The Heliotrope is Germany’s first eco and energy-friendly house. Designed by architect Rolf Disch, this is the first PlusEnergy house in the world. The architect created this house as his private residence in 1994. This house produces more energy than it uses and the energy it produces is emissions free. The house rotates to track the sunlight and harness maximum energy of the sun in the form of heat and light.

If you wish to trouble your neighbours, the Skinny House is a nice idea. It was originally built as a Spite House – to upset the neighbours. Located in the North End of Boston, Massachusetts, this house is the narrowest house in the city. There is no clear evidence to support the reason of its construction. However, according to a legend, one of the neighbors built it to block the sunlight and air of another neighbour.

Nikolai Smirnov began building this ‘wooden skyscraper’ in Arkhangelsk with the intention of making it only a two-story building. But a trip to see wooden houses in Japan and Norway convinced him that he hadn’t used roof space efficiently enough, so he kept building. “First I added three floors but then the house looked strange, like a mushroom,” he said. “So I added another and it still didn’t look right so I kept going. Whatyouseetodayis a happyaccident.”

Polish businessman and philanthropist Daniel Czapiewski built The Upside Down House as a statement about the end of the world. The house stands on its roof while visitors walk on the ceilings. It took 114 days to build because the workers were so disoriented by the angles of the walls. It certainly attracts its fair share of tourists to the tiny village of Szymbark, who often become dizzy after just a few moments inside.

It seems a crazy idea, but it is a house. The Stone House is situated in the Fafemountains of Portugal. Sandwiched between two stones the house is said to have been inspired by the American “Flintstones” cartoon series. Although it may seem rustic, there are some amenities, which include a fireplace and a swimming pool – carved out of one of the large stones. Thehousedrawsmanytouristseveryyear.

The Hobbit House in Wales sure makes for some delightful photographs! It’s not surprising since a photographer is responsible for creating this house. With some help from his father-in-law, he was able to build this house using all natural materials and only $5,200. His goal was to create a living space that resembled houses from the fantasy novel “Lord of the Rings”, and within
4 months the dream was a reality.

Berlin-based architect Van Bo Le-Mentzel has created “One Square Metre House” – probably the smallest house in the world. It’s a wooden structure, which uses only one square meter of space and can be used as a dwelling place, mobile kiosk or even an extra room inside your apartment. Because of the flipping mechanism, it can be used both vertically or horizontally. It consists of a wooden frame, slide window and a lockable door.

Start of college life: how I coped with fear

For the last two years I’ve been working really hard to pass all my exams successfully and to get accepted to college. And yet college seemed to be the scariest thing that I could think of. Whenever I thought about it, my stomach would immediately begin to spin in circles. Although I was ready to go off and be by myself and meet new people, I was scared to death at the same time. I pictured hard classes that I wouldn’t be able to keep up with, people that wouldn’t like me, long hikes to get to my classes, and horrible food. I couldn’t imagine leaving the security of my own room, my own stuff where I want it, my friends that I’ve spent practically my whole life with, my family who put up with all my little quirks.

Everyone else that I talked to, however, didn’t seem to have this problem. They all were thrilled at the thought of being on their own and not having to worry about their parents telling them what to do or not to do all the time. And, sure, the thought was extremely exciting to me as well, but how would I survive without my family and friends and the things that had taken me eighteen years to get used to?

The summer before I came to college was probably the most fun my friends and I ever had. We all knew that in September things would never be the same again and we had to make the most of it while we still could. As the end of August rolled around we knew that it was time to say goodbye and be on our way to our own independence. I packed up the memories of the last eighteen years of my life into about five suitcases and was ready to go. I still didn’t feel like I was just as mature as my older college friends and I thought that I still looked like I was twelve years old.

We finally made it to the doors and began unloading my clothes and the eight million bags of food that my mom had packed for me. I still was unsure about sharing my room and not being able to have the privacy that I had back home. I was worried that the little habits that I had might annoy my roommate and that my roommate might have just as many annoying little habits that I might not be able to handle as well.

After I had all my things unpacked and put exactly where I wanted, my roommate and I decided to go around our hall and see whom we would be living with for the next two semesters. As we went around to different rooms and met different people my nervousness seemed to diminish. I began to realize that not everyone here knew everyone else and most were just as anxious and nervous about being here as I was. It worked. I started to feel better and was actually kind of excited about living here all by myself.

I still miss the security of living at home (and I wonder who would blame me for this feeling) and, most of all, home-cooked meals that are nonexistent here and the friends that I grew up with. But I know that we’ve all changed and those memories are just that – memories, no matter how pleasant they might be. And when times get too tough, my mom is just a phone call away. But I’m not too quick to call her and have her solve my problems. I’ve learned that I can usually work things out by myself. I’m glad that I’ve gone through these changes in myself and it makes me realize that I don’t need to fear change, that it’s just a part of life that everyone has to go through sometime.

A A group of university students from Brazil have been given the job of discovering and locating

all the waterfalls in their country. It is not easy because very often the maps are not detailed.

The students have to remain in water for long periods of time. Every day they cover a distance of

35 to 40 kilometers through the jungle, each carrying 40 kilos of equipment.

B Another generation of computer fans has arrived. They are neither spotty schoolchildren nor

intellectual professors, but pensioners who are learning computing with much enthusiasm.

It is particularly interesting for people suffering from arthritis as computers offer a way of writing

nice clear letters. Now pensioners have discovered the Internet and at the moment they make up

the fastest growing membership.

C Not many people know that, back in the fifties, computers were very big, and also very slow.

They took up complete floors of a building, and were less powerful, and much slower than any

of today’s compact portable computers. At first, the data they had to process and record was fed

in on punched-out paper; later magnetic tape was used, but both systems were completely

inconvenient.

D Potholing is a dull name for a most interesting and adventurous sport. Deep underground, on the

though, that it can be quite dangerous. Without the proper equipment you can fall, get injured or lost.
