Garage Conversion
SHED Architecture & Design transformed a garage built in the 1920’s into a studio apartment in Seattle.
Here is the project description:
The project began with a 30 square meter single car garage, built in the 1920’s, that was in an advanced state of decay and in need of a new foundation. Local codes would have prevented replacing it with a new building and so the decision was made to rehabilitate it. The overarching goal was to maximize the density and utility of the small 300 square meter lot and this was achieved by creating a studio apartment to generate income for the homeowners, a workshop and storage area in the new garage basement to serve the main house, and by adding terraces, paths, and steps to the backyard.
The garage, elevated above a sunken yard on wooden posts was in need of a new foundation. The building was jacked up so that a new basement could be excavated and built beneath it. The basement contains a mechanical room and a workshop and storage space for the main house. The excavated soil was used to create raised terraces in the back yard.
The principal objectives for the living space was to make the most of the small volume in terms of function, light, and space while retaining its charming character. The A compact core was inserted that contains a bathroom, refrigerator, oven, clothes closet, and steep stair to the sleeping loft above. The angled walls of the core, clad in horizontal fir planks salvaged from another project, and the ceiling to define the kitchenette and office within the larger space. The plane of the sleeping loft extends into the living space to form continuous shelves under the interior shelf to define the kitchenette.
people overlook simple things
UNDFTD started as a sneaker boutique in Los Angeles, California and now what was just a retail space where you could find limited edition sneakers has transformed into a complete brand that offers a full collection of apparel and accessories including this new Fall 2010 Collection of socks. The UNDFTD Fall 2010 socks come in three different styles, a crew sock, ankle sock, and no show sock are offered with each style coming in three different colors.
STILL KILLIN IT!!!!
Japanese artist Takashi Murakami installed his wacky work in the Chateau of Versailles. The images are so completely contradictory that they look Photoshopped to me, with the pop-art pieces completely out of place in the gilded and opulent environment.

Kodaks first digital camera
This is Kodak’s first digital camera made by the Kodak Apparatus Division Research Laboratory in 1975.
It was a camera that didn’t use any film to capture still images – a camera that would capture images using a CCD imager and digitize the captured scene and store the digital info on a standard cassette. It took 23 seconds to record the digitized image to the cassette. The image was viewed by removing the cassette from the camera and placing it in a custom playback device. This playback device incorporated a cassette reader and a specially built frame store. This custom frame store received the data from the tape, interpolated the 100 captured lines to 400 lines, and generated a standard NTSC video signal, which was then sent to a television set.

SHEEEEETTTTT GREAT CONCEPT
In 2003, Florian Jenett and Valentin Beinroth placed about 50 handgun replicas in downtown Frankfurt. The guns were made from tinted ice, making them look real at first sight.
In 2009 they did a new edition of their Freeze! project but made the guns eatable by using coke, licorice, cherry and food coloring.
