The slides of Bjarke Ingels'presentation at TEdxAmsterdam
Danish architect Bjarke Ingels is the principal of the architecture firm BIG, based in Copenhagen. An alumnus of Rem Koolhaas’ OMA practice, Ingels takes a similar approach: experimenting with pure space, but never losing sight of the building as a solution to a real-world problem. In his talk, Bjarke Ingels rockets through photo/video-mingled stories of his eco-flashy designs. His buildings not only look like nature -- they act like nature: blocking the wind, collecting solar energy -- and creating stunning views.
His manifesto "Yes Is More" takes the form of a giant cartoon strip, 130 meters long, that reminds people to keep thinking big -- to see all our modern problems as challenges that inspire us.
Green5 Fares matter
The document discusses the "Be-Cycle" game which is a product of the Cycle Cities project made by Fares Matter! It provides a link to learn about the costs and conditions of intermodal cycle travel (bicycle transportation via train) across Europe. The link directs to a slideshare presentation on bicycle transport by train on the continent.
Green11 Discover the brave new world around you
The document describes a new game called "Be-Cycle" that was created as part of the Cycle Cities project to encourage people to discover the world around them by bicycle. It references a quote from Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days where a character notes that while it was acceptable for a man to travel the world with just a carpet bag, a woman could not be expected to do so under such conditions. It then suggests traveling by bicycle may be a better option and provides a link to the Cycle Cities project website for more information.
Green6 Travel? Bring your bicycle with you
The document discusses bringing bicycles on planes when traveling long distances. It encourages travelers to consider bringing their bicycle with them even when flying, and provides a link to information on bicycle transportation policies and fees for major European and American airlines.
Green13 Long stride cyclo-tourism is possible
The Be-Cycle game is a product of the Cycle Cities project that promotes long distance cycling as an excellent way to build empathy for both humans and other species, as experienced by Annika and Roberto in a video about tasting travels around the world.
Green8 More bikes is better!
The document discusses arguments for why non-cyclists could benefit from an increase in cycling. It promotes the "Be-Cycle" game from the Cycle Cities project and provides a link to a slideshare presentation on reasons to support measures to boost cycling.
Green10 Ask to change transportation policies
The document discusses the benefits of cycling for communities, including decreased congestion and pollution, improved quality of life through bike paths and open spaces, and economic gains from activity and lower taxes. It promotes asking governments to change transportation policies to support cycling more, as cycling infrastructure and policies, rather than industrialization itself, influence whether a city has more or fewer cyclists. The benefits of well-designed bicycle programs can substantially increase urban life quality.
Green4 More cycles, more space on the roads
The "Be-Cycle" game is a product that promotes cycling by highlighting its efficiency compared to cars. It notes that bicycles have a very high transportation capacity, with a 3.5 meter wide road able to accommodate up to 16,000 cyclists or pedestrians per hour, compared to only 2,300 cars with 1.3 passengers each. More information on cycling initiatives can be found by clicking the link to a presentation on trendy cycling in Italian cities.

Regular cycling can significantly improve cognitive abilities such as intelligence, memory, concentration and learning, according to various studies. A study with 30,000 participants found that cycling on an ergometer raised average IQ scores by 28% points, while other research on seniors found their IQ increased by 15 points on average after physical exercise. The rhythmic movement of cycling enhances communication between brain hemispheres in ways that boost higher cognitive functions even after exercising.

Violet10 cycling is possible also in big towns
The document discusses a public bicycle sharing scheme called "Be-Cycle" created by the Cycle Cities project to promote cycling in large cities like Paris, London, and Hamburg.

Additionally, having more cyclists in cities can make roads safer as drivers become more aware of pedestrians and cyclists.
Violet9 planning for cycling is possible
The document discusses a new regional legislation in Puglia, Italy that promotes cycling. It provides a link to a slideshow presentation on the new law and interventions to support cycling infrastructure. The legislation aims to make planning for cycling infrastructure and mobility possible in the region.
Violet8 morebikes feweraccidents
The document discusses a study from 1992-2004 in Salzburg that showed an increase in bicycle use of 40% led to a decrease in injuries per bicycle kilometer of about 40%. The study suggests that more bicycle use can reduce accidents, as promoted by the Cycle Cities project and their "Be-Cycle" game product.

The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem.
There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year.
But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language.
Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures.
In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.

- 1. The “Be-Cycle” game is a product of the Cycle Cities project made by Mind the bike rack! In October 2013 the famous Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei presented a new version of his incredible “Forever Bicycles” installation. As the centerpiece of 2013 Toronto Nuit Blanche, the all-night contemporary art event that takes over city streets, 3,144 bicycles, the most Weiwei has used of this work to date, were stacked 100 feet in length and 30 feet in height and depth in Nathan Phillips Square. Really impressive! Have a look at it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3wa6wx8lKM
