Such a smart and beautiful move...
Create an extention to your bike, so it becomes more practicle in many ways.

In developing contries it changes peoples lives in a simple but drastic way. This bike can offer not only transportation but most importantly healthcare, employement and education.
As the creator Ross Evans nicely said: '' Your design is strongest when you involve people.''

Inception Chair by Vivian Chiu

Well, here is a realy cool project by RISD student Vivian Chiu.

Instead of "Inception chair" I would have named it "Poe's chair" inspired from "a dream within a dream"...You haven't read Poe? Too bad for you!

Vivian Chiu has realy cool ideas, and great taste on materials!

ΔΙΚΤΥΟ ΝΟΜΑΔΙΚΗ ΑΡΧΙΤΕΚΤΟΝΙΚΗ

"Το Δίκτυο Νομαδική Αρχιτεκτονική δημιουργήθηκε στην Αθήνα το 2005. Αποτελεί ένα διεπιστημονικό, συνεχώς διευρυνόμενο δίκτυο ατόμων και ομάδων, ο πυρήνας του οποίου αποτελείται από αρχιτέκτονες και εικαστικούς. Το ΔΝΑ ασχολείται με ζητήματα τα οποία αφορούν το αστικό έδαφος, το δημόσιο χώρο, τις περιοχές σε κρίση, τον αγώνα για τα δικαιώματα των κατοίκων στις πόλεις. Διερευνά τις αστικές αλλαγές και τις πολιτιστικές, κοινωνικές και πολιτικές προεκτάσεις αυτών. "
