If the industrial revolution resulted in modernism, contemporary architecture needs to explore what will form out of the current revolution of information. Beijing’s government has promised the world that the 2008 Olympics will present the highest technological content of any in history. Conceptually, Digital Beijing was developed through reconsideration and reflection on the role of Chinese architecture in the modern information era. Resembling that ubiquitous symbol, the bar code, the building emerges from a serene water surface. Solid and void become a construct to define the relationship between the exterior and interior as well. Digital Beijing is a manifestation of both program and its contemporary context.

Crime-fighting surveillance planes provoke privacy controversy 12 October 2014Last updated at 19:41 ET By Ed Ram BBC News WATCH: How US surveillance planes are able to spot murders on the streets A US company has developed a way to monitor entire neighbourhoods, using a technology originally developed for the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But while police forces are excited by the prospect of getting access to the tech, privacy campaigners see it as a threat to citizens' constitutional rights. Bang. Such killings happen almost every day in the US - and when no witnesses come forward, it can be hard and very costly to convict the perpetrators. Now, one company says it has an answer. By flying a special manned plane over a city, Persistent Surveillance Systems (PSS) says it is able to view and record everything that is happening on the ground across a 25-mile (40km) area. Rigged with 12 high-resolution cameras, a spliced together picture of a sort of "live Google Earth" map is beamed down from the aircraft to analysts. "Threat to democracy"
Burning Man 2008 Panoramas The year of the dust-dune playa. Also visit the regular photos of 2008. This is a 360 degree shot while the Temple is burning. It shows the city in a circle around the temple, and since I'm somewhat deep in the crowd, you also see the crowd behind me and their faces as they watch the burn. Some are crying, some are slack-jawed. You can also see that it's the coldest night we had on the playa. This is a series of one-second exposures at f/4.5. The grand view of the entire city, right at the moment of sunset on Wednesday, from the towers of Space Virgins camp at 6:45 and Esplanade. We stayed up to sunrise after the burn, and I climbed the tower of Babel in the outer playa to shoot the entire curve of the city with the sun behind me. This image, over 90,000 pixels wide, is one of the longest and largest panoramas I have made, in fact my software could not handle it so I had to build it in pieces. It's a shame that the tower was so far out. Leave Comments on the Photos
Transparent S-House leaves little to the imagination The S-House, by Yuusuke Karasawa Architects (Photo: Koichi Torimura) Image Gallery (42 images) Even in a city that boasts an above-average proportion of quirky homes, Tokyo's S-House, by Japanese architect Yuusuke Karasawa, stands out from the crowd. Not to be confused with that other S House by Vo Trong Nghia Architects we previously reported on, each of this particular home's facades is made from transparent glass. View all Completed earlier this year and located near Omiya train station in Saitama, Tokyo, the S-House takes up a physical footprint of 50 sq m (538 sq ft) in a narrow plot surrounded by other houses. "I'm trying to present [S-House] as a prototype of architectural space suitable for the age of the network and information," explains Karasawa (via Google Translate).
