Kendrick Bangs Kellogg (1934 – February 16, 2024)
Kendrick Bangs Kellogg was the pioneer of organic architecture. In the past decades, Kellogg completed over a dozen striking structures (residential and public), each marked with his distinctly curved, irregular, and expressive style. Influenced by his family’s ties to Frederick Law Olmsted, the ‘Father of Landscape Architecture’, Kellogg’s independent architectural journey began after a brief meeting with Frank Lloyd Wright in 1955.
However, unlike Wright and organic architect Bruce Goff, his style explicitly defies categorization, often alluding to a mix of the Sydney Opera House and Stonehenge.
In fact, Kellogg prioritized durability, solidity, and intricacy, a vision reinforced by his collaboration with visionary clients, using high-quality materials like copper and concrete.
Sculpted over 30 years, the Kellogg Doolittle estate in Joshua Tree California is probably the greatest example of organic architecture signed by Kellogg.
Nestled among the rocky terrain of Joshua Tree, California, the house takes the form of an organic object made up of a cluster of sculptural piers. There is an ambiguous relationship between the built space and the extreme landscape as the house navigates between the protruding rock formations. At certain moments, these natural elements pierce through the interior and become sculptural elements of the conditioned space.

Easy zero waste tip no. 5: Paradoxically, you need to throw things away sometimes.
When I first went to college, I bought kitchen supplies for my dorm room. When I moved out of my parents' house, I bought some more. When I moved to a house, I bought even more. I was gifted more. I inherited more. More more more.
My kitchen became absolutely stuffed full of things, most of which I either didn't use, couldn't find, or didn't like but dealt with because hey, I already had it and didn't want to buy another.
Eventually, I sat down and pulled everything out of the shelves, the drawers, the baskets, the cabinets, absolutely everything. I was shocked to discover I had dozens of wooden spoons, but no pasta utensil. Seemingly a billion glass containers and only half of their matching lids. Like 6 pairs of tongs? For some reason?
I picked out the things I knew I used, and the things I knew I would use if I actually knew where they were. I was able to sell a few things, donate about half the rest, and the remaining, I unfortunately had no choice but to throw them away. I filled an entire trash bag, and then some, and felt terrible about it.
Then the most miraculous thing happened.
Since then, I haven't bought a single new thing for my kitchen. Meal prep has been easy. Making food in the moment has been easy. I love spending time in my kitchen, it's clean, organized, and fun. There's no stress anymore- and no compulsive need to buy when I couldn't find things, because hey, I know where everything is.
My waste has been significantly reduced by cutting the clutter out. And this is a principle that can apply to every aspect of your life.
Declutter your closet, you'll only wear outfits you love, and you won't feel nearly as much of a need to buy better all the time.
Declutter your bookshelves, and you'll only be surrounded by books you actually love and/or want to read, without feeling the need to buy more that will just end up being tossed out without ever being cracked open.
Declutter your bathroom, and you'll actually use all of the products you have with far less waste that goes bad before you can use it.
Et cetera.
Surround yourself with things you love, rather than just with lots of things.

Printed Terracotta Cooler
The low-tech cooler is a project I developed with the global design agency, Entreautre. We started with a simple principle inspired by traditional practices: a porous terracotta container filled with water. 
Thanks to a ventilation system (WEEE), the airflow in contact with the wet surface allows water to evaporate in order to produce cold air.
To achieve an interesting effect, we sought to increase the wet wall surface in contact with ventilated air as much as possible. Ceramic 3D printing allowed us to test complex volumes such as differential growth. The natural process of differential growth was also a coherent aesthetic to produce a manifesto product in order to share the vision behind the process.
The process 
I designed this structure with the software Grasshopper. It's a visual 3D programming language linked to Rhino 3D that allows the achievement of complex and parametric pieces that couldn't be done with traditional CAD programs.
I learned the software by myself to achieve the program in order to print the final shape. This shape came from all the different constraints I was confronted with:
The material: The lining thickness, the porosity.
The method of conception: Height, material volume contained in the printing pipe, printing time, clearance angle.
The metrics of minimal performances: Structure resistance, water volume, surface exchange between ceramic airflow and water.
I worked with Luc Dauphin, a mechanical engineer, and Bastien Pyon, Fablab's CEO, who guided me in dealing with those constraints.
The 3D printing machine is an exclusive machine designed by the Dutch artist, Olivier Van Herpt. The one that we used is the only one that exists outside his studio. It works like a traditional 3D plastic printer, where a piston extrudes the terra-cotta as a thin filament layer by layer.

IT'S A WRAP!
All of these Christmas gifts have been wrapped with either re-used or re-purposed materials. The ribbons alone are enjoying their 3rd Christmas and will be saved for a 4th. The plastic bags, baskets and big green bag will get another go too.
Apart from the sticky tape and gift tags, wrapping these gifts cost me nothing. A merry Christmas indeed!

Reeve Tuesti.
Funny cat man. Staunch proponent of improving living standards for people of all backgrounds and economic status. Enthusiast of city planning and publicly funded infrastructure. Expert in robotics, architecture, and civil engineering.
At the end of Final Fantasy VII, he finds himself free of the corrupt warmongering of the Shinra dictatorship, free to follow his heart and conscience, free to enact changes that will help the people of Midgar and restore the injured planet the best ways he knows how.
. . .
Four years later:
(On the Way to a Smile - "Episode: Denzel")
It was Reeve, former Shinra bigwig, now the leader of the WRO . . . folk whispered that the stench of death clung to him. . . . . . . . "You should know first of all that our organization isn't like it used to be. The days of welcoming anyone who was willing to join are long gone. If you want to help in the reconstruction, talk to your local district officer. The WRO is a military institution now."

"Block-Wall"Residence, Karuizawa, Nagano, Japan,
Japanese architecture practice nendo designed a private residence with block-walls made of "CO2-SUICOM", an eco-friendly carbon removal concrete.
The block-walls adjust the line of sight, a creative solution essential in securing privacy from passing traffic and pedestrians while acting as a foil for basking in the natural surroundings.
The design concept was to build the house with concrete block walls that would serve as filter screens. Besides, the material used deserves special attention: “CO2-SUICOM※” blocks, made by replacing a portion of cement, with an industrial byproduct and adding a carbon dioxide-absorbing material for less CO2 emissions during production.
Approximately 2,050 blocks are staggered in parallel rows to create five 3m-high walls. The living space is designed to “fill in the gaps” in between. Calibrating the block angles by three degrees to fit each room condition ensures privacy in the bedroom and bathroom, while also providing a spacious ambiance in the living and dining rooms. Ultimately, the design transpires into blocks arranged in a gradient-like pattern.

Capsule Closet for People who love clothes
Hey, you. yeah you. Are you alarmed at the wasteful nature of the fashion industry? Do you feel like you never wear most of your clothes? Are you trying to downsize for college/moving out? Are you bored and re-organizing your closet at 2 in the morning? trying to buy less clothes to save money? yeah I bet you are, and I have a solution.
The Capsule Closet.
It's a pretty simple thing, Pinterest moms have been doing it forever now. Essentially, it's limiting your closet to a small, year-round collection of items in a similar pallet you can mix and match to create your outfits. It achieves this by giving you a 'limit' for how many of one particular item you should have in your closet at any given time.
But see, there's a slight problem - most capsule closets propose an extremely small numbers of clothes. I'm talking one pair of pants two shirts small. And see, that's not gonna work for all of us, and it certainly wouldn't have worked for me. So I came up with the perfect closet, not too small and not too big with plenty of room for customization to YOUR tastes.
Tops - 6 total short sleeve tops, 5 total tank tops, 10 total Long Sleeve Tops
5 Short Sleeved T-shirts 2 Button Up Blouses (I have one short and one long sleeve) 5 Tank Tops 2 Sweatshirts 2 Long Sleeve Tees 1 Hoodie 4 Sweaters
Bottoms - 7 total long bottoms. 4 total short bottoms.
2 pairs of Jeans 1 pair of corduroys 4 pairs of miscellaneous pants 1 skirt 3 pairs of shorts
Jackets and Dresses - 6 total dresses/one pieces. 9 total jackets
4 dresses 2 overalls 2 zip up hoodies 2 flannel jackets 1 Denim Jacket 4 miscellaneous jackets
Sleepwear - 6 tops, 5 bottoms
2 sets of Pajamas 3 Lounge Tees 3 Sweatpants 2 Tank Tops 1 Sweatshirt 2 Shorts
Never forget that this list is totally customizable! Hate overalls? Add them to the dress count! Don't wear dresses? Add 2 more sets of tops and bottoms to your line up or cut it out entirely! Don't live in a cold climate? well don'ts buy 4 sweaters, buy 4 more tank tops or t-shirts!
