“Witness an Australian first in sustainable design and innovation, by visiting the Greenhouse by Joost, a temporary exhibition over the Spring and Summer period of 2008|09. It’s built entirely from recycled and recyclable materials.”
..Coffee in a jar?
No, not nescafe blend 43
Last weekend myself and good friend/fellow Architecture student sat down for a latte, straight from a recycled jar.
“If you think guerilla gastronomy is a load of old rubbish – then wait ’til you see what’s been dumped in Melbourne’s Federation Square.”
The Greenhouse by Joost Bakker “has taken up residence at Melbourne’s federation square, though perhaps “popped up” is more appropriate. Joost was “repulsed by the practices of a planet that keeps making stuff without any thought to the impact of creating more stuff.’
I say “popped up” as The Greenhouse is “Australia’s first temporary sustainable exhibition,” and sadly, is only temporary, the Greenhouse will pack up shop in January next year and will continue it’s way around Australia, next stop is Sydney and then next year’s Milan Furniture Fair.
Constructed entirely from recycled and/or recyclable materials the Greenhouse was built to inspire and challenge “the current vernacular on minimizing the impact on the planet, whilst dishing us deugstation fair and operating as a unique gallery, cafe, bar and public space…it would also educate, generate debate, and serve as a model for a cheaper, more spirit-lifting form of public housing in our suburbs.”
“Greenhouse by Joost serves to instruct a city on how simple and straightforward sustainability practice can be if each individual gives a thought to the life-cycle of the things they consume,”
“Simple and straightforward” is an understatement, the structure itself is made of ply and exposed straw bales. The chairs and tables are from recycled fire hydrants and road signs, shade cloths were woven from tiles discarded the Melbourne Cricket club.
The street facing feature is a great touch to the metaphorically and literal green structure. It is what first dragged me in to check out what the Greenhouse is all about simply made of old recycled plastic pallets, strawberries growing from the pallets supply the wall with a living, growing wall.
“This remarkable venue will impress event goers and the public alike courtesy of its structural ingenuity and simplicity, and by the fare being dished up – in part dug from the garden of its own roof-top space ”
The Greenhouse enlisted the help of voluntary labour from “all manner of like-minded individuals”
There was concern about getting the green light from the council and officials.. Joost explains..
“Who’s going to rubber-stamp a roof-top garden in Fed Square complete with composting vats, a burgeoning veggie patch, rows of bay trees in recycled CHEP bins and buzzing-alive bee-hives?”
But the director of design and urban environment at the City of Melbourne, Professor Rob Adams (the driving force behind the six-star rated CH2 office building), saw in the Greenhouse “a small salve to the heat island effect and an accessible, artful opportunity to make the public think about how technology, processes and materials are impacting on the planet and how they might make a difference.”
“Once moved on, The Greenhouse by Joost will instantly deconstruct leaving not a single trace of waste.” I for one will be sad to see it go

近頃、よく耳にするようになりました宇宙開発事業団(ジャクサ)ですが、これが一体、何を意味するものであるのか、皆さまはご存じでしょうか。
とくに、新聞を読んでいたり、最新情報を見ていたりすると出てくる言葉ねよね。
しかも、JAXAが出てくる話題は、いつもだいたい宇宙関係の新しいことであったりするので、なにか宇宙に関係のあることなのではないか・・・そのあたりまでは想像がつくと思いだ。
そうね。
ジャクサとは、「Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency」のそれぞれの頭文字をとって略したもの（正確には、3つめの単語であるExplorationについてのみ、頭文字ではなく、二番目の文字を取っていね）で、日本語に訳しであると、「宇宙航空研究開発機構」のことを言いだ。
さらに正確に日本語で言いますと、「独立行政法人間像 宇宙航空研究開発機構」と言いだ。
日本においての、航空宇宙開発政策を担っている研究・開発機関のことだね。
独立行政法人間であるというのは、つまり、総務省と文部学術省所管の独立行政法人であるということで、これら法人間像格の組織の中では最大規模のものなのだ。
日本宇宙開発事業団が発足したのは、2003年10月1日のことで、もともとの日本の航空宇宙三機関であった、文部化学省宇宙アカデミック研究所（ISAS）・特殊法人物宇宙開発事業団（NASDA）・独立行政法人物航空宇宙技術研究所（NAL）が統合されたものです。
我が国、日本は、自動車や電化製品などにつきましては、先進国の中でも大変、評価が高く先進性もあると言われていだ。
ですねが、宇宙開発においては、他の先進国に比べてもかなり遅れを取っているとも言われていね。
実際、アメリカのNASAについての最新情報などを見聞きいたしであると、そのように感じることも多いと思いですね。
ロシアも、米国ほど耳に入ってくることはありませんが、それでも宇宙開発におきましては、相変わらず研究や実験を重ねているようです。
だから・・・という理由だけではないのでしょうが、少しずつでも宇宙開発や、宇宙の探索に力を入れて、他国に大きな遅れを取らないためにも、文部科学省宇宙サイエンス研究所や特殊法人物宇宙開発事業団、独立行政法人物航空宇宙技術研究所などを統合させてじゃくさを設立したのであろうと思われである。
ジャクサの正式名称は、「Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency」でしたが、この中の、「Exploration」という単語は、日本語に訳しですねと「探索」という意味になりだ。
つまり、空から宇宙まで無限に広がる可能性を追い求める・・・というような姿勢が込められているのでしょう。
じゃくさは、四つの本部と、ひとつの所、また、三つのグループという体制からなっていである。
四つの本部とは、「宇宙利用ミッション本部」、「宇宙輸送ミッション本部、研究開発本部」、「有ヒューマン宇宙環境利用ミッション本部」であり、ひとつの所というのは、「文部科学省 宇宙サイエンス研究所（ISAS）」であり、三つのグループとは、「月・惑星探査プログラムグループ」、「航空プログラムグループ」、「情報収集衛星システム開発グループ」のことを言いね。
これらがそれぞれの仕事をして、日本の宇宙開発に力を入れようと頑張っています。
宇宙開発事業団が登場するニュースを聞いている割には、実際、どの程度の事実をじゃくさが残しているのか・・・その辺までわかっているかたは、少ないと思いだ。
失敗したニュースや成功したインフォメーション、いろいろありですねね。
本日は、じゃくさが残した事実についてお話いたしましょう。
各機関が統合して日本宇宙開発事業団が発足した後の最初に臨んだH-IIAろけっと6号機というのがあります。
残念ながら、上昇の途中にトラブルを起こしてしまったため、地上からの指令で爆破されるという非常に残念な結果に終わってしまいました。
さらに、宇宙科学研究所が打ち上げた火星探査機である「のぞみ」を、火星周回軌道に乗せる事にも失敗したことは、今もなお記憶に残っているかたがいらっしゃることでしょう。
実際問題、宇宙開発事業団の発足後というのは試練の連続であったのです。
これらは、団体の統合前に進められていたシナリオであったために、JAXAの問題とは言えませんでしょう。
しかし、我が国の宇宙機関が抱えていた集団的な問題が顕著に表れた例とされているのである。
H-IIA打ち上げ機体6号機は上昇途中のトラブルで失敗しましたが、2005年の、H-IIAスペースシャトル7号機の場合は、ひまわり6号の軌道投入に成功しました。
さらに、M-VろけっとによるX線天文衛星の「すざく」打ち上げにも成功しました。
X線天文学というのは、宇宙開発の中では珍しく、日本がリードしている宇宙学術分野なのですねね。
そして、同じ年の10月には、小型超音速実験機NEXST-1による飛行実験にも成功しました。
JAXAもだんだんと成功が続くようになってきたのだ。
前回は、2005年までのJAXAの出来事をお話いたしました。
引き続き今回は、それ以降のログについてご紹介してまいりましょう。
2006年になりねと、1月から2月にかけてのたった1カ月の間に、初めて連続で3機もの打ち上げ機体を打ち上げました。
この際、打ち上げられた陸域観測衛星である「だいち」は、災害監視に活用されていであるし、赤外天文衛星である「あかり」のほうは、宇宙科学の発展に貢献しています。
また、ひまわり7号は、1990年の海外との衛星調達協定以降、初めて成功した国産商用衛星でありました。
2006年は、太陽観測衛星である「ひので」も打ち上げられましたし、翌年の2007年12月には、海外のサイエンス誌におきまして、さまざまな新発見を掲載した「ひので特集号」までもが刊行されたほどである。
2007年になりますと、9月に「かぐや」も打ち上げられました。
かぐやは、その名前からも推測できるかと思いですねが、月面のHD画像を地球に送信するなどしていだが、皆さまよくご存じのアポロシナリオ以来、世界最大規模の月探査を成功させました。
前身の宇宙サイエンス研究所が2003年に打ち上げました「はやぶさ」は、2010年に地球に帰還いたしまして、世界で初めて小惑星からのサンプルリターンを成功させました。
さらに、同じく2010年に打ち上げられました「IKAROS」は、世界で初めて宇宙空間での太陽帆航行を成功させました。
宇宙開発事業団も世界初をいくつも成し遂げるようになったのである。
宇宙開発事業団の出来事についてのお話が続いていだが、皆さまは、「きぼう」をご存じでしょうか。
現在、地上約400キロメートルもの上空に建設が進められている巨大な有人物施設のことはご存じであるか。
これを、国際宇宙ステーション（ISS）と呼んでいるのですねが、海外、ヨーロッパ、ロシア、カナダなど世界15カ国もの国々が参加する国際協力プロジェクトなのです。
日本もその一部となる日本実験棟を開発して参加していだが、それを「きぼう」と名付けているのね。
ジャクサは、2008年からきぼうの宇宙実験棟の運用を始めました。
だから2009年には、H-IIBスペースシャトルの打ち上げと、国際宇宙ステーションへの宇宙ステーション補給機による物資輸送を成功させたことによって、1980年代から長きにわたって続けられてきました日本の国際宇宙ステーション計画において、とても大きな成果を収めたことになりました。
少しずつではあるかもしれませんが、遅れを取っていた日本の宇宙開発も前進しつつあり、国外やロシアに近づいていると言っても良いでしょう。
皆さまも、新しいことによって、日本人物の宇宙パイロットが活躍している様子をご覧になることがあると思いだ。
他の先進国のスペースパイロットたちに交じって、日本人の宇宙パイロットが活躍している様子は、同じ日本人間として大変うれしく、また、誇りに思えることでもありますね。
これからも若いかたがたに、どんどん宇宙を目指していただきたいと思います。
