“Creativity is the unique and defining trait of our species,” writes biologist E.O. Wilson in The Origins of Creativity (Liveright, 2017). It is also, he argues, fundamentally biological. While architecture inspired by naturally occurring phenomena is nothing new, biomimetic materials and production methods are still making substantial inroads in the architecture and engineering industries. The following biobased products and technologies inspired by living organisms paint a compelling and creative future for the built environment in 2018. Reclaimed Wood No list of current material trends should be devoid of wood. As examples of tall timber construction make frequent news headlines, architects and designers are looking to other wood-based products for environmental and aesthetic reasons. Repurposed wood fulfills both objectives, providing the visual

and tactile warmth of wood with a lower ecological footprint than other materials—including virgin wood. Netherlands-based Houtmerk makes Replex, solid wood panels made from pieces of recycled wood. The laminated boards provide visual evidence of their former lives as discarded furniture, including the profiles of decorative moldings. British designer Tristan Titeux makes wood furniture in a similar way, by combining strips of waste materials. His Milo series consists not only of reclaimed solid wood, but also of reused particle board, plywood, medium-density fiberboard, and other forms of engineered lumber. Though not all repurposed wood products are visually pleasing or well-crafted, both Houtmerk and Titeux have devised successful means of aggregating similar cuts of old wood in aesthetically striking wholes.

TAURUS APRIL 20 - MAY 20
GEMINI MAY 21 - JUNE 21
These days you prefer anonymity over being recognized. Meaningful interaction can be a burden for Aries when the Moon is in Cancer. As popular wisdom has it, ‘Wherever you go, there you are.’ Stop running.
Forgive others for their human failings. In a different light, you could be looking at the features that make people strong and desirable. Brilliant ideas spring from simple errors.
The first step toward getting ahead is breaking even. Cut costs without cutting too many corners. A grouchy mood obscures the signs of a positive trend. Live your goal as well as proclaiming it.
CANCER JUNE 22 - JULY 22
LEO JULY 23 - AUGEST 22
VIRGO AUGUST 23
Stand tall amidst the drooping and exhausted. You own this day, and you welcome others to join you here. When the Moon is in Cancer, your life is comfortable, productive and inclusive.
Self-importance cringes at the approach of judgment. Leo feels fragile and unprepared. For Fire Signs like you, the Cancer Moon is a cosmic mother who comes to override and protect. Try to feel validated.
SEPTEMBER 22
The rules of an accepting crowd are worth following. You’re fast and direct, but also very sensitive when handling delicate objects. Be happy with the clear divisions between professional and social lives.

Act from your observations. Your world is a customized puzzle that only you know how to assemble. Scorpio’s aggressive Martian nature is wonderfully mellowed by the Cancer Moon’s soft influence.
Nothing completes a difficult job like unusual pairings and partnerings. Even loners have to admit that they couldn’t have accomplished nearly as much without foreign input. Consider further joint projects like this one.

Like the latitude lines on the globe, Capricorn and Cancer are parallel and in opposite hemispheres. You’re similar, but you never see eye to eye. The Cancer Moon makes you naturally uneasy. Since you can’t fix it, pretend that nothing’s wrong.
The situation that you’ve so carefully set up no longer seems fun. A private matter ought to stay that way until you work it out. The moment that you voice your doubts, others will begin to worry.
Any difficulties from the weekend are gone without a trace. Pisces stands directly on top of the buried treasure for which they’ve been searching. Share your discovery with those who helped you get here.
It’s easier to run than to fight. Libra is unwilling to pay for what they feel should be free of charge. Check your measurements to see if your old self-image is still an accurate fit. Adjustments may be necessary.

The Healthy Benefits of Tea
Vitamin
+ Drinking at least two cups of tea a day may dramatically reduce a person’s chances of dying following a heart attack, a study suggests. Researchers said they suspect properties found in black and green tea may be protecting the heart. “The results were more dramatic than I anticipated,” said Dr. Kenneth Mukamal, who led the study, which was published May 6, 2002 in the American Heart Association’s journal, Circulation. “Even if the true effect of tea is less than what we found, it could still make a sizable difference in heart attack survival.” The heavy tea drinkers in the study those who drank two or more cups of tea a day had a 44 percent lower death rate following their heart attack, compared with nondrinkers. T he study found even a benefit in moderate tea drinkers. Those who drank fewer than 14 cups a week had a 28 percent lower death rate. In the study, researchers asked 1,900 heart attack survivors about their tea consumption before their heart problem and followed them for up to four years. “The most important outcome after a heart attack is whether they lived or died,” said Mukamal of Bet Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. “This is a high-risk group of people who are prone to another heart attack or other heart events. To imagine that tea might lower this risk is very exciting.” 10

Stress Reducer Long stressful days at work, lack of exercise, too much convenience food that is high in fat and sugar but low in fibre, can all take its toll. A well-earned tea break is often the way to catch your breath, but it can also be beneficial to your heart. That’s because studies from around the world are finding that the active ingredients in tea may help towards maintaining a healthy heart. A national study of 1,764 women in Saudi Arabia showed that tea drinkers were 19% less likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease than non-tea drinkers. In Holland, 806 men who consumed the greatest amount of catechins (a type of flavonoid) were 51% less likely to die of heart disease during the 10-year study period, compared with men who consumed the lowest amount. Further studies are looking into how tea could be beneficial for your heart. The results from trials so far show that flavonoids may prevent the oxidation of the so-called bad cholesterol in the blood that leads to the build up of plaque in artery walls, as well as protecting the blood vessels from inflammation and inhibiting blood clot formation. Still more research is being conducted everyday which continues to point to tea being beneficial for consumers.
11
The Caffeine Controversy
tro-
Contrary to popular belief tea does not contain more caffeine than coffee, it actually contains almost half the amount. Caffeine is a natural substance found in many types of food and drink. It’s also a stimulant so a cuppa can give you a much needed lift and revitalise you for a demanding and tiring afternoon ahead. With caffeine like many substances moderation, not excess is the key. Research shows that moderate amounts of caffeine, 300 mg per day (or 7 cups of tea!) are safe for most people. Aside from water, it’s the most widely consumed beverage in the world. And some researchers say there’s growing evidence that tea, plain old black tea, packs positive health benefits. Others dispute that. “We do not find that tea is protective for clinical heart disease,” said Dr. Meir Stampfer of the Harvard School of Public Health.
Tea Helps The Heart - A Mystery Some recent studies seem to show that tea drinking slows the progression of coronary artery disease, and reduces the risk of stroke and some cancers. But no studies have shown exactly how tea seems to work inside the body, until now. The research, paid for by the North American Tea Trade Health Research Association, followed 50 patients with heart disease. 12

Types of Tea Black * Black teas come from the leaves of the plant Camellia sinensis. * These teas come mostly from plantations in Africa, India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. * Research suggests that drinking black and green teas may help prevent cancer and heart disease. It is thought that flavonoids -- a type of antioxidant in the tea -- neutralize free radicals. Free radicals are naturally occurring molecules that form when the body is damaged through aging and exposure to pollution, sun and cigarette smoke. Free radicals further damage the body and can set the stage for cancer, heart disease and other serious illnesses. * Types of black tea include Lapsang Souchong, Keemun and Yunnan Green * Green teas are also made from Camellia sinensis, but through a process that differs from black tea. * Green teas come from countries in the Far East such as China and Japan. * While flavonoids in green tea are different from those found in black tea, the total level and their overall antioxidant activity are similar in both teas. * Types of green teas include Gunpowder, Chun Mee, Oolong, Ti Kwan Yin, and Pouching White * White teas are the rarest in the world, produced on a very limited scale in China and Sri Lanka. * Pai Mu Tan Imperial and Yin Zhen are types of white tea. 13

One morning, I got away by myself for a stargazing and sunrise tour of Mauna Kea, the million-year-old dormant volcano whose summit is the highest point in the state of Hawaii. “Thank you for not being afraid of the volcano, and the hurricane, and the 2 a.m. wakeup,” said Justin Larkin, our driver and guide from Hawaii Forest & Trail, as the Sprinter van carrying 14 bleary- eyed travelers bumped up the side of the mountain in the predawn light. He explained that the ancient Polynesians had thought of Mauna Kea as the belly button of the Hawaiians. The sunrise, when it came, was ravishing, like filagree lace edging the cloud cover before rushing further to flood us with celestial light. Just as remarkable to me was the shadow Mauna Kea projected onto the atmosphere in the opposite direction, not far from the southern coast of Maui, which was visible in the distance Maui, Larkin had told us, began life where Mauna Kea is now, before wandering over the eons to its current location.

BEST (HIDDEN) PLACES IN HAWAII Kauai’s Spalding Monument The monument itself, built to honor a former plantation manager, is not the real goal of your outing. The visit is worthwhile because of the views and the hikes. The sugar plantations have closed and future use of the land is not certain, so this is a good time to enjoy the sights here. You get there by going north on Kuhio Highway from Kapaa, and turning left onto Kealia Road. Keep right past the closed post office, and head uphill on the paved road through bougainvillea; the road becomes pothole paved. Pass pastures on the left and cane fields on the right and look for the line of Norfolk pines up and to your left, which mark Spalding Monument. The SPALDING STROLL is down the dirt drive fringed by tall Norfolk pines that lead away from the palm-encircled monument. You get some blue-water looks of the Kapaa coast and closeup views of a moist woodland valley. This hike will delight bird watchers. In about a mile, where a road veers to the right, the path you’re on starts to drop steeply. The road continues down to a valley inland from Kealia, but you’ll probably want to turn around. WAIPAHEE FALLS, once a renowned tourist attraction, has been fenced off and closed for years due to flash flood and other hazards. Still, the walk to KANEHA RESERVOIR, near the falls, is beautiful, taking you through scenery evoking the green hills of Africa. The trailhead for the falls is down Kealia Road. As you face the gate at Spalding Monument, go .5-mile to your right and look on your left for a Kealia Hunter Checking Station, Unit C mailbox. Park there. At first you will get only occasional glimpses of the Anahola Mountains on your right. At .3-mile, veer left when you have a choice, and at 1 mile also go left as you pass a paved airstrip on your right. Beyond the airstrip, views open up, and in another .25-mile you reach the road that comes in from the locked gate at the monument. Continue to your right on the road. At about 2 miles in, you’ll start to get big views of the Makaleha Mountains to your left, and, in the mid-distance, of fleecy monkeypod trees scattered over line-green slopes. At 2.75 miles, take a left fork in the road that leads to the reservoir and fenced -off spur trail to the falls. 17
TRAVEL TIPS Agricultural Inspection The US Dept. of Agriculture says, “American agriculture is under con- stant threat of attack from countless enemies. These enemies are often microscopic and include plant pests and disease.” To prevent the unknowing transmis- sion of these hitchhikers, all passenger baggage moving from Hawaii to the US mainland is subject to predepar- ture inspection at the airport. They ask that you be prepared to open and close your own bags. All agricultural items being mailed must be inspected prior to being taken to the post of ce. You must notify the inspector if you have any agricultural items with you. Purchasing items from nurseries and fruit sellers that are quali ed to certify them for you takes the worry out of the process. They will package and stamp any-
18
thing you wish to take that is on the “Permitted” list. Nothing makes everyone back home as happy as fresh Hawaiian fruit, or lovely or- chids and tropical owers. Agricultural items PERMITTED into the mainland after passing inspection: Beach Sand Coconuts Cooked foods Dried seeds Dried decorative arrangements Fresh owers (except gardenia, jade vine, and mauna loa) “Irish” or white potatoes Pineapples Plants and cuttings must be certi ed to be free of pests by the HI Dept. of Agriculture Seashells (except land snail shells) Papayas require treatments before shipment to the mainland. Commercially canned and throughly cooked foods are permitted. Agricultural items NOT PERMIT-

Of course, I had promised Agnes that she’d get to see a volcano too, so the hotel had also arranged a tour for us with Paradise Helicopters. As we drove through the lava fields toward the airport, Agnes’s existential questions took a more personal turn: “Papa, why, in our family, aren’t there three children? Why are your parents alive and mama’s aren’t? To my relief, we were soon aboard the helicopter with our our affable pilot, Keith Darby, who informed us and our fellow riders, also Four Seasons guests, that he would do his best to “entice us out of the Garden of Eden.” He kept up a steady patter about the magnificent sights below us, from the perfect white-sand beach where Captain Cook met his end to the green, mist-enshrouded coast above Hilo, once the site of an ill-fated railroad. Rex was airsick, and whined until he fell asleep. Agnes was most excited about asking me questions over her headset, until she too fell asleep We circled the black-and-umber crater of Kalauea a few times, trying to see in, but the view was obscured by a giant puff of steam and what Darby called the storm’s “residual gunk.” “Not to rub it in,” he said later, when he put down the helicopter for a quick picnic on a secluded mountaintop, “but the lava flow was amazing until August.” Of course, the disappearance of the lava has in many ways been good news for the Big Island, which was able to reopen Volcanoes National Park a few weeks after we visited (now sans lava). Agnes told me afterward that she hadn’t seen the volcano, but it was okay, because she’d had fun in the helicopter. And while we didn’t get to see lava — or do other things, like snorkel, that we’ll do the next time — it was okay, because we’d had fun in Hawaii. One morning as we enjoyed the incredible breakfast buffet at Ulu, I chatted with our server, Tiffany, about Lane’s near-miss. “For those of us who grew up on the island, each day is its own day,” she told me.You get into that mindset very quickly here. The next morning, Tiffany was our server again, and she pointed out a pod of dolphins that had surfaced off shore. Agnes and Rex and I rushed to the beach just as one corkscrewed its body up out of the water and landed with a splash.Agnes turned to me, her face alight. “We saw — ” She could barely get the food.
