Sam Cochran and GROW were mentioned in this year's New York Times Magazine 9th Annual Year in Ideas issue.

The section is called 'Man Made Greenery', and can be found at this link. Thanks to the Times for the mention!

Solar Ivy and Grow were featured at Design Week Copenhagen 09 as an example of a way to minimize your environmental footprint by using renewable energy sources.
Grow is featured in the July / August 2009 issue of Architectures Avivre Maisons Magazine.


Les Débrouillards, a science magazine for kids that addresses the environment and technology, featured the hybrid Grow in the issue of June/ July 2008 as an example of alternative energy to inspire kids.

Grow and Solar Ivy are featured in the recently published book celebrating new developments in the field of surface technologies by Thorsten Klooster, Smart Surfaces and their Application in Architecture and Design.
Smit's GROW prototype was included in the book Design and the Elastic Mind.

The book is a catalouge of the exhibition (of the same name) that MOMA put on in 2008. For more information visit the exhibition website.
GROW is featured on the cover of Emily Pilloton's new book "Design Revolution: 100 Products that Empower People" (foreward by Allan Chochinov).

Book can be purchased here.
Tech blog Gizmodo discusses the GROW and the future of solar:
"

While the future of solar technology seems to rest on nanotechnological innovation, these GROW panels by SMIT are fairly remarkable. Inspired by leaves, these tiny generators do one better than their biological counterparts, drawing power from the sun, but also capturing energy from the wind as they are jostled by the breeze…"
