Blind Pig - Lusty Rai - with Chai Pani and Lusty Monk Mustard
In May of 2012, we were honored to be invited to participate in a special dinner hosted by Blind Pig Supper Club, an organization in Asheville, NC that seeks to create truly unique culinary experiences. We set up our camp kitchen under a pleasant summer rain on the grounds of the historic, mysterious and beautifully hobbit-like residence of one of Asheville #39;s most storied architects, Douglas D. Ellington. What unfolded was one of the most cherished experiences we #39;ve had in our short existence as a restaurant. From the magical setting, the delightful community of foodies, and the joyful camaraderie in the make-shift kitchen unfolded one of the most cherished experiences we #39;ve had in our short existence as a restaurant. We would like to extend our deepest thanks to Michael Moore and his team at Blind Pig Supper Club for this wonderful opportunity to live the joy of cooking. Visit Blind Pig online at blindpigofasheville.com Also check out Lusty Monk Mustard.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Please visit SAGE at Greenbuild booth #4353N and Viracon at booth #3676N
SAGE and Viracon today announced a marketing partnership at the U.S. Green Building Councils Greenbuild conference that will help architects and building owners improve the energy efficiency of buildings with glass while maintaining its design integrity. The partnership will enable architects to incorporate both high performance and electrochromic glass into buildings in a more seamless and color-coordinated way.
SAGE Electrochromics, the worlds leading manufacturer of advanced dynamic glass, and Viracon, the nations leading single-source architectural glass fabricator, are partnering to coordinate the exterior appearance of both electrochromic and high performance glass. Under the agreement, SAGE will market and sell a line of products that incorporates a Viracon exterior lite that is designed to complement other popular coatings available from Viracon. This product integration will give customers more aesthetic options for solving a variety of glazing challenges in their building projects. Both parties will work together to help architects and building owners understand and appreciate this new opportunity to use SageGlass and Viracon high performance glass on the same project.
SageGlass is electronically tintable dynamic glass for windows, skylights and curtain walls that tints or clears to modulate light, heat gain and glare. Rather than using conventional sun controls such as motorized window shades, blinds and louvers that tend to block sunlight and views, SageGlass provides a solution that conserves energy and enhances occupant comfort while preserving unobstructed views of the outdoors.
Architects and building owners are requesting window solutions that offer a variety of aesthetic options while meeting strict energy requirements. This partnership enables an architect to blend both static and dynamic glazing solutions on the same project while optimizing a buildings performance and appearance, said Kevin Anez, director of marketing and product management at Viracon. Our innovative technologies can be combined to complement a buildings design. We are pleased to be working with SAGE and look forward to advancing technological solutions for the building industry.
The partnership will be finalized at a ceremonial signing Wed., Nov. 14, 2012 at 3:30 p.m. Pacific time with SAGE co-founder and CEO, John Van Dine, and Viracon president, Kelly Schuller at the SAGE Greenbuild Booth #4353N.
The partnership combines the most advanced dynamic glazing technologies with Viracons leadership in architectural glass solutions, said Andrew Hulse, SAGEs vice president of sales. This partnership enables both companies to provide holistic glass solutions to our customers.

LONDON, November 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
British architects have potential to transform hotel sector
12 architects have been shortlisted in a competition to design the budget hotel room of the future.

Read the full story
The competition, organised by the UK's leading architecture newspaper BD and Bdonline.co.uk, invited designers to develop a scheme that would make a tiny space (14sq m) feel generous and luxurious.
With budget accommodation accounting for over a third of the new hotels being built in the UK, the competition was a chance to shine a light on the lack of design innovation in these buildings.
The shortlisted designs range from colourful capsule pods that can travel around the country to minimalist square boxes with interactive screens instead of windows.
One predicts the needs of visitors by collecting information at check in and via social media, while another uses low-tech stage-set technology from the theatre to hide a sunken bath under a sliding bed.
"This is a sector that's in desperate need of reinvention. Most budget hotel rooms are boring and purely functional spaces," said BD editor-in-chief and competition judge Amanda Baillieu.
