PMCA exhibit:
The theme of this Fall art exhibit at the PMCA was sustainability in design.
I found many creations very appealing esthetically and functionally. I was very impressed by the Toyota Prius initiative. Not only we can lower green gas emitions in our outdoors, we can also contribute in making it a prettier place to look at, especially on city freeways.
The second thing that attracted my attention was the Icon A5 aircraft. With the capability to be flown out of ground, grass, water, it represents a possible future option for human commute.

Other designs geared towards outdoor activities were on display such as the Inflatable Kayak which allows for easy handling and storage in small transportation vehicles, and offers the same
advantages of traditional kayaks.

I also found the AR Bicycle really cool. With its scientifically studied aerodynamics and carbon fiber make, it is an example of modern technology and how it used to optimize human athletics and physical activities.

And finally the wing house, a house that was completed using real jet wings to serve as a roof. A prime example of how recycling can work in new environment and architecture in particular. While it is an attractive idea, it in fact quite costly to achieve such a result, as was experienced by the owner if the house during the building stage. Transportation cost for the jet wings and the logistics of keeping the wings intact, were particularly challenging especially considering the rural location of the house.
