How To Write Congrats For Baby Shower

(Personal) Stay tuned ...

I do not really have time to write tickets for now, I am overloaded with work and this could be the case in the next 2 months.
The reason is simple: with Sister and friend, we will open our own architectural office ... yay!
After a little market research, we found an attractive location.
In a few days we will sign the lease for our future bureau.Nous have fallen on a good deal: a completely new building and fully develop (the false ceiling, the lighting system through the walls) ... c ' is ideal when you are demanding (prone pain in the ass) on decorating!
So for the time between appointments to the bank, the VAT in the accounts; with contractors and lighting ... I did not really have time devote myself to Arch * Idea but ... it's for a good cause.
I will most certainly work progresses on this blog ...

Fix Brookstone Phantom Rc Helicopter

(Miscellaneous) Ibar ... Intelligent surface system



All owners "lounge bar" should take a look at technology iBar developed by the British company Betaminds Ltd. . (Simon Hänggi Abt and Markus).

With a particular system, the Ibar transforms a "single desk" into an interactive surface.

From what I understand, he combines the technology of a projector and a ITS (Intelligent Tracking System) which can detect any object on its surface.

His concept of interactivity is very interesting ... and then what we would not distract the pillars of bar ...

As a video is worth a thousand words

Garage luxury



For the release of its new "model Executive " C6, Citroën appealed to the architectural Neutral partners (Tapio Snellman and Christian Grou) to design a box suitable - by setting mean garage - to the aesthetics.

According to Christian Grou, the C6 is so unique that it deserved more than an ordinary building brick or concrete .

The architects have not been using the back of the spoon given that the garage costs about 3 times more expensive than the car itself ... in other words, it takes € 165,650 (in Britain).

The garage is designed as a sculpture (small Zaha's touch?) used to wrap the car, protect it (logic), but also expose the public (less logical).

curves of the building take their inspiration from those in the car and the walls are mostly sliding translucent. Another plus: the vision control glass that can switch between a transparent state to an opaque state under the influence of an electric current. The roof of the building in turn comes as a terrace perched in the garden.

Suffice to say it takes a lot to love his car to offer him "this jewel."

Denise Milani Breasts Implants

(Complement) The Tate Modern, take 2


I just read an article a very good analysis of the widely circulated image of what the future Tate Modern in London (I mentioned some time ago) should look like ...

In the comments resulting from my post, I tried to explain (Or rather I mentioned) the deceptive power of the image, much better than I could do this article (in English) sets out clearly the issues of representation "advertising" ... [Artist's impressions]

How To Reset Briefcases

(Unusual) You had dreamed, the Chinese have done ...

A "small" Chinese supermarket offers customers to shop ... in small carts similar to those found in amusement parks.

Consumers in these devices sit quietly and do their shopping through the store.

Evolution ideas, customs, corporate, technical ... ok, but if it is towards this that we will!?
