Iran protests

The protests started after the death of Mahsa Amini and now the have spread across the country. Mahsa Amini was arrested while visiting Teheran because of the way she had veiled her hair. Although the police announced she died of natural causes she was most likely tortured and killed by police officers who arrested her. A report from the Theranian hospital says that ‘’she has suffered a concussion from a blow to her head’’ and that was already dead when she arrived at the hospital. Protests have been spreading online despite attempts by the authorities to stop Iranians from using social media to learn about the incident. The protests have been held in Mahsa Amini’s home town Saqqez, Teheran and many more cities all over the country. There have been already over 41 deaths among protestors, at least 4 of the dead were children. I’m impressed by the bravery and determination of the Iranian people, in particular, Iranian women who have stood up against an oppressive rule of the Islamic conservatives at a great personal risk. I hope the they can force changes in Iran especially in the treatment of women and girls.

    To change anything, the whole political system would have to collapse, and this doesn't seem likely.

3D-printing house

Obraz
Three-D printing has become more and more popular over the past several years. It is a process of creating three dimensional solid objects by laying down layers of material until the object is fully formed. Now this technology is also being used to build houses. This alternative method of building uses robotic arms which print the house layer by layer just like a normal 3D printer but on a larger scale. This method is growing in popularity due to its many advantages. First of all the design possibilities are almost endless, secondly 3D printing is relatively cheaper than traditional construction methods. They are very quick and efficient. It’s also important to know that this building method is good for the environment. 3D printers create almost no waste and typically use more eco-friendly materials to build a house. Unfortunately, not all houses can be fully done by 3D printing and some will need conventional construction techniques to finish the building. Although this adds ...

Shipping container house

Obraz
The amount of excess shipping containers in the world has become a huge issue. Some of the used containers were only used once because it’s cheaper to produce new containers than to import them back to the producer. Architects decided to use them as a part of building constructions. This solution is not only sustainable and can help decrease the carbon footprint. It is also much cheaper than a standard building construction. Containers can be either brand-new - usually imported from China - or used and sold by local sellers. Although used shipping containers are more eco-friendly it’s important to check their condition and certification. Some of them can be damaged, some have been used to transport different dangerous chemicals or have other defects that make them unusable for house construction. Carefully picked containers can be a great alternative to a traditional house-building method. They are a perfect solution for building a low budget house while also helping the environment....
