THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX

The Stork Nest Farm - A project on Architizer
Location: Semtín, Czech Republic







...In this section we have placed a circular riding arena in the shape of a stork nest. It has an external diameter of 34 meters and height of 12,5 meters. The building is used for riding or for a variety of presentations, cultural and social events. Riding arena is located near the stables, and is directly connected to restaurant. The supporting structure is made of glulam timber beams. The external cladding is made of translucent polycarbonate. The oak logs, give the structure an expresive appearance and also provide shading. They were fixed to the building at the total amount of 200 tons at the length of 7, 9 and 11 meters...

One Piece Wooden Lamp Shade

As Core77 points out, he creates quite a bit of scrap for one wooden lampshade, but seeing things made on a lathe is mesmerizing.

power station at sea

Power Pump at Sea

Marco Paolucci’s S2S project aims to bring sustainable living to sea in the form of sea stations that tap into BioStream installations on the seabed. The BioStream devices exploit the perpetual motion of tidal currents converting their renewable energy into usable electricity. Ships can dock to a station and “fill up” on power as well as suplement their desalinated water supply.

Paper Cut printer

Paper Cut

Möwe – Dream Paper Concept looks at the possibility of having intelligent paper that prints, auto cuts and folds 3-D paper projects. A lot of folks indulge in 3-D scale models and it is an interesting hobby. Mac takes the idea a step further by suggesting that what if we could control “where and how far to fold and also when to fold via Bluetooth or WiFi, it means you could move paper as you like without touching it. (It’s like embedding Javascript in paper!)” Building models from Google 3D Warehouse would be child’s play even for the non-devout! Awesome!
