555 KUBIK: turning a solid building into a fluid digital sculpture
August 4, 2009 @ 3:17 am
555 KUBIK | facade projection | from urbanscreen on Vimeo.
Urbanscreen utilized the facade of a building as a canvas for manipulation in this video that demonstrates how a solid object can be manipulated by digital means to become a fluid sculpture. A rather lovely project in my opinion, and one that makes me wish buildings around me would come alive like this one.
Thanks Jessica!
Threadless cake competition at Threadcakes
July 17, 2009 @ 7:51 pm
Chris Cardinal and Threadless.com have teamed up to bring us an online competition called Threadcakes that aims to see who can create the best cake inspired from an actual Threadless T-shirt. The contest began on June 15th and ends on August 3rd, so if you want to enter, you still can because there are plenty of prizes to be won. Just make sure you read the rules so you don’t get disqualified.
The custom cake gallery is growing quickly and some of the cakes are pretty fantastic! See them all here (those 3D cakes are something!).
A new bridge being built at the Hoover Dam

Check out this amazing photo of a new bridge being built across the Hoover Dam. The bridge will be named the Mike O’Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge and will serve primarily to relieve the traffic going around the Hoover Dam (which you can see in the picture above). The bridge will be an extension of US Route 93 and will be a new connection between Arizona and Nevada.
Right now, the bridge looks like a suspension bridge, but by implementing some new bridge-building techniques, it will actually be supported only by the concrete arches beneath (the suspension cables will be removed after construction is complete). Construction on the bridge began in 2005 and is said to be completed sometime in 2010. This should be a site to see the next time I visit the Hoover Dam. :)

Curbed shared this magnificent time-lapse video of the construction of 11 Times Square (located at 42nd Street and 8th Avenue). Nice.
Construction of the Woronora Bridge

This is totally awesome. I’ve never seen a bridge get built before and seeing it in a time-lapse video is incredibly nifty. [via]
