Green design in architecture and textile

Green design is more connected with architeure、textile and industry design. There are many examples all over the world. The home of life  is a sustainable residential project coming from Danish architects AART. Located near Aarhus in Denmark, this building is an  “Active House”, making a statement in the field of architecture by emphasizing on low energy consumption and a “low-carbon future”. Amazingly enough, this home produces more energy than it consumes. This is good example to prove the green design.
The second example, I want to introduce the polyfloss factory.This project is a new upcycling process.
The Polyfloss Factory is a micro-manufacturing machine and set of tools, that transform a widely available waste product (polypropylene) into a versatile and usable making material: Polyfloss. Using the principle of Candy-floss machines, they developed a new process transforming polypropylene in a foam-like material, easy to transform afterward.The technology  is not too hight too use. But it is a intelligent way to recycle the plastic and make them to be new form and new function.
According the two example, I consider that I can't keep my thinking at my professional filed. I should think more and do more practice. Sometimes just a little point is a key of big systerm. Like the polyfloss factory project, the designer use the very plain way to make the material better. For my field, I want to combine textile、 information and communication to design something that could help people decrease the waste and gave the object more useful.
