Architecture Australia

i have been reading this architecture australia magazine during my boring times and i found some really cool awesome stuff. an old mag but if you have not read it than it's still fresh! here's some cool facts i read.

- the chinese government wants to build 400 new cities of one million inhabitants each by 2020. this is equivalent to the construction of europe in the next twenty year!

-Dongtan, an island offshore from Shanghai, will be the world's first 'eco-city'. meaning ZERO emission!

-this amazing piece of architecture by PHOOEY Architects are really 'green'. the core is made completely from unused shipping containers with the labels still attached. if i remember, there is a play area inside that is made from recycle timber and stuff.
