the shelving // multi-dimensional shelving, defying the concept of the shelves as a series of horizontal structures // photo © Leo Torri The concept, a drop of water hitting the pond and creating ripples, was enough for AL_A to create an organic, ever-changing installation, the transit of people that create shadows which constantly transform according to the light, the animation, and the movement. “The lounge is about revealing the moment of change through visual complexity.” (via DuPont Corian and Amanda Levete_Architects | yatzer | Design Architecture Art Fashion +more

Sanyo’s Eneloop Solar Charger has been on our radar for awhile, and we like watching what new devices they come up with. They’re now planning on putting out a rechargeable lamp designed specifically to be a multi-tasker. Anytime a device is made to serve more than one function, our ears perk up. Plus, the interesting shape of this thing is enough to garner some attention. (via Sanyo via TreeHugger)

spanish architecture studio menis arquitectos won the competition for the jordanek music hall in torun, poland. the city is embarking on the project in an effort to win the bid to become the european capital for culture 2016. the new music hall aims to bring a world-class venue to the UNESCO protected old town in torun. the building site’s on a large plot, most of which will be used for park space. to keep the building unimposing, the architects kept it as low as possible. brick will be used on the interior to recall the brick facades of the historic buildings nearby and the exterior will be a light concrete that is intentionally cracked to reveal the red brick inside.

"If you can’t understand users, however, you should either learn how or find a co-founder who can. That is the single most important issue for technology startups, and the rock that sinks more of them than anything else."

How to Start a Startup Paul Graham

Is email a distraction? SelfControl is an OS X application which blocks access to incoming and/or outgoing mail servers and websites for a predetermined period of time. For example, you could block access to your email, facebook, and twitter for 90 minutes, but still have access to the rest of the web. Once started, it can not be undone by the application or by restarting the computer – you must wait for the timer to run out. (via Steve Lambert » SelfControl)
I’ve really got to get this paper done.
