A Thread for Fine Design
-
I think the birdhouse tiles are ill-advised. Again the solar gain problem. Also I'd rather have a built-in elevator. Who wants to see that, much less ride in it (more than once
)Rest is looking good! -
Just saw this posted on Facebook. Thought someone would like it.

Such fine work.
This is by David Fletcher http://www.dbfletcher.com/
He has designed a few tables like this, mostly I believe for Yachts.
Bloody brilliant. -

Take my money already as this I want!

This project surely deserves a place in this thread - Picture updates on pages 1, 5, 7, 11 and the final product on page 17. I challenge you to make it all the way through without wincing.

OMG! That's all I can say!

In a sense this is out of the box for this Thread, or is it?
Japanese researchers say they've developed a way to decode your sleeping brain's activity using an MRI machine in real time - or in other words, "watch" your dreams. http://www.cbc.ca/news/yourcommunity/2013/04/scientists-learn-to-see-your-dreams-with-mri-scans.html
If this same technology can be applied to your memory, it could mean a the largest single change in the justice system since DNA.

I thought this new concept is very clever!

More of a great idea than fine design if you live with limited space.

Here's a slightly more refined production concept based on the same idea:

Plug It On The Window - Yanko Design
The Window Socket offers a neat way to harness solar energy and use it as a plug socket. So far we have seen solutions that act as a solar battery backup, but none as a direct plug-in. Simple in design, the plug just attaches to any window and does its job intuitively. Designers: Kyuho Song

Sorry for my laxness on the Thread. Just a time of a lot of output.
But I came across this. At first I thought it was just sculptures, and liked it any way. But it's relationship to the landscape had me thinking of a good friends thoughts on prairies versus mountains. He would say." I'm not fond of the mountains, everything is already done. But if you put a shape on the prairie, its effect is profound"

Patkau Architects designed and built the Winnipeg Skating Shelters in response to a competition, and to Canada’s impossible cold, but also to an unprecedented setting generated by the anomaly whereby a river that flows through the city of Winnipeg froze when the water level rose much higher than normal, producing an 'entropic' landscape (as Robert Smithson might put it), or a new form of urban wilderness. Faced with this situation – and with the task of installing shelters for chilly skaters

Some cool ideas.
