Artists, squatters and skaters started NDSM during the 1990s after the Dutch Dock and Shipbuilding Company went bankrupt in 1984. It's very easy to get to the area, as it only takes a short (free) ferry
In 2011 we wrote about Solar Ship, a helium zero-emissions cargo plane that is capable of delivering much-needed goods to people in remote areas where vehicles simply cannot reach. Today, Solar Ship is
Arizona-based PhotonFlightTeam has unveiled plans for a lightweight, solar-powered airship that would be a more sustainable and cost effective alternative to airplanes. The team is raising funds with a
Aeros has been developing airships for the last 25 years in the hopes of building fuel-efficient transport. Aeroscraft is neither a blimp nor a hybrid airship -- it's a Rigid Variable Buoyancy Air Vehicle
Apple has caught some heat for its controversial, car-dependent Cupertino campus proposal, but an anonymous tipster has leaked an updated rendering to Inhabitat that would way up the controversy on the
Now that the holidays are over and winter snowdrifts are sweeping the nation, it's easy to daydream about a relaxing getaway in a distant land. We've seen an incredible array of eco friendly resorts
Google is no stranger to eco initiatives with their many investments in solar power and alternative energies, but unfortunately they still do have quite a few guilty carbon pleasures like their fleet of
Yesterday, American Airlines completed the world's first commercial biofuel flight by traveling from Houston to Chicago powered by a mix of 40% Solazyme algae biofuels and 60% traditional jet fuels.
People have talked about building futuristic airships for zero emissions cargo shipping for a long time, but most of these green blimps remain on the drawing board. One company, SolarShip, has taken the
The creative team has made a wide array of artistic projects ranging from miniature steam boats to pinwheels. Marc (aka 'Tinplate Dad') began working in tinplate 15 years ago, while his daughter (Tinplate
The original thought was to reclaim an airport terminal for displays of the proposed green development, but when the budget came in so low, the design team took a fresh tact by reclaiming the immense
