FROZEN SMOKE

Aerogel, also know as 
frozen smoke, 
is the world’s lowest density solid, clocking in at 96% air. 
If you hold a small piece in your hand, it’s practically 
impossible to either see or feel, 
but if you poke it, 
it’s like styrofoam. 
It supports up to 4,000 times
its own weight and can withstand a direct blast
from two pounds of dynamite. 
It’s also the best insulator in existence.

GRASS ROOFS

For hundreds of years houses in Norway 
have been covered with turf. 

ADVANTAGES
 They are very heavy, so they help to stabilize the house

 they provide good insulation; and they are long-lasting. 

Turf roofs in Norway are a tradition and you will see them everywhere. 


Every year, since 2000, an award is also given to the best green roof project in Scandinavia by the board of the Scandinavian Green Roof Association.

SOUND OF OCEAN

The sound you hear 

when you put a seashell next to your
