Architecture as a Product
The Dutch supplier of prefabricated modular homes – Being Development, has recently launched 6 being homes in The Netherlands. Designed by Nanne de Ru from Powerhouse, the homes are produced off-site, thus reducing waste (only 2% of waste can’t be recycled), high efficiency and offering the contractors a healthy environment to work in.

Finals around the corner? Need some energy? Need to buckle down and belt out the work like a fucking machine? Listen to this.

Stephen Coorlas : Sleek Comfort Bench
This design contrasts the typical "extruded profile" bench shape. The sweeping lines in this design inform a morphing profile, which allows different styles of use along its entire body.

LIC Cinema
This project explores the potential of extending a cinematic viewing experience beyond the 2-Dimensional screen and into the 3-Dimensional public space of the theater facility. This is achieved by situating the movie theaters so that its occupants can observe public scenes [including bars, restaurants, and lounges] through a transparent screen before the movie begins.
I need more juice....
With three weeks left of the spring semester I'm ready to call it quits. I'm tired of school, tired of the projects and just tired in general. Many others feel the same way so I know I'm not alone. Could this be a result of the environment we are in; the direction we are asked to follow- or simply, could it be that we just lost our creative juice?

Fluid Sculpture : Charlie Bucket
I happen to find this installation to be absolutely stunning. It was made and developed by Charlie Bucket and is composed of 80 ft. of 1/8” OD tubing knit on a 5.5” loom (blue ring.)
This was the prototype for fluid dress that was displayed at the '09 Maker Faire in San Mateo.

So I have never heard of poggled before and I don't know much about it other than it looks like groupon or living social. It looks as though they do deals with bars and clubs. Some of these deals look really hot! I say we all get on it and hit the bar together!! link below

Outro
I am a big fan of la roux, not her original stuff but the remixes produced from it. I have found that people love to dub out and mash up her music. I really like 'in for the kill'. There are a couple of good remixes out there, this one is pretty heavy though. It took a couple times hearing it to really like it. This is some serious robot music, it is kind of like a robot orgy in your ear. So play it loud! Enjoy and have a good weekend.

This project by UNstudio got me thinking about the purpose and emphasis of "Programming" in the architectural process. Below are some thoughts and ideas about how we as architects can modernize our programmatic approach and incorporate it more thoroughly into our designs.
Not long ago, Abe brought up the concept of improvisation within architecture and design. As a refresher, improvisation is:
"The practice of reacting, making, or creating, in the moment and in response to one's immediate interpretation of their surrounding environment. This can result in the invention of new thought patterns, new practices, new structures or symbols, and/or new ways to act or behave."
