ALOeTERRA was a 2007 Solar Decathlon competition entry by a group of LTU students.  The event took place in Washington D.C. from October 12th - 20th, 2007.  Schools from around the world were selected to participate in the competition.

The LTU team had quite a few obstacles to overcome and finished 20th out of 20 teams.  You can read more about their experience and the competition in general at the following sites:

It appears that LTU was not selected to participate in the 2009 Solar Decathlon.

ALOeTERRA will be featured in the final presentation of the evening at annual AIA Michigan Design Retreat.

The DIA, in conjunction with the exhibition Kenro Izu: Sacred Places, is organizing an online photo contest to capture images of sacred Detroit. While you can view all the submissions by visiting Flickr, only select photo submissions will be reviewed and published in a blog. 

The deadline for submitting photos is September 3, 2008.  The DIA has complete contest details.

Many of the images submitted so far are architecture related and quite moving.  I'll be keeping an eye on this Flickr group with interest.  Photo taken by Casino Jones.
