CR-Z Hybrid Sports Coupe



Honda has announced its new CR-Z Hybrid Sports Coupe will be released in North America next Fall. Dubbed the world’s first Hybrid Sports Car, the CR-Z (Compact Renaissance Zero) was introduced as a concept last year, but was officially shown off as a production car today at the Tokyo Motor Show. The lines on this coupe are breathtakingly beautiful, especially the mean-looking scoop front-grille. It will go on sale in Japan in February, before the 6-speed manual Hybrid (another first in the Hybrid class) hits the North American street in the Fall 2010.

Been awhile since i had a house post





centrifugal villa by obra architects is set on a 5 acre property overlooking an
agricultural reserve located in southampton, new york.

the centrifugal villa is arranged around a hollow center, as if the heart of the house
had somehow fallen outside its body. the string of subsequent spaces in its interior
provide a comprehension of the whole by sacrificing their individual geometric
cohesiveness to the fractured configuration of the entire composition. the experience
of the interior is characterized by constantly shifting vanishing points, at the place
of their collision in each crease of the plan, large openings cutting dormer scoops
on the roof, enabling views out to the surrounding landscape.

designed as wood post-and-beam structure, the exterior cladding is detailed with
vertical board and batten seams to give continuity to the building exterior and encourage
an uninterrupted rhythmic flow around the elevations. the house utilizes geothermal
heating and incorporates passive energy-saving techniques, including a narrow-section
interior to allow natural ventilation and a sequence and layout of dormer windows
and openings to permit generous daylighting and minimal artificial lighting needs.

the recently completed villa includes a main house, separate guesthouse and garage
structure, and poolhouse with poolside pavilion.

Umbrella Installation - University of Talca



This project by students at the University of Talca has a great simplicity and whimsical nature through the transformation of a vernacular object into a larger collective and mutated program. The installation defines the plazas and performance spaces without an intervention at the pedestrian level and gives the plazas an enclosed space without restricting exposure to light and air. I think it's a great idea and I wish the PS1 court installations were lighter like this one is, instead of mossy and furry blobs.

A lot of the comments on the ArchDaily site talk about the students copying other people's ideas of umbrella installations. I have said it before, there are no new original concepts architecture - the same principles have been in use for thousands of years, just with different skins. So be careful what you claim.

trapped



If any one of the people walking around the rim of this glass was paying attention and not chatting on their cell phone, they may realize that when this glass is being used they are all upside down. And any time you open a cupboard to get one of these glasses out you can see that even in the darkness of the cabinet they continue to talk. Get a whole set of these glasses and your cupboard will look like it is hosting a tech fair.

Nice



The Vers 2X is simplicity at its best – compact and sleek with a hand-crafted wood body and no junk in the trunk (check out its bare bones back). This iPod dock is designed to fit in a small space, while making enough sound to fill up a big room. Its busy remote control lets you manipulate the heck out of your music without moving an inch. For wood connoiseurs, it comes in Cherry, Natural Walnut, Dark Walnut and Bamboo. The Natural Walnut has a beautiful retro feel to it.

I was surprised to find out that each speaker system is built by hand over the course of a week, ensuring that every model is unique. In a world where iPod docks are built in the same way IKEA furniture is, a one-of-a-kind speaker at less than $200 (with a dollar going to planting a new tree) is made to last.

THE HONDA EV-N



The Tokyo Motor Show is coming up in the next few weeks and here is a complete preview of the new and very adorable Honda EV-N. It’s a retro-styled battery-powered car with a face of a pug puppy crossed with a Trabant and nifty concept-y features like swappable seat fabrics, a solar roof, and a “communications system” embedded in the black front fascia.

China? equality? FTL?



Once again China is showing the way forward in its approach to human rights, and we in the West could all learn a thing or two. Take, for example, people of restricted height, who often complain of discrimination. China’s dwarfs have the chance to live in their own special commune in the town of Kunming, in the south of the country. There, everybody is under 4ft 3in tall; they live in toadstool homes, where they dress like Oompa-loompas and put on musical extravaganzas when people come to visit. That’s liberation for you. Next week we’ll examine what similar kindly measures have been introduced for China’s Tibetan and Muslim minorities. Happy anniversary, People’s Republic.

1878



In 1878 lady liberty was not exactly all together. The massive head was on display at the Paris International Exhibition. Attendees to the exhibition could pay to walk around in her head. You have to admit its kind of freaky,very Planet of the Apish.
