A three-story apartment building features affordable rental units in multiple configurations. Apartments flank a hidden parking structure, setting a residential rather than industrial tone, and also enclose a second-level open-air courtyard. The front of the building is topped with a rolling green roof.

Oh and check what they have planned for the old pasta factory. Things changing in the town.
A defunct pasta factory and parcel of unused industrial land are reclaimed as small affordable apartments with a neighborhood-serving medical clinic.
And who can we thank for this progressive housing architecture; Habitat for Humanity
Twenty-two family townhomes are going up in cooperation with the local chapter of Habitat for Humanity. The recipient families of these homes personally participate in the construction of the buildings, with 500 hours of sweat-equity labor, which they are then able to purchase with an extremely low-interest mortgage.
Peep the solar panels.

Iphone D-SLR
Jeremy Salvador has designed the iPhone DSLR Prototype 1.0 that will actually work with the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G. Weighing at about 1.1 lbs, the chassis is a solid piece of anodized billet aluminum with dual handle-grips and 4 x 1/4?-20 female threaded mounting holes, so you can actually screw this thing into a standard tripod. Too bad, the lens mount currently fits only Canon EF lenses. Watch the video after the jump.

Paparazzi 2
The Hundreds has provided a detailed view of the new camera bag from their Spring season. It looks like a useful accessory for any photographer. Check out more details below.
The difference is between the Paparazzi backpack and Paparazzi 2. Aside from the price differential, the original Paparazzi is a better fit for the casual blogging photographer, the bag comfortably fits an SLR camera and a couple lenses or so, as well as acting like a typical laptop backpack.
The Paparazzi 2 is a little steeper in price, I admit, but worth it especially if you’re a more serious shutterbug. The backpack as a whole is larger, more spacious and luxurious (word to Home Alone 2). One of the best features for the active photographer is that the camera compartment has a side-entry so that you don’t have to take off the backpack to access your rig.
This is what mine looks like below, you can arrange the body and lenses however you want with the velcro shelving, and the top compartment of the backpack has all kinds of room. And of course, as with all our backpacks, there’s a laptop compartment in the back.
We are one of the only brands in our category who regularly offers multi-purpose backpacks accommodating photographers of all skill levels. It’s important because clearly, photography is an integral component of The Hundreds aesthetic and lifestyle.

TED Prize Winner JR & INSIDE OUT
TED Prize Winner JR & INSIDE OUT from TED Prize on Vimeo.
INSIDE OUT is a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work. Everyone is challenged to use black and white photographic portraits to discover, reveal and share the untold stories and images of people around the world. These digitally uploaded images will be made into posters and sent back to the project’s co-creators for them to exhibit in their own communities. People can participate as an individual or in a group; posters can be placed anywhere, from a solitary image in an office window to a wall of portraits on an abandoned building or a full stadium. These exhibitions will be documented, archived and viewable virtually.
