Hi Jon. I just found out about pavegen which transforms kinetic energy from footsteps into renewable elctricity, really clever, simple and innovative idea. It's hopefully going to be used at the 2012 Olympics: http://www.pavegen.com/ ....Also, found this article that has some really interesting stories that may be useful: http://inventors.about.com/gi/o.htm?zi=1/XJ&;zTi=1&sdn=inventors&cdn=money&tm=293&gps=118_342_1020_581&f=00&tt=14&bt=1&bts=1&zu=http%3A//www.independent.co.uk/environment/the-worlds-greatest-green-inventions-414552.html

lindsey @ Eden Project
Hi there! Large scale landscape architecture projects are not that uncommon – particularly when working with internationally known firms. However, working on projects that emphasise a botanic collection are less common and are perhaps a more niche landscape architecture domain. There is always an element of being in the “right place at the right time” when it comes to gaining opportunities to work on distinctive, world renowned projects. However, to be involved with botanic garden landscape design there is one key component that will help put you ahead of the rest: knowing your plants! Now, during your course and as a graduate, put equal if not greater emphasis on knowing a comprehensive range of plant species at all strata of growth – ground layer, shrub layer and trees to match a range of soil and climate conditions. This will help you assess how the hard landscape elements interrelate with their surroundings and the softer elements which shoudl give you an edge over other candidates. I hope this helps and enjoy the course :-)
