Hinterland Urbanisms.
Andean Hub.

The IIRSA Andean Hub is defined by a north-south corridor crossing Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Some 104 million inhabitants occupy the region of the Hub, yet the IIRSA projects are centered in remote undeveloped border conditions. This reinforces the emergent hinterland urbanism quality. The reserach and project explores the possibilities of contemporary infrastructure in this hub and yields two essential observations:
1) border stations are an opportunity to reconsider how energy, specifically hydroelectric, is stored, distributed and catalytic with development, and 2) the north-south orientation of the hub and its attendant geography, allows for a linear energy corridor. We call these the “power station” and “superline,” respectively.
WEATHER = WATER = POWER. Ten percent renewable sources of energy, established as a worldwide goal for 2010, is already a reality in Latin America, but that has been achieved mostly through large-scale hydroelectric dams. Around 23 percent of Latin America’s total primary energy supply comes from renewable sources, including hydroelectric dams, according to the ECLAC study “Energy sustainability in Latin America and the Caribbean: the share of renewable sources,” published in October 2003. Likewise, the Andean region is rainy, yielding some 2500mm annually in more than 30% of its territory. Although precipitation is unpredictable. What if an infrastructure were able to flex and anticipate river flow and rainfall dynamic? The overarching ambition of our proposal is to produce a new model of energy hub that integrates border conditions and ecosystems. Water becomes the binding element of energy, nature, economy, and hinterland eco-development.
POWER BORDERS. Significant to the suite of investment projects planned for the Andean hub, we have identified the following as offering the most potential for new innovative design thinking: border stations, electricity and interconnection, and hydroelectricity stations. The possibility exists to intersect these investments to yield a new model of border crossing and subsequently, a new border energy city. IIRSA is currently seeking: 3 new border stations and 2 power connections at the border of Venezeula and Colombia; 2 border stations, 3 power connections, and 1 hydro-electric stations at the Colombia and Ecuador; 2 border stations, 1 power connection, and 2 hydro-electric stations. Each of these three border conditions offers the catalytic need and opportunity for the first “power stations” in the Andean superline energy system.
ANDEAN SUPERLINE. With the Pan-American Highway providing a model for linear infrastructure, the opportunity for a linear power corridor is potent. The Andean superline would be served primarily by hydroelectric stations and power connections.
In response to the already increasing hydropower in the region, the Andean superline could bundle and integrate other renewable energy sectors such as solar, wind, and geothermal.
BIODIVERSITY. The Andean Hub is a significant ecologically sensitive region, with over 25% of the world’s biodiversity. One way to address this is to conceive of the superline simultaneously as a protected landscape – even a monitored and managed ecosystem that safely integrates infrastructure and habitat. Each power plant and energy source will be evaluated economically and environmentally. The sites with low or bad rating will no be connected to the super line. If the superline is efficient, the low-rated powerplants will only serve for local power generations and will be phased out in the near future.
Earth Designs Garden Design and Build were asked to created a landscape and propose garden design in Leytonstone, London here are the details of the project.
The Terrace House Garden in Leytonstone, London E11
BRIEF:
This plot was a long urban garden and was almost completely bare, but for two large, established trees. The client was attempting to construct a pond in the near right corner using green slate boulders as decoration, and requested that this should be included in the design.
The interior of the house had a modern, contemporary feel fused with Victorian architecture. As the patio doors lead directly from the kitchen/diner into the garden, the garden becomes very much an extension of the house – as such the style of the interiorwas of particular consideration in the design the exterior space.
SOLUTION:
The final design created a low maintenance garden with a simple and contemporary feel. The area directly behind the house was laid with decking, running half way down the left side of the space. New wooden fences, to replace the existing worn out wire fences, were erected down the right of the garden, onto which a selection of clematis and everlasting sweet peas were trained.
The main area of the garden consisted of a tapered, oval shaped lawn, encircled by a raised bed following the same shape as the lawn. A smaller, tapered oval raised bed in the middle of the lawn served to slightly mask the bottom of the garden, breaking up the space and helping to create a sense of intrigue.
The simplicity of the borders was echoed in the planting, which consisted of white flowers and green foliage. Cool, crisp and elegant, a white planting scheme provides an air of harmony and tranquillity, and is well suited to the style of the garden and the interior of the house. An area devoted to graceful architectural ferns helped to accentuate the simplicity
of the space and serves to provide a stunning and effective display throughout the year.
Re-designing the layout of the client’s existing pond, using state boulders together with a powerful pump to produce an effective waterfall, helped to create a striking water feature. The pond and surrounding area was given life with the addition of water lilies and other aquatic and semi-aquatic plants. A bowed Cedrus libani (ssp.atlantica) ‘Glauca’, trailing branches in the water, presented the final flourish to the space.
TESTIMONIAL:
“Katrina and her team worked extremely hard and long hours to complete the garden quickly and with minimum disruption to our home. Considering that we have no access other than through the entire house, there was almost no disruption to our lives.
Watching the garden grow from its original design and come to life was amazing. It exceeded our expectations completely, and the aftercare pack and service offered by Earth Designs was brilliant.
We have no hesitation in recommending Earth Designs to any of our friends, who have also been amazed with our fantastic new garden - of course we have been showing it off at every sunny opportunity. Thanks to Katrina and her team at Earth Designs for such a fantastic design, utilising the space brilliantly and creating an outside space that we are extremely proud of.”

The Border Collie is a herding dog breed developed in the Anglo-Scottish border region for herding livestock, especially sheep. It is the most widespread of the collie breeds.[citation needed]
Typically extremely energetic, acrobatic, and athletic, they frequently compete with great success in dog sports, in addition to their success in sheepdog trials, and are often cited as the most intelligent of all dogs.[1] In January 2011, a Border Collie was reported to have learned 1,022 words, and acts consequently to human citation of those words

'Amikejo' is a series of four exhibitions by artist duos at MUSAC’s Laboratorio 987. Amikejo was a tiny state that existed from 1908–1920 between the Netherlands, Belgium and present day Germany and was founded on a desire to foster more effective international communication through the synthetic language Esperanto – Amikejo means ‘place of friendship’ in Esperanto. This episode-place was a unique synthesis of cartography, language, nationhood, politics, economics and subjectivity, and is entreated as a twin site to Laboratorio 987 by lending its name and conceptual borders to the exhibition series.
Fermín Jiménez Landa (Pamplona, Spain, 1979) & Lee Welch (Louisville, USA, 1975) did not know each other before the invitation to participate in Amikejo. As if engaged in international diplomacy, the artists have had to understand each other personally and artistically before issuing what might be regarded as a joint statement based on what they have agreed and negotiated, in the form of an exhibition. Jiménez Landa and Welch have chosen to establish their collaboration in relation to the notion of the micronation and devices which delineate sovereignty – borders, stamps, anthems, and so on. Their project refers to other historical episodes in addition to Amikejo itself as well as taking inspiration from methodologies which combine fixed parameters with improvisation, such as the directing technique of filmmaker John Cassavetes.
Their works in MUSAC comprise a constellation of diverse performative, discursive, interactive and displayed elements, some of which are directly apparent in the Laboratorio 987, while others document occurrances at remote locations, or exist only in the imagination. A platform-like structure and sculptures that take the form of portals or border markers constitute spaces and tools for assembly and discussion as well as hosting further two-dimensional and video works. A marching band from León was recruited to compose and perform a national anthem for a new autonomous island state and the founding of this micronation has been documented in video and photography. Companioning this, a series of letters have been sent by the artists using stamps from Moresnet, the republic which anteceded Amijeko. Jiménez Landa’s and Welch’s joint endeavour considers how art can produce new understanding, memories and communicative possibilities together with an audience.
