After spending time at the Centre of Alternative Technology it had a curd to me that not all the building can be 'green'. When having the presentation from Jo the issue when building the WISE structure is to make the construction accessible to make for everyone and this in my opinion makes it less eco and less sustainable. However the resources that they have are a lot of slate and textures such as cork that they use for insulation and the wool and fibre glass. The idea of constructing one of their circular buildings out of just compressed earth has also shown the innovatory sensation they have brought to this place.
Around the sight consists of designs that they are being re-used in many ways. Take a gander at the photos and one of the inspiring ideas is the seat that rises up and down that is linked to the wind turbine. In your opinion that could not be relevant to the whole eco feel as it is not practical however this is still entertaining to the visitors. The other innovating idea that inspired me was one of the workers making beautiful things out of wood. The idea that you use your surroundings and make something new is totally what i consider as being ecological.
