I'm surprised no one has commented on this...Johansen was a very important figure in theoretical and sustainable circles and WAY ahead of his time. I recommend to anyone who does not know about him to check out his book "Nano-Architecture," or to view his lecture on the Sci-Arc Media Archive from 1993. He will be greatly missed.
