Germany-born, Switzerland-based designer Till Koenneker took matters into his own hands when he moved into a studio apartment that had no storage.

The Living Cube by Till Koenneker

Building a simple cube-like design, called The Living Cube, he found space for his vinyl collection, TV, clothes, and shoes. On top of the cube, Koenneker was able to incorporate a bed for guests and inside houses a much-needed storage space. Koenneker sketched out his ideas and had them built by Remo Zimmerli. Working with the space he had, The Living Cube, essentially a large piece of furniture, was built for his personal needs and solves a lot of issues.

I loved that they used virtually ever square inch of the cube and made it functional. Photos by Rob Lewis. Top 20 World Most Beautiful Living Spaces. 03 Mar 2013 March 3, 2013 If you are browsing internet for Home Ideas, Decoration and Remodeling Tips you are on the right place.

Fish Lamps by Frank Gehry. The Pritzker prize-winning architect Frank Gehry created the first of his renowned Fish Lamps in 1983, after the Formica Corporation requested he find ways to use the firm’s new laminate product – ColorCore.

Fish Lamps by Frank Gehry

After experimenting with the material, Gehry noticed that the broken pieces looked like fish scales, and from there on the renowned designs continued to evolve, with pieces becoming part of collections of the likes of Jasper Johns. Gagosian Gallery presents the sculptural works of one of the most celebrated architects living today – a selection of Gehry’s latest lamps to be shown in Los Angeles and Paris, reflecting upon the fish as one of the most recurring icons throughout Gehry’s work. The softly glowing ‘Fish Lamps’ are are fixed to poles or wall sconces, while others can be placed on any existing horizontal surface. The forms elegantly curl and flex to suggest motion, while emitting a warm, incandescent light.

Ask A Physicist: Why Believe In Dark Matter?

Oh, well then it must be a conceptual kludge or fudge factor, because that doesn't make sense. " So I'll be a little more emphatic. We KNOW dark matter exists- that is to say, a decent fraction of the universe's mass is in particles with very limited participation in the electromagnetic force- because we SEE what that mass does to everything else we can see- as surely as you could postulate a foot from a set of footprint without having the sawed-off foot in your hands. That's because we really do have its footprints- on essentially everything we see in the sky and proceed to model. That still leaves dark matter as one of the two biggest fish in both cosmology and particle physics with tons of open questions- is it made of supersymmetric particles, which are their own antiparticles, and we could detect them by the flashes of gamma rays they release as they die?
