O sobreiro, sobro, sobreira ou chaparro (Quercus suber) é uma árvore da família do carvalho, cultivada no sul da Europa e a partir da qual se extrai a cortiça. O sobreiro é, juntamente com o Pinheiro-bravo, a espécie de árvores mais predominante em Portugal, sendo mais comum no Alentejo litoral e serras Algarvias.
É devido à cortiça que o sobreiro tem sido cultivado desde tempos remotos. A extração da cortiça não é (em termos gerais) prejudicial à árvore, uma vez que esta volta a produzir nova camada de "casca" (súber) com idêntica espessura a cada 9 - 10 anos, período após o qual é submetida a novo descortiçamento. O sobreiro também fazia parte da vegetação natural da Península Ibérica, sendo espontâneo em muitos locais de Portugal e Espanha, onde constituía, antes da acção do Homem, frondosas florestas em associação com outras espécies, nomeadamente do género Quercus.
A finalidade da cortiça é o fabrico de isolantes térmicos e sonoros de aplicação variada, mas especialmente na produção de rolhas para engarrafamento de vinhos e outros líquidos. Portugal é o maior produtor mundial de cortiça.

The cork, cork, or Sobreira Chaparro (Quercus suber) is a family tree of the oak, planted in Southern Europe and from which to draw the cork. The oak is, along with the Pine-mad, the tree species most predominant in Portugal, being more common in Alentejo Algarve coast and mountains.
It is because of the cork oak has been cultivated since ancient times. The extraction of the cork is not (in general) damaging to the tree, since it begins to generate new layer of "shell" (cork) with the same thickness for each 9-10 years, after which it is again subjected to stripping . The oak was also part of the natural vegetation of the Iberian Peninsula, being spontaneous in many places in Portugal and Spain, where it was before the action of man, leafy forests in association with other species, particularly the genus Quercus.
The purpose of cork is the manufacture of thermal insulation and sound application varied, but especially in the production of corks for bottling of wines and other liquids. Portugal is the world's largest producer of cork.

"The Media-TIC building will be the nucleus connecting the space between the Media and TIC clusters of the 22@Barcelona district, a meeting point for companies and professionals. Developed by the Consortium of the Zona Franca and the 22@Barcelona company, the Media-TIC building stands at the junction of Carrer Roc Boronat and Carrer Sancho de Ávila.
Media-TIC covers an area of 14,000 m2 with spaces for companies, research and training, and gives priority to spatial intercommunication, the interrelation with the 22@Barcelona district, of which it is a part, and the development of synergies as befitting a cluster space.
The Open University of Catalonia will occupy the 5,000 m2 of the building's top three floors and will house the university's Internet Interdisciplinary Institute (IN3) and the eLearn Center, while Barcelona Digital Centre Tecnològic will also set up its headquarters in the building, occupying almost an entire floor.
Special attention will also be paid to the zones on the ground floor, where communal services and communication spaces will be located to enhance the connection between the various initiatives of the Parc Barcelona Media and the opening of the building in the district.
- Sustainable architecture
A highly personal creation of the Cloud-9 architect's office, led by Enric Ruiz-Geli, the building seeks to be iconic in the digital world and a vehicle for the dissemination of new technologies, while being designed as a socially open civic space.
The building is in the shape of a cube and formed by large iron beams covered in a plastic coating of inflatable bubbles, which offer glimpses of the fluorescent structure of the building. The attractive covering also has a functional utility as a way of regulating light and temperature, primarily preventing 114 tons of CO2 a year from escaping from the building, and offering a 20% saving on climate control.
Every facade of the Media-TIC is different: from the outside, they reveal parts of their interior spaces and give a diverse plasticity, while from the inside they offer spectacular views.
The translucent and innovative covering, ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluor Ethylene), recently approved as a construction material, is in itself an innovation in Spanish building: it acts as an external covering and a mobile sunscreen that helps light to penetrate and affords heat savings.
The ETFE skin is activated using pneumatic mechanisms thanks to “luxometer” sensors that automatically and independently activate the chamber inflation and deflation devices according to how much solar energy there is. These luxometers are energy independent."
"Borrowing a term used by the former MoMA architecture and design curator Terry Riley, Ruiz describes the design as 'performative architecture': where the structure itself performs other functions.
"The theme of the Media-TIC building is how architecture creates a new balance with the digital use of energy," says Ruiz Geli. "In the digital information era, architecture has to be a technological platform, in which connectivity, new materials and nanotechnology are important."
The 'performative' elements in the Media-TIC building are found in two of the four façades, which are made of the eco-efficient material ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) cladding.
The feature wall is the south-east façade facing Carrera de Sancho de Ávila, which will absorb six hours of sunlight a day. The ETFE cladding surface appears as a mosaic of concave and convex triangles – a design that is said to depict the merging of atoms or elements to make meaningful information, while also representing the process of digital construction.
Protection from the outside heat will be achieved using what's known as the 'diaphragm' configuration of ETFE cladding, whereby three layers of the plastic are fixed within the triangular frame and inflated like a pillow. The resulting bubble contains up to three air chambers that together create a shade-effect and provide thermal insulation for the building.
ETFE cladding will also be used for the south-west-facing façade, which is also exposed to six hours of sunlight daily. A different application of ETFE will be used known as the 'lenticular' solution – where two layers of the plastic are inflated and filled with nitrogen. In this method, the air density of the particles creates a cloud-like solar filter.
In all, the project will use 2,500m² of ETFE cladding, achieving energy savings of 20%.
The remaining façades receive only three hours of sunlight a day and will use internal screen-type blinds for sun protection."

Every now and then you come across a great product. The Lavacore products from Australia are just arriving in the Netherlands. This material is combination of Merino wool lining and a technical stretch insulating fabric. The soles are padded with some extra plastic. This is the Large sock. I can wear them inside my booties and I've managed my coldest dive – 1°C – with them in a wetsuit! These cost about the same as thinner socks, but provide a much warmer and comfortable experience. Sharkskin is another brand with the same kind of products, but they pressed me their products aren't made in China (which Lavacore is, but I don't mind if the quality control is good). I've seen the Sharkskin product as well, but the Lavacore's looks more refined and has a more proper foot shape (compared to the more prevalent 'square tube' design).
So I can recommend the Lavacore products wholeheartedly.
