Transparent Aluminium: Real, Glass-Like, See-Through Metal

"Stronger than glass, various military and commercial applications for this remarkable material are already being tested. What was once used in the science-fiction Star Trek movies, see-through aluminum is now something that – through test mixing with rubies, sapphires and more – is now being tried out in all kinds of ways to create."

Twin Houses by Felipe Gonzalez-Pacheco

"The Project is the result of the dream of two families. The architect´s family and his sister´s family. Each one composed by four members, father, mother and two small child. The houses were designed for the families to grow independently or together. For the cousins to meet at the patio, for the families to get the indispensable intimacy of a house and at the same time share the space and time with the others."

small kitchen by kristin laass + norman ebelt:

"'small type' is a modular kitchen created by german designers kristin laass and norman ebelt.

it is intended to fit into the small spaces and accommodate the diverse habits of its users.

the focus of the protoype is to provide a smooth work cycle and intuitive operation to those

using the kitchen. at only 1m² when closed, 'small type' serves as a dining table. when the

table is rolled away, the full capability of the kitchen unit is revealed with a refrigerator,

induction cooktop, oven, and storage space."
