The Airplot Competition: we have a winner!

Posted by jossc - 13 May 2010 at 10:25am - Comments

This morning we're proud to announce the winner of the Airplot Contest - our competition to find the ideal structure to fortify the Airplot so that, if the police come to turf us out, we can peacefully resist them. There were two categories - one for architects and architecture students to come up with some practical solutions for how we can defend the land, and the other open to everyone to let their imaginations off the leash.

We asked for an exemplary piece of sustainable design: a practical solution with cultural and aesthetic power to match the depth and importance of what’s at stake. We haven’t been disappointed...

You can come and see the best designs at the public exhibition, which takes place at the Bargehouse Gallery on London's South Bank from 2-6 June.

Her's a sneak preview of the winning design, Groundswell by Lukas Barry and Alastair Parvin, architecture graduates and designers working in London. You can see it in greater detail, together with some of the best shortlisted entries, over on our Flickr site.

Many Supermarkets all over Europe but specifically in the UK are selling wild Pacific salmon. The fact that the source is obviously small wild salmon, caught by Chinese trawlers implies that salmon are being caught before reaching maturity and being able to spawn. The reduction in stocks is therefore increasing by geometric progressons and therefore extremely serious.

The Chinese do what they want as their government doesn't care about the International Community, as they know that the West let's them do what they want as the dollar is king in the developed world. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS IS TO HIT THE RETAILERS, find out who is stocking wild undersized salmon and protest outside the stores and head offices. Get the press involved, take away their market, and if the chinese have nowhere to sell this fish they will hopefully stop catching it....
