In 1939, Frank Lloyd Wright designed a house that only now, after 74 years, was built in the campus of Florida Southern College. At the time, the house would have been designed for a teacher, but because of the Great Depression and Second World War, was not built until now.

The building emphasizes local materials and artisanal construction process, including about 2000 concrete blocks and 6000 blocks of colored glass, all handcrafted, used to build the walls of the house.

The use of photovoltaic solar panels on roofs is something we're already familiar with. However, if we think about sun-exposed areas, which sometimes reach extremely high temperatures, the largest surfaces are pavements.

This principle led a team from The George Washington University in Virginia, USA, to create the "Solar Walk" project, the first solar energy generator pathway in the world that includes walkable solar panels.
