than-life design adds amusing dimension to the space.
solution
Using formed plywood as the core interior and Brittens's Foam3D™ elements to construct the compound curves and edges, Britten WoodWorks crafted outsized replicants of the iconic handbag—detailed down to the flap, clasp, and signature sleek edges.
Spanning 10’ high and 12’ wide and equipped with floating shelves and ready-to-wear racks, each Baguette was integrated with 3000K LED lighting to house and highlight the collection’s pieces.
Configured in three sets of match pairs, two in jewel-tone green, two in light pink, and two in Tiffany blue, each were color-matched to the exacting hues of the rest of the Fendi interior.
impact
By entrusting Britten WoodWorks, Fendi conveyed its aspirations for a phenomenal pop-up and its brand perception. The finished detailed interior cemented Britten WoodWorks as a complete idea-to-install fabricator and capable partner to shoulder the weighty brand presence of Fendi.
The results demonstrate Britten WoodWorks' ability to produce refined finish details that match highly stylized brand expectations with the technical demands of retail merchandising. From concept to installation in just four weeks, expediate skilled work is another benefit of partnering with Britten, Inc.

Workers operating under the H-2B visa program pick crabs at Russell Hall Seafood in Fishing Creek, Md., on June 15, 2020. Russell Hall is one of only two out of the five picking houses on Hoopers Island that were awarded visas for workers this year. Mark Phillips, son of Russell Hall owner Harry Phillips, says “it doesn’t just hurt his business, but the whole community,” as watermen have fewer places to offload their catch. “We’ve had job fairs everywhere, Baltimore to Washington, [but] people just aren’t going to do it,” Phillips said. “If I had to run this business and rely on Americans, I’d sell it today.” (Photo by Carlin Stiehl/Chesapeake Bay Program)

The James River is seen in downtown Richmond, Va., on Aug. 13, 2019. Like many cities on the eastern seaboard, Richmond was established along the fall line, the area of geological transition between coastal plain and Piedmont, where rivers often have a steeper gradient and become too rocky for large vessels. Cities like Richmond became the terminus for ships carrying goods as far as they could upstream. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)

Although coastal ecosystems are already among the most valuable on the planet, the current estimates of the economic value for some of the oceans blue carbon sinks are surprisingly low. How should human perception of these important ecosystems change as we learn of the vast benefits of maintaining healthy coasts and oceans.

Ficus aurea Nuttall, 1846 - Florida strangler fig in Florida, USA. (December 2012)
Plants are multicellular, photosynthesizing eucaryotes. Most species occupy terrestrial environments, but they also occur in freshwater and saltwater aquatic environments. The oldest known land plants in the fossil record are Ordovician to Silurian. Land plant body fossils are known in Silurian sedimentary rocks - they are small and simple plants (e.g., Cooksonia). Fossil root traces in paleosol horizons are known in the Ordovician. During the Devonian, the first trees and forests appeared. Earth's initial forestation event occurred during the Middle to Late Paleozoic. Earth's continents have been partly to mostly covered with forests ever since the Late Devonian. Occasional mass extinction events temporarily removed much of Earth's plant ecosystems - this occurred at the Permian-Triassic boundary (251 million years ago) and the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary (65 million years ago).
The most conspicuous group of living plants is the angiosperms, the flowering plants. They first unambiguously appeared in the fossil record during the Cretaceous. They quickly dominated Earth's terrestrial ecosystems, and have dominated ever since. This domination was due to the evolutionary success of flowers, which are structures that greatly aid angiosperm reproduction.
Strangler figs are some of the most bizarre plants on Earth. They are pollinated by fig wasps (gall wasps) and seeds from ripe figs are transported in the guts of frugivores/fruit-eaters (often birds). Seeds in bird droppings that are left in other trees, usually Sabal palmetto - cabbage palm trees - germinate under proper conditions and become epiphytes. Long, slender branches extend downward from strangler fig epiphytes and eventually reach the ground. Strangler figs use nutrients from the soil to grow further and wrap themselves around the host tree, eventually shading it out and killing it. Ficus aurea is native to Florida.
Classification: Plantae, Angiospermophyta, Rosales, Moraceae
Locality: Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, Sanibel Island, southwestern Florida, USA
