Here’s a rather fantastic design for a future London with “pods” as living spaces. I don’t know about now but in year 2050, this should be a common scene.
… adaptive ecologies brief explores the emergent logics of adaptation and evolution that are constitutive of ecosystems in nature. our vision is to define an urban ecosystem which supports housing and cultural programs and has the ability to adapt, transform, mutate and adjust according to the specific urban and social char
As a former nightclub-addict who has been practically to every nightclub in San Francisco and Las Vegas, I have to say this Lightfade LED floor might be perfect for nightclubs where clubbers can enjoy dancing and matching footprint fades. Boy, would I love to install these in my future home someday, I can have a party in my house!
When a pedestrian walks across Rogier Sterk’s interactive light floor, his or her weight displaces fluid contained within the panel system, leaving “light prints” for about one
Two of my favorite fast-foods are KFC and Taco Bell. I usually like to order 20 hot wings, corn-on-the-cob, and a large cole-slaw at KFC while I stick to like 5-6 regular tacos for Taco Bell.
Well, the news is that one of the KFC-Taco Bell branches are going “green”. Way too cool, I will be eating more KFC and Taco Bell for sheezy.

Here’s a cool DIY on how to build your own bat cave with hidden rooms just like Batman.
If you’re in the market for a Batcave—or just a place to hide your stamp collection—then Steve Humble of Creative Home Engineering should be your next call. The mechanical engineer turned secret-passageway builder started his Phoenix-based company when he couldn’t find anyone to build a hidden room for his home. “I thought that there would be a lot of people who would want a secret passageway in their house,” he says. “So I took a gamble, qui
The Dubai Ziggurat - Eco-Friendly Self-Sustaining Pyramid for 1 Million People!
Dubai seems to always spark the public’s interest with things like the tallest buidling in the world.
Well, here’s another great idea that might make it to production, an eco-friendly self-sustaining pyramid that can house 1 million people.
