  1. Translucent concrete is a technology that can make buildings brighter and more energy efficient.

  2. Here’s another hanging bridge project in China that will connect 3 skyscrapers.

  4. With hanging bridges, you can say goodbye to harsh weather when moving from one building to another.

  5. Skybridges are a fantastic idea that can help connect buildings with crowded skyscrapers.

  6. I found it on Amazon!

  7. Thermal reflecting paint can make building coolers, eliminating the need for expensive AC cooling in the summer.

  8. “Not only can today’s technologies cut elevators’ energy use, but they also can return energy to the building grid.”

  9. Breaking is broken, from lifts to electric trains, cars to pushbikes, applying breaks is simply swapping useful energy for bad useless energy, ie entropy. So it goes!

  10. Would love this, around the square where I live, there is a hidden huge underground car park, a statue of soldiers that fell in Africa, the #i360 tower and just out to sea there is a huge array of wind turbines – each should have their own qr code I could use to find out more – oh and Oscar Wilde crashed his carriage out side my flat whilst looking for a, ahem, partner for the night/hour. History is everywhere so qr codes could help us from losing it.

  11. Great idea, there are so many historic sites in the UK, each just needs a qr code to inform tourists and locals what history lies beneath their feet, even if it just linked to the Wikipedia page.

  12. Wow, didn’t realise this was a thing, and has been for a while – so yeah and relatives can instantly access a gallery of images of the deceased before they died, kind of a good idea I guess. “They can just upload the photos to the website and we can build their website for them,” Lori Miller says. “They give us a biography of their loved ones, and they can upload videos and backgrounds and music.”
