Izakhiwo Zezindawo Zokuhlala I-Floating House iyikhaya elinamazinga amathathu elitholakala e-Central Valley yaseCosta Rica. Isakhiwo silinganiselwa cishe kumamitha-skwele angama-400 futhi sibekwe endaweni yegquma elitshekile. Amasu okuklama angadingi amandla (passive design) ahola le phrojekthi, okuhlanganisa ukubekwa ngokuhambisana nendawo kanye nokusetshenziswa kwezinsiza zemvelo. Amasu okwakha ezimboni nawakhiwe ngaphambilini ahlanganiswa nezinto ezivunwa endaweni nezivuselelekayo. Amaphimbo amakhulu ophahla avikela izikhala ezingezansi emvuleni nasemisebeni yelanga. Amandla elanga aqoqwa ophahleni. Izingadi ezakhiwe ngamathala namabhalkoni zibheke indawo ezungezile.

Idizayini Yangaphakathi Yesitolo Sezibiliboco I-Chuchulab Short Cakes iyidizayini yangaphakathi yesitolo sekhekhe elincane esise-Shenzhen. Isikhala esingamamitha-skwele ayi-125 sithatha ugqozi ogwini olusezansi eFrance, sisebenzisa amajika alingisa ukunyakaza kwamagagasi. Ama-veneer okhuni, amaslabhu amatshe a-sintered, amathayela enziwe ngesandla ne-marble kuhlanganiswa nezitshalo eziluhlaza ukwakha umoya okhululekile nozolile. Ukukhanya okuthambile kanye nemibala engathathi hlangothi ye-beige nempunga kusekela isimo esiphumuzayo. Ibha ephakathi nendawo eyisiqhingi isebenzela izindawo zokudlela nhlangothi zombili futhi iqondise ukuhamba kwabantu, kanti izihlalo ezivalwe ngokwengxenye zinikeza izivakashi ubumfihlo.

Isitsha Sezilwane Ezifuywayo I-Cone yisitsha sezilwane ezifuywayo esiklanyelwe izinja zezinhlobo ezincane nezimaphakathi. Lesi sitsha sihlanganisa izimo eziyindilinga nezinxantathu, futhi singasetshenziselwa ukudla noma amanzi kuye ngendlela esibekwe ngayo. I-cone ephakathi nendawo yehlisa ijubane lokudla ngokuhola isilwane ukuthi sidle sizungeze yona ngamathamo amancane. Uma kufakwe amanzi, umphetho ongaphezulu obunjiwe kanye namakhona amathathu aphakeme kunciphisa ukusaphaza nokuchitheka. Isitsha esiphakanyisiwe sinciphisa ukucindezeleka entanyeni futhi senza kube lula ukusibamba. I-Cone yakhiwe nge-polymer engenabuthi esezingeni lokudla ebunjiwe kanye ne-mineral composite.

Uhlelo Lwezimpawu Zokukhomba I-Eastern Seawall iwuhlelo lwezimpawu zokukhomba olwakhelwe indawo yokuhambahamba egudle ulwandle e-Dapeng Peninsula, e-Shenzhen, e-China. Izigaba eziyisithupha ezihlukene ezigudle ugu olungamakhilomitha angama-32 zixhunywe ngolimi olulodwa lokubuka olubumbene. Amabhodi ezimpawu, amamephu endawo kanye nezethulo zemvelo kubekwe eduze kwemigwaqo nasezindaweni zokungena. Imicibisholo eyakhiwe ngokulandela ukugeleza kwamagagasi olwandle inikeza isiqondiso esicacile. Amabhodi enziwe ngokhuni oluqinile lwe-merbau olungagqwali, olunohlaka lwensimbi oluhlanganisiwe. Izakhiwo ezihlukanisekayo zivumela ukuhlanganiswa okuguquguqukayo ezindongeni zolwandle, ezitebhisini, emithambekeni nasemadwaleni, futhi zinciphisa umthwalo womoya esimweni sezulu esinosawoti nesinomswakama.

IHholo Lokubukisa Umkhiqizo I-Vanke DaJia yihholo lokubukisa umkhiqizo elitholakala eChangsha City, e-China. Ingaphakathi limbozwe indawo engamamitha-skwele angama-760 futhi laguqulwa lisuka esikhungweni sokuthengisa sangaphambili. Imvelo iyindikimba eyinhloko, futhi umbala omningi wokhuni udala umoya ozolile. Eminye imibala ithathwe e-Jardin Majorelle eMarrakech, eMorocco. Izinto ezisetshenzisiwe zibandakanya i-terrazzo empunga, upende wobuciko onokuthinteka, ukhuni lwe-oki olumpunga kanye ne-stainless steel ye-bronze eshaywe ngesihlabathi. Ihholo linesitolo sezipho, indawo yezimbali, ibha yekhofi kanye nezindawo zokufunda zezingane nabantu abadala.

Isethi Yezitsha Zokupheka ILena iyisethi yezitsha zokupheka ezingamacezu ayisishiyagalombili eyakhelwe ukupheka ekhaya. Le sethi ihlanganisa amabhodwe angamasentimitha ayi-18, angama-20 nangama-26, ipani elingamasentimitha angama-26 kanye nezivalo ezifanayo. Isivalo ngasinye siphethe uhlaka lwensimbi engagqwali olunezimbobo zosayizi abahlukene, ukuze ukudla kukwazi ukuhluzwa ngaphandle kwamathuluzi engeziwe. Isivalo singajikiswa ukuze kuvalwe izingxenye ezinezimbobo futhi kugcinwe umusi ngaphakathi emzimbeni. Umzimba nezivalo kunemiphetho eyindilinga kanye nokumbozwa kwe-ceramic okungaklwejeki futhi okulula ukukuhlanza. Izibambo ze-Bakelite ezimelana nokushisa zinikeza ukubamba okunethezekile.
