Andrea Zittel meets college dorm

This is a great design. The video is well worth watching.
And if you dont know who Andrea Zittel is Click HERE and look at her works (specifically her 2003 A-Z Cellular Compartment Units in relation to this)

So this is fun

To advertise the wide variety of options available to cut hair in the salon JuiceHair in India, a picture of a man to his forehead, was pasted on the base of the escalator of a shopping and several different cuts in each of the steps.

I love this clock

This is an amazing clock. Each bead in the necklace is 5 minutes. The whole necklace is one solar day. The orange and red ones represent the whole hours. As the wheel turns, one bead falls off and drops down the string every 5 minutes. To tell the time you count the beads from either the silver bead (midnight) or the golden bead (noon) to the last bead that fell off the wheel.
You can take the necklace off the wheel whenever you wish to “stop time”. Wear it proudly round your neck as a statement that time is part of you; that you are in control of your own minutes.

So Jealous

This is an art school (Nanyang Technical University). I wish this was my art school. How freaking amazing does this look. I am so happy to be at Georgetown College and I feel blessed to have the facilities we have and we work hard to make them the best we can, but if we (Dr. Decker, Greg Decker, Darrell Kincer, and Boris Zakic) could sneak in on the weekend and steal this building...that would be great. So lets plan on sometime this weekend to be busy.

Points of Jealousy:
1)I wish I could have lunch on the lawn on the roof.
2)I wish that in giving directions to our school we could say "look for the building that looks like hole 7 on the mini golf course minus the windmill"
3)Each of our faculty could have a floor.
4)We could have our own art library (which Greg would run of course)
5)Our awesome factor would go up by many points

the list could go on but i am mainly stuck on number reason number 2.

Animal Rides

These are all gigantic mechanical animal vehicles currently on display in the French city of Nantes. While they just look like giant models, these things are fully functioning vehicles that people can ride in. Check out more as well as some video HERE

I love trees

Artificial illumination reigns to produce a sublime environment that works diligently to interact with a spectrum of human senses. An exploration of the space will tap into personal theories relating to natural capital and our worldview in relation to climate change – a term that is embedded with infinite meaning and consequence.

A projected tree, with a purpose to retrieve vital information, matures organically in response to a metaphorical fertilizer – insert a leaf and observe immediate evolution, an engrossing possibility for eco-systems of the world in need of nurturing. A temporary bastion for positive change, treasure your Natural Capital.
