How to Fold Wet Origami Sounds like an anomaly, right? When I was a kid folding frogs, my mother gave me origami paper that was most certainly dry. But the works below by Vietnamese-American artist Giang Dinh were folded with one *wet* piece of paper. It's a technique called "Wet-Folding", invented by the great Japanese origami master Akira Yushizawa (pictured right). Yushizawa was the first to contextualize origami as more of an artform than a craft, and he did so by introducing a more organic, sculptural look—one with soft and curved creases and rounded shapes. Choose your origami model and master the folding first.
DIY Minimal Business Cards on the Go The ever-clever Mikey Burton has come up with a fun idea that I just may try out. He was asked to participate in the “Designer Challenge” for the October issue of Computer Arts Projects and was tasked to put a new spin on traditional business cards. So his idea was to pare down a card to the absolute essentials: name, website and possibly a stylized bear illustration, and print it in a unique way. What’s really neat about the cards that Burton made was the tool he used: a 3/4″ inspection stamp. Not exactly a paragon of style and modern design, but it works great for this purpose. Plus, it’s self-inking and it’s small enough to carry around in your pocket or on a keyring, so you can turn any scrap of paper into a minimal DIY business card. I was really intrigued by this so I did some research and found a few places that will make fairly affordable, custom inspection stamps, in case anyone is inclined to try this out: 1) Fivestar Rubber Stamp 2) Stamp-Connection (via Mikey Burton)
Physalia, un prototipo arquitectónico de jardín anfibio [Vincent Callebaut]. bioclimática, Calificación: 0/10 (0 votos contados) ¿Te gustó el artículo? Califícalo con estrellas. Conceptualmente concebido como un prototipo arquitectónico de jardín anfibio, Physalia, a cargo del arquitecto francés Vicent Callebaut, es considerada ahora como la nueva ágora flotante dedicada a limpiar las rutas acuáticas de toda Europa. El jardín flotante anfibio Physalia utiliza un sistema bio-filtración para limpiar los ríos como un filtro del acuario típico, compuesto en este caso, por el jardín ubicado en su superficie. (Vie, 05 Mar 2010) En todo el mundo, nuestros ríos y el agua potable es horriblemente contaminadas por las industrias, tanto por desechos químicos y humanos. El visionario Arquitecto Vincent Callebaut vuelve darnos una solucion al problema de acceso a agua limpia, y es que la ONU estima que el alto crecimiento poblacional amenaza el acceso a agua Potable, y es que mueren 3mil personas a diario debido a no tener acceso al mismo.

Originally created for businessmen who worked too late to catch the last train home, capsule hotels (カプセルホテル) have developed as an economical alternative to normal hotels in a country where space comes at a premium. Consisting of a large number of extremely small coffin-like “rooms” big enough for a single person to sleep in, Japan’s first capsule hotel made its appearance in Osaka in 1979. They have a bit of a grim reputation for their chicken-coop approach to habitation but in 2009 Tokyo-based Cubic Corp decided to take a fresh approach to this uniquely Japanese mode of accommodation. Upon arrival the first thing you do is place your shoes in a numbered locker and give the key to reception while checking-in; I doubt they get many people running off without paying the bill!
