El safrà s'utilitza sobretot a la gastronomia, afegint-se en petites dosis com a condiment i colorant. A la cuina catalana medieval ja era una de les espècies més populars, l'única que no era importada i la més utilitzada tant al Libre de Sent Soví com al Llibre del Coch. Als llibres medievals es parla del safrà com a bo per al cor i la circulació. En canvi, avui dia l'ús mèdic o farmacèutic que té està relacionat amb la composició d'alguns col·liris i líquids oftalmològics. Per a ésser tòxic s'haurien de prendre d'un sol cop més de cinc mil filaments.

Elytra was a responsive shelter; new components of the structure were built on-site.
The pavilion tested a possible future for architectural and engineering design, exploring how new robotics technologies might transform how buildings are designed and built. The design drew on research into lightweight construction principles found in nature. It is inspired by the filament structures of the shells of flying beetles, known as elytra.
Made of glass and carbon fibre, each component of the canopy was produced using a robotic winding technique developed by the designers. Unlike other fabrication methods, this does not require moulds and can produce an infinite variety of spun shapes, while reducing waste to a minimum.

I was trying to see if I could figure out why this light bulb was burnt out, but it turned out to be kinda hard to see the filament.

First experiments with burning filaments. Ran out of bulbs before i got the expoure nailed down so had to tinker in lightroom a little.
The obvious filament failure above was caused by breaking off the insulating glass bulb and exposing the (24'') filament to the air. This allowed conduction with the ambient surrounding rendering this effect. I wish I had a faster camera so I can capture the whole sequence. This was shot with the Canon Xsi Body and 24-70mm f2.8 lens.
