Herzog & de Meuron Design Staggered Beirut Tower. Swiss architect studio Herzog & de Meuron has recently designed this 119-metre tall staggered tower building in Beirut.
The residential terraces, which overlook the city’s marina, are a part of a larger regeneration project that’s developing around St. George’s hotel. The stunning structure is made up of five modular floors with overhanging ceilings that extend over the homes by at least 60 cm, which provide shade and create balconies. The studio gave this quote about the building, saying, “Five principles define the project: layers and terraces, inside and outside, vegetation, views and privacy, light and identity, The result is a vertically layered building: slabs of varying sizes allow for interplay between openness and privacy that fosters flexible living between inside and outside.”
Zaha Hadid Architects And Samsung Create Immersive Digital Art Installation. Zaha Hadid Architects and Samsung have teamed up with digital design collective Universal Everything to create a new interactive installation for the 2017 Tortona Milan Design Week.
Titled “Unconfined,” the digital-architecture installation is based off of Samsung’s newest Galaxy S8 smartphone, drawing inspiration from the device’s seamless, curving screens and digital graphics. The immersive pavilion leads guests through a hall of hanging displays that are activated through movement, exposing them to “a fusion of architecture, light, moving image and sound design,” says Universal Everything creative director Mike Hughes.
The installation will be on display at the Tortona Design Week Milan from from April 4 to April 9. Ministry of Supply. Service Connects Stores With Pop-Up Retail Locations.

This is the first footage of Larry Page’s ‘flying car’ - The Verge. Google’s New $17,000 Jump Camera Aims To Democratize VR Content Creation. Almost every day, it seems, a new camera for shooting virtual reality content is announced.
Ranging from consumer-grade devices that cost a few hundred dollars to those meant for Hollywood filmmakers that come with five-figure price tags, the goal is the same: to ensure that there’s more and more VR content so that people buy more VR headsets. Last week it was Facebook, which unveiled its professional-quality x24 and x6 cameras. Today, it’s Google’s turn, with the unveiling of the company’s second high-end VR camera, the Jump Halo. Developed by Google and made by China’s Yi, the $17,000, 17-lens Jump Halo—and its associated post-processing software and distribution system—is meant to shoot high-quality 360-degree video, stitch it together automatically, and be light enough at 7.5 pounds to take just about anywhere.
Google launched its first Jump camera last year. The Jump Halo can shoot 8K by 8K stereoscopic 360 video at 30 frames per second, or 6K by 6K at 60 frames per second.

The Trump administration is considering barring passengers flying to the US from UK airports from taking laptops into the cabins, sources have told the Guardian.
The proposed ban would be similar to one already imposed on travellers from several Middle Eastern countries. British officials understand that their US counterparts are looking at extending the ban – which prevents any electronic devices larger than a smartphone being taken as carry-on luggage – to flights from Europe. One Whitehall source suggested to the Guardian that although it was not certain that the ban would be extended to the UK, the US was considering doing so. The US government unexpectedly imposed the ban in late March for flights from 10 airports in the Middle East.
Passengers must stow their devices in checked-in baggage on flights from the affected airports in Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
