Agora Tower In Taiwan

On the last and biggest parcel of land available for residential use in Taipei city, Vincent callebaut's twisting, foliage-filled 'agora tower' will preside over the rest of the urban xinyin district. The architect, known for his distinct Eco-vision, has designed a high-density space that aims at limiting the ecologic footprint of its inhabitants by forging a symbiotic relationship between the urban dweller and nature.

Tall planted balconies of suspended orchards, organic vegetable gardens and and medicinal greenery will take root in the high-performance building. In true cradle-to-cradle fashion, even the construction process transforms itself; industrial waste will be returned as a 'technical nutrient' to be indefinitely recycled. The helicoidal towers appropriate their form from the structure of DNA, conceptually speaking to the building blocks of life, as well as dynamism and twinning. Four types of housing units form a full level allowing their twisting forms to optimize space for open-air hanging gardens. The angled apartments additionally offer exceptional views of the bustling city by multiplying the transversal views of the overall east-west rhomboidal pyramid. Corbelled floors provide structure and privacy.

New Pope Benedict XVI

The cardinals of the Roman Catholic church on Wednesday chose as their new pope a man from almost "the end of the world". The first non-European to be elected for almost 1,300 years and the first-ever member of the Jesuit order. Jorge Bergoglio, the 76-year-old is known as a humble man who denied himself the luxuries that previous Buenos Aires cardinals enjoyed. He came close to becoming pope last time, reportedly gaining the second-highest vote total in several rounds of voting before he bowed out of the running in the conclave that elected Pope Benedict XVI.

The new pope appeared on the balcony over the entrance to St Peter's basilica more than an hour after white smoke poured from the chimney above the Sistine Chapel, signalling that the cardinals had made their choice. Dressed in his new white robes. Perhaps a little intimidated as he looked out at the sea of jubilant humanity in the square. The former Cardinal Bergoglio was not among the front-runners. But he obtained more votes than any other candidate except former pope Benedict in the 2005 conclave.
