Luyanda Mpahlwa LuyandaMpahlwa Design Space Africa says "We have a fragmented city" and asks us to rethink how the future of Cape Town should be and what characteristics we want for it. The need for designing inclusive spaces and utilise spaces better #gbcsa2018 #RacetoZero GBCSA

Rob Peña on the case of the Bullitt Centre, a #LivingBuildingChallenge building. Image comparing it with a "normal" building. He ended with saying that, to create such a high-performing building, you need a strong and engaged community. #RaceToZero #gbcsa2018 GBCSA

Barbara Holtman - Embrace the complexity, collaborate and engage with the different professions included in a Green Building project. Doing that, you'll crack the code to these 48 petals and make #GreenBuildings the norm rather than an "elite addon" #RaceToZero #gbcsa2018 GBCSA

So true. Anne Kerr further spoke about the importance of social spaces. Without that, it's not a smart city. Mott MacDonald #RacetoZero #GBCSA2018

Rob Peña says that it's more than just pretty facades. "We always start with the context. The climate, landscape, culture, people." #RaceToZero #GBCSA2018 Bullitt Foundation GBCSA

CEO Morné du Plessis of WWF South Africa on the #engineers and #architects of nature - birds. From temporary buildings to apartment blocks. We can learn from the functions of the natural environment and implement that into the #builtenvironment. #RaceToZero #GBCSA2018 GBCSA

"Professor Johann Tempelhoff points out how only 7% of the country’s 824 #wastewatertreatment works, primarily operated by local authorities, work properly. The #VaalRiver is the most stressed river." by Sheree Bega for IOL News iol.co.za/saturday-star/…

Is that garden really a #wastewatertreatment system? Yes, and it's also #sludgefree. What you see is the second treatment tank, the only visible component of #TreeWell. The first tank is under ground. We deliver and install TreeWell across Africa for your project, big or small.

#TreeWell is a sludge-free #wastewater treatment system based on #biomimcry: mimicking nature's decomposition and purification processes using dynamic flow and microbial food webs. This compacted system treats wastewater for 125 people.

#rammedearth samples made for Nirox Foundation, requested by #artists for the annual Winter Exhibition that opens for the public in a few weeks time. #Niroxfoundation #Niroxsculpturepark

An installation picture of the compact #TreeWell biological #wastewatertreatment system, before the plants are added in the second tank (above ground). One system consists of two tanks, each 2m diameter, which treats wastewater for 125 people.

We love working with #rammedearth, it's such a powerful but gentle material. Our #stablisedrammedearth are built faster than bricks, are load-bearing, and looks really sleek. This project is being built by our partner @earth_structures_group in Australia.
