The Radar: Dublin's Green Convention Center, More Hot-Air Balloons, and South America or Bust, 2011

• The Convention Centre Dublin, which claims to be the first carbon-neutral convention center in the world, opened earlier this fall. Its 22 performance and exhibition halls and meeting rooms are stacked vertically to minimize the structure's horizontal footprint. The center can accommodate 8,000 people and its atrium offers spectacular views of the Liffey River. [inhabitat]

• While you may have missed this year's Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, New Mexico, held earlier this month, enjoy this spirited time-lapse video of some of the action or check out photographer Bob Krist's pointers on how to shoot video at such a big and dynamic event. To find a balloon festival near you, in the U.S. or overseas, visit this directory. 

• Tour operator Myths and Mountains is revamping some of its South America offerings for 2011. Delve into rural life this coming June at the Inka Straw Bridge Festival, see traditional Peruvian artisans at work, or go birding in an Ecuadorian Cloud Forest.
