BIG and Berlin-based artist group realities:united envision the city of Copenhagen by 2016 in a new animation which shows a completed Amager Bakke waste-to-energy plant, consolidating Denmark as a world leader in waste-to-energy conversion, allowing Copenhageners to ski near downtown Copenhagen while blowing giant smoke rings for each quarter ton C02 the facility produces to serve as a gentle reminder of the impact of consumption - turning the smokestack traditionally the symbol of the industrial era into a symbol for the future. The industrial design collaboration KiBiSi, featuring Bjarke Ingels, Jens-Martin Skibsted and Lars Lars launched their new ceiling and wall fixture Silverback for Louis Poulsen Lighting at the annual Light+Building fair in Frankfurt.

Research by University of Notre Dame biologist Malcolm J. Fraser Jr. provided a crucial key in establishing the practicality of the alternative method. (Stem cells) are the body’s master cells, producing all of its tissues and organs.
