"Rather than sending a constructed architecture to space, we send tiny robotic modules that are capable of reproducing themselves using in-situ materials. When enoughof the architecture of the colony has constructed itself- we send humans to inhabit it"

As we’re all aware by now, one of the worst environmental disasters in recorded history is underway in the Gulf.

As helpless as you may feel, you can do something right now by donating to a Gulf protection group like Save Our Gulf, the National Audubon Society, or the Greater New Orleans Foundation.

To get all of you involved this week, we’re replacing Tumblr’s usual ocean blue with a new heart-of-BP-executive black and letting you donate without leaving your Dashboard.

Donating will also unlock the Limited Edition Black Dashboard as an account preference.

"Architectural photographer Bruno Cals shoots some of the world’s most drooled-over buildings.
