Futur par Starck Créér un habitat à la fois vert, esthétique et accessible : un défi impossible ? Pas tout à fait, si l'on en croit le chantre du design Philippe Starck, qui a annoncé, ce 21 mai, la construction d'une 'maison à énergie positive'. Invité à débattre, dans le cadre d'une conférence du C2-MTL à Montréal - sorte de "Davos de la créativité" - de la transversalité entre design et innovation, le célèbre designer français a évoqué la création de cette maison, qui produit plus d'énergie qu'elle n'en consomme. Le designer devrait s'installer dans ce bâtiment dans un peu moins d'un mois. Il souhaite inscrire son action dans un mouvement de "démocratisation" du design, soutenant que cette maison, faite d'éléments préfabriqués, restait "très accessible sur le plan financier". Par ailleurs, la "maison positive" correspondrait d'ores et déjà aux normes de la Réglementation Thermique 2020, qui fixe les futures limites à la consommation énergétique des bâtiments neufs en France.
NSA files decoded: Edward Snowden's surveillance revelations explained | World news Two factors opened the way for the rapid expansion of surveillance over the past decade: the fear of terrorism created by the 9/11 attacks and the digital revolution that led to an explosion in cell phone and internet use. But along with these technologies came an extension in the NSA’s reach few in the early 1990s could have imagined. Details that in the past might have remained private were suddenly there for the taking. Chris Soghoian Principal technologist, ACLU NSA is helped by the fact that much of the world’s communications traffic passes through the US or its close ally the UK – what the agencies refer to as “home-field advantage”. The Snowden documents show that the NSA runs these surveillance programs through “partnerships” with major US telecom and internet companies. The division inside the NSA that deals with collection programs that focus on private companies is Special Source Operations, described by Snowden as the “crown jewels” of the NSA.

Future Office Pods / Alexa Getting FOPods (Future Office Pods) revamp the office building typology. The project was designed by Alexa Getting. As we continually advance technologically, the office needs transform from physical space to virtual (paperless) space. The office becomes hand-held, thus decreasing the office footprint. FOPods capitalize on this concept to create a unique, open air, minimal footprint, public, and hourly rentable office spaces. The jury noted that this “aspirational” plan is reminiscent of a 1960’s hyper-future in its forward thinking approach. To commemorate the 9th Annual Skyscraper Competition, eVolo is publishing the Limited Edition Book "eVolo Skyscrapers 2" which is the follow-up to its highly acclaimed book “eVolo Skyscrapers”. -> EVOLO SKYSCRAPERS 2 - Limited Edition Book
Le web-documentaire Raconter la réalité Raconter la réalité avec les moyens mis à disposition par les nouvelles technologies est un privilège que peu encore ont su mettre à profit. Le web-documentaire est un genre qui n’est pas encore défini, qui est multiple et qui dépasse au niveau de la narration tous les médias précédemment utilisés. Aspects généraux Le web-documentaire puisqu’il n’est pas clairement défini est certainement un exercice né avec le web. Les principales caractéristiques identifiées pour les web- documentaires sont tout d’abord une audace dans le sujet abordé. Aspects logistiques Modèle économique De la même manière que le documentaire classique, le web-documentaire n’est pas très facile à financer. Questions techniques Le web-documentaire, par sa complexité d’association de différents medium (sons, images, vidéos, graphiques) rend l’utilisation de Flash souvent obligatoire.

12 wonderful examples of immersive online storytelling In the late 1990s the Philadelphia Inquirer published a series on “the dramatic raid of Mogadishu”. It evolved into a book and a movie called, as you may have already guessed, ‘Black Hawk Down’. The initial extended feature first made its debut in print, and was then pushed onto the website, where video, audio, maps, photos and related links helped bring the story to life. The site, which is still available online, looks like this: This was one of the first mainstream media attempts to use the web to enhance long form content, and while the page might not look terribly pretty, all of the right kind of functionality is there. Since then things have moved on considerably, and in an age of HTML5 I have seen some stunning examples of what can be achieved with online storytelling. Let's start with the obvious... The New York Times’ ‘Snowfall’ The chap who put this together won a Pulitzer for feature writing, and Snowfall has inspired a New York Times redesign (here’s a preview). ESPN’s Grantland

squint/opera +44(0)207 978 7788 L'Equipe Explore - Born to Climb 1971 Tour de France, Orcières-Merlette to Marseilles stage, on which Luis Ocaña, in the yellow jersey, lost ground to Eddy Merckx. It was the turn of the 1970s. The two men hated each other so much that they would not even greet each other. When he talked about his rival, Ocaña called him “The Cannibal” or “that stupid twat”, and he even christened one of his dogs after the Belgian, just for the pleasure of being able to call “Heel, Merckx! Lie down, Merckx!” On the 1971 Tour, Merckx got a first warning on the Puy de Dôme, where Ocaña took several seconds off him. Three days later, the shake-up he had predicted came to pass during another Alpine stage on the boiling road to Orcières-Merlette. It looked like the Tour was over and history made. Eddy Merckx talking about the 1971 Tour de France and his duel with Luis Ocaña. © Source ASO (1997) Merckx amazed him. The Col du Portillon is a highly symbolic pass between France and Spain.

USA TODAY | BEHIND THE BLOODSHED: THE UNTOLD STORY OF AMERICA’S MASS KILLINGS To analyze mass killings, USA TODAY used the FBI's definition: four or more killed, not including suspects, in an event. The killing may stretch over a day or more and some distance, especially if it includes killings committed in flight or against targeted people. It does not include an extended "cooling-off period" to distinguish this kind of crime from the acts of serial killers. Unlike gun control advocates who just count shootings, USA TODAY analyzed all mass killings, regardless of weapon. USA TODAY began by collecting the FBI's Supplemental Homicide Reports for 2006-11. USA TODAY cross-checked each FBI report with local news reports and sometimes with local law enforcement agencies. USA TODAY also found 26 mass killings not recorded in FBI data. Finally, USA TODAY included several other cases not reported by the FBI, including: One on a U.S. military base. USA TODAY did not include events if deaths stemmed from negligence, such as drunken driving, even if someone was convicted.
