Untitled by Anthropology on flickr , via Design is Mine It’s spring-like around these parts – we’ve got cherry blossoms and daffodils and tulips all around – but it sure doesn’t feel that way when I step out the door.

(This is a blanket fort that I helped build at Video In/Video Out in Vancouver as an installation for the 2008 Signal and Noise festival.)

MoCo Loco - Modern contemporary design & architecture. Rolling Bridge ? Heatherwick Studio. London, UK The studio was commissioned to design a pedestrian bridge to span an inlet of the Grand Union Canal at Paddington Basin, London, and provide an access route for workers and residents. Crucially, the bridge needed to open to allow access for the boat moored in the inlet. The aim was to make the movement the extraordinary aspect of the bridge. A common approach to designing opening bridges is to have a single rigid element that fractures and lifts out of the way.

Rolling Bridge opens by slowly and smoothly curling until it transforms from a conventional, straight bridge, into a circular sculpture which sits on the bank of the canal. The structure opens using a series of hydraulic rams integrated into the balustrade. The whole structure was constructed at Littlehampton Welding on the Sussex coast and then floated up the Grand Union Canal, before being lifted into position and attached to the hydraulic system which powers its movement.

I want my parents to take a good look at this bedroom. Maybe it's sour grapes at this point but why didn't I have a bedroom like this when I was a kid? Actually, I know the answer... punishment would be "Get out of your room! " instead of heading there for a bit of attitude adjustment. What kid wouldn't want a pirate ship in their bedroom!?

Was your room this cool? Somehow I doubt it. Impressive, eh?
