Cascade Green & President Obama

Beer’s going green, well not quite, but the way Cascade go about brewing their beer is; Bart Cummings wins his 12th Melbourne Cup when the threat of it being taken away by the ever growing overseas contingent looms and Barack Obama is the new president of the United States of America. What a day for the planet, the world and hopefully peace, love and humanity. Have been watching the US Election news feed via ABC World News all afternoon and feel that this is one huge step for mankind. I don’t know why I am so elated by this news, I have tears in my eyes just watching the people of America get so excited about Obama. Just feel he might bring about huge change, not just for America, but hopefully the world in ways we haven’t seen before. Here’s hoping. Just had to add that because it has nothing to do with this post about Cascade Green and their recent launch at the Malthouse Theatre in Melbourne. First thing about this launch is that John potted plants (which I don’t recall him ever doing before) and put a Cascade Green decal on the terracotta pots (something he is much more familiar with) filled with native callistemons. Apart from that and more up our alley is the external cladding on the building next to the Malthouse Theatre, known as the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (acca) which I often get to view as I turn off the Westgate Freeway onto City Road. Here they have used Corten Steel with an amazing visual result. You can almost feel the dense texture of this material and the deep rust colour looks amazing against a bright blue sky - would like to clad the upstairs addition to our house in this, hmm not sure the expense though. Corten Steel as a material is often used in urban, landscape, commercial and residential design due to its strength, external durability, colour and texture aesthetic. It is also a good structural and aesthetic element for signage for all the same reasons.
