Connecta and their roommates built this wood wall from a huge stack of cordwood from floor to ceiling. Awesome. See more photos here.

Russian architects Arch Group have completed the first of their tiny hotel rooms for napping at airports. The Sleepbox unit at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport contains two beds and can be rented for between 30 minutes and several hours. The pod is equipped with LED reading lamps as well as sockets for charging laptops and mobile phones.

Imagine the situation where you are in a modern city, you are not a local resident, and you have not booked a hotel. It is not a comfortable situation because modern aggressive cities give you no opportunity to rest and relax. If you want to sleep while waiting for your plane or train, you face many security and hygiene problems. We believe that urban infrastructure should be more comfortable. For this purpose we have developed Sleepbox. It provides moments of quiet sleep and rest without wasting time in search for a hotel.

Possible locations for Sleepbox include:

• Railroad stations
• Airports
• Exhibition centers
• Public and shopping centers
• Accommodation facilities

Available options include:

• Matted film on windows with changing transparency
• Mood lighting – LED lamps with changing light colors
• Built-in media block (TV, touch-screen monitor)
• Wi-Fi router
• Alarm, intercom
• Safe deposit box
• Built-in payment station with magnetic keys

FLYLIGHT | Design Drift

FLYLIGHT is an interactive light installation composed of a minimum of 180 glass tubes.The glass tubes that light up and respond to the viewer are inspired by the behavior of a flock of birds and the fascinating patterns they seem to make randomly in the air. Actually this behaviour is not as accidental as it looks; birds have to keep a safe distance from each other. What will happen if an intruder interrupts their flight? This is what the viewer will experience when approaching the FLYLIGHT

episode32:

There is no place like these homes. Danish designers Ben & Sebastian show through vivid 3D renderings, real-life building sculptures and life-sized architectural models that there is a way to take our imagination – the architecture we dream of – and make it come alive.

City of the (Re)Oriented is one of their most incredible works, like something straight out of a William Gibson vision of a futuristic three-dimensional cityscape, an MC Escher piece for postmodern times or perhaps the urban pathways of our very minds. So what does it mean”The ‘map’ has long been useless in a city whose streets are continually reshaped by their walkers, vendors, sponsors, hobby street artists and salvation-sellers. In this anthill of possibilities only the most elastic orientation software can direct the city’s inhabitant through its myriad of shifting, tangled streets.”
