The Guangdong Museum

Now this is what we thought the future(today) would look like!  At first glance this building didn’t look as big as it tuned out to be but after you hit the jump you will see for yourselves.  Designed by Hong Kong based firm Rocco Design Architects.

FlyNano

As much fun as the people seem to be having on this image, the FlyNano has to be one of the scariest flying “jetski” around.  It comes in three models — one electric, one gas, and one racing — and able to go up to 76 mph, up to 1.8 miles high, up to 43 miles away, all while weighing roughly 150 lbs.  $36,000-$39,000.

Unsolicited Architecture

Here’s a video about Unsolicited Architecture, a collaborative workshop initiated by Studio-X Rio + NAI in Rio de Janeiro Brazil.  In a 24 hour time period four teams were formed, four neighborhoods were explored (they each explored the neighborhood where the local architect’s office is located), held a brainstorming session, and then presented their ideas –  zero clients, zero budget.

Did you realize that…

Did you realize that….

There are only 3 countries in the world which do not use the metric system?  Liberia, Myanmar and the USA.  It’s lonely out there!  Wouldn’t it be nice if we could also use a universal electrical plug?
