More than Just Kilowatt HoursMore than mere kWh: Toronto artist, Sarah Hall, has created a stunning and inspiring installation, "Lux Nova", for the University of British Columbia's Regent College. The feature challenges viewers to explore the connection between the beauty of art and the preservation of our planet and its resources. The stained-glass tower incorporates an array of solar cells, collecting energy during the day to illuminate the park at night. The luminous column flows like a waterfall in silvery blues, violet and white, acting as a warm, glowing beacon for the community. Click here to download the PDF.

Art Meets SolarIt seems obvious, pairing stained glass with solar cells. It's a wonder it hasn't been done more.

"The Religious Imagination" by J.S. PorterIf you withdraw the sky from human consciousness, the earth withers. If you remove the possibility of the transcendent in human affairs, the arts - the means by which we express what it is to be human in a particular time and place - wobble and topple. Earth needs heaven for its vision, and heaven needs earth for its articulation. Click here to download the PDF.
