http://www.kohler.com/karbon The new Karbon Articulating Faucet demands attention with its robotic-like features and hyped up introduction at KBIS (every hour a dance troupe would perform with themes relating to water, innovation, and of course fluid movement). Product details: With its clean, crisp lines, the Karbon articulating faucet introduces a new geometry of versatile functionality to the kitchen. Intelligently engineered to hold any pose for hands-free operation, Karbon allows you to streamline your work surfaces and workflow. You can extend the faucet fully to fill large pots, lower it into the sink for food preparation and cleanup, fold it compactly out of the way when not in use, or position it anywhere in between.

MVRDV presents vision for Grand Paris 2030. This animation presents MVRDVs vision for Greater Paris 2030. The project Paris Plus petit by MVRDV in collaboration with ACS and AAF is one of ten proposals by international architecture and urbanism teams to envision the future of the French capital and its vast agglomeration. The urban challenge has been commissioned by Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France. Paris Plus stands for more: more ambition, more optimism, more density, more efficiency, more ecology and more compactness. Greater Paris needs a strong combination of responsibility and ambition to continue its development, to ensure its consistency and to develop a cohesion that can build a base for a collective enterprise to solve its problems, to enlarge its presence and attractiveness, to create an even more remarkable, exemplary city. MVRDV with ACS and AAFs response for President Sarkozys 2009 urban planning consultation for the great challenge of the Greater Paris area is represented in four parts: the Synthesis, the City Calculator©, the Data and the Observation. The Synthesis defines the spatial agenda for the city, based on ambitious and responsible strategies for the French capital. It is the core of the response and proposes a series of 17 large scale interventions that are based on an analysis of the citys fabric, its future programmatic needs and spatial possibilities. The proposals are interventions based on available space and feasible. Among them the ambition to make Paris highly accessible: the creation of a grand central station at the location of Les Halles, underground densification of the Boulevard Périphérique by adding a metro line and two underground motorways ring-roads, the creation of new Grand Axes and a subterranean infrastructure band along the Seine. The space liberated by the buried infrastructure is used for a housing program that allows for urban living in pleasant and green environments. Further parts of the vision are investments into transport, nature, education, culture, social cohesion and vast amounts of renewable energy. The sum of all projects can avoid future sprawl and radically transform Paris into one of the densest, most compact and therefore sustainable high quality cities in the world: Paris Plus petit. The City Calculator© is a proposed demo version of a potential software and possible webtool, which quantifies the behaviour and performance of a city and makes it comparable to others. It connects qualitative to quantitative parameters. It can be used as a public and planning tool to support sustainable planning. The City Calculator© will be conceived in collaboration, by The Why Factory at Delft University of Technology. The Data gives the overview of the detailed research on the functioning and performance of Greater Paris, which has been the background for the spatial proposals. The Observations are a series of articles on the backgrounds, the history, the potentials and the problems of the French metropolis. President Nicolas Sarkozy commissioned in June 2008 ten teams of architects and urban planners to imagine an exemplary \"Grand Paris\" a sustainable and boldly designed capital. The project was hailed being the most ambitious since Haussmann changed Paris in the 19th century. The challenge for the 10 teams was envisioning the European metropolis in 2030 being a \"post-Kyoto\" green urban centre which allows for growth beyond the current two million Parisians and provides them with attractive urban environments. The ten plans are presented in an exhibition at Cité de lArchitecture open to the public from the 29th of April 2009 until the 22nd of November 2009. www.citechaillot.fr The animation is made by Wieland Gouwens, Rotterdam [More] [Less]

This video was filmed for Wallpaper* Magazine: http://www.wallpaper.com/video As a Partizan Darkroom Production: http://www.partizan.com/partizan/thedarkroom/ The brief was simple: to build a house to retire to in order to grow food, entertain and enjoy the East Anglia landscape. The outcome was as unconventional as they come. A structure that has the ability to vary or connect the overall building\'s composition and character according to season, weather or simply a desire to delight. Wallpaper* took a trip to the site to capture the physical phenomenon in the only medium that serves it justice - film.
