Think about the future so that I will not be crushed by sad days.
"My future design"
A sustainable future, a stable society is needed for that. In a society where violence can change the situation, we cannot pursue sustainable efforts.
We have many problems that the world needs to work together to solve, such as global warming, pandemics and wars, as soon as possible. If we do not deal with those problems in good faith right now, 100 years later, 200 years later, our descendants will blame our stupidity in the utmost words.
I already know that word.
"You were so stupid that you were selfish, always put off problems, and were incapable of doing justice."
Many of us thanked our parents and cherished the culture and traditions that our ancestors had built, but all of them were denied by our descendants, and the conclusion was that our lives were meaningless. If so, does it make sense for us to live?
So I suggest.
It punishes those who do selfish words and deeds, those who commit violence, and those who bring destruction to the future of humankind.
For their sins, I will transplant cute cat ears to them.
And let's say they should only use the words "Meow" and "Thank you".
Perhaps Will Smith will be the first Academy Award winner with cat ears after ten years.
People love the deep expression, the soft cat ears, and the witty "MEOW" as machismo becomes a shadow of its former self.
Then what about that dictator?
I'm tough on him, but he may at least be the model of Scrooge in Disney's latest 3D animated "A Christmas Carol" to be released in 2222.
I dont't know about the cat ears on his bald head looks cute or not...hope to people love it.
Meow!

Das Saarpolygon ist ein markantes modernes Wahrzeichen in Deutschland, gelegen auf der Bergehalde Duhamel in Ensdorf, Saarland. Diese 30 Meter hohe Stahlkonstruktion symbolisiert den Wandel der Saarregion von ihrer bergbaulichen Vergangenheit hin zu einer neuen Zukunft. Entworfen von den Architekten Krebs und Kiefer, ist das Monument sowohl eine Skulptur als auch eine Aussichtsplattform und bietet einen beeindruckenden Blick über das Saarland.
Das geometrische Design des Saarpolygons verleiht ihm ein dynamisches, sich je nach Blickwinkel veränderndes Erscheinungsbild. Besonders fotogen ist es bei Sonnenaufgang, Sonnenuntergang oder während der Blauen Stunde, wenn dramatische Himmelsszenen seine industrielle Ästhetik unterstreichen.
------------------------------------------
The Saarpolygon is a striking modern landmark in Germany, located on the Duhamel coal slag heap in Ensdorf, Saarland. This 30-meter-high steel structure symbolizes the transformation of the Saar region from its coal-mining past to a new future. Designed by architects Krebs and Kiefer, the monument is both a sculpture and a viewing platform, offering panoramic views of the Saar Valley.
The Saarpolygon’s geometric design gives it a dynamic, ever-changing appearance depending on the viewer’s angle. It’s especially photogenic at sunrise, sunset, or during blue hour, with dramatic skies adding to its industrial aesthetic. (Quelle/source: Internet)
For over 50 years, Aston Martin has been the sports car of choice for James Bond. Produced exclusively for Spectre, DB10 was designed, engineered and hand crafted by a dedicated team at Aston Martin’s Gaydon Headquarters in the UK.
Creating the Aston Martin DB10 has been our most closely-guarded secret in years. Celebrating an enduring relationship, which started with the iconic DB5, the DB10 gives a glimpse to the future design direction for the next generation of Aston Martins.
10 DB10 cars were manufactured in total – eight have been used for Spectre filming, along with two show cars.

In less than ideal light conditions Flying Scotsman is really living up to its name and Flying through Cholsey working a circular tour via Oxford and back up the GWR main line. In 1925 a Gresley Pacific Victor Wild. worked the Down and up limited between Paddington and Pymouth.Although the Pacific kept time and Driver Pibworth and Fireman Birkwood put in some fine preformances. These could not match Caldicot Castle with Driver Edward Rowe and Fireman Cook.During the test week on one occasion in both down and up directions the Castle gained 15 minutes on the shedule and throughout the test week burned less coal and used less water.This was of course using Welsh coking coal.But on LNER metals Pendennis Castle beat Pacific Diamond Jubilee in both coal,water consumption and made better times between Kings Cross and Doncaster, but with the hard Yorkshire coal.These results had a profound influence on the future design of the LNER Pacifics.

What will San Francisco look like in 100 years? That was the question that 8 teams competed to answer in The History Channel's City of the Future design competition. This year's cities included San Francisco, Washington DC, and Atlanta (last year's were NYC, Los Angeles, and Chicago).
Faculty from the California College of the Arts were involved in five out of the eight architectural teams competing to design the futuristic San Francisco. IwamotoScott Architecture, a firm co-owned by CCA's Craig Scott won the San Francisco competition with their Hydro-Net design.
The teams had 1 week to envision what their city would look like in 100 years, 3 hours to build the design, and 15 minutes to present their vision to a panel of judges.
All eight of the futuristic San Francisco designs were on display this past week at CCA. More details here.
Not the fleet of the future design but one of the earlier trials and here is Alexander Enviro 400 number 210 (SN61 BBV) on a Service 10 with this rather striking pink PART ROUTE indication. They really take the eye now particularly due to their diminishing appearance.
I can't quite recall precisely but I think this is the fleet group (originally hybrids) 201-215 what was the first to bring on board the voice of Debbie Cannon who does the service information announcements. I have always liked her for her clear Scottish intonation - she's older than she sounds mind you!

One of the most amazing origami works by Chen Xiao. Luckily, I can find the Guide on his facebook page. This model took several days to make, as I need to treat it with Methyl Cellulose and wait for it to dry over and over again (maybe 5 phases).
Overall, the structure of this model is so awesome, I like how the designer managed to make her head. Of course, it is a good reference for my future design... Currently designing something that takes a lot of time and brainpower...
The concept car Saab Aero X was first shown to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in 2006. It's a design study made in one example to explore future design and function ideas. Even though the expectations were high the reception was beyond all expectations and among many prizes Autocar elected Aero X to "Concept Car of the Year". The power train consists of a 2,8 litre V6 engine, 7-speed gearbox and 4WD system. The engine runs on the fuel E100 (100 % ethanol) and develops 400 hp and 500 Nm at 5.000 rpm.

Lamborghini Countach, 1974-1990, seen at Technikmuseum Sinsheim, Germany. In the 1970s, its looks were stunningly innovative, something out of the future. Designed by Bertone. "Countach" allegedly is Piemontese dialect for "Cor blimey!". My Piemontese is a bit rusty, so I can't confirm.
Lesson learnt: leave wider margins with the SL66.

Ok, so third time's the charm right? I started playing with a near-future design, all pipes and beams. I'm struggling with a coherent backstory for it but I think I might go with a space tourist bus. Once giant space hotels are built in orbit, tourists might like to go for some EVA and see the station from the outside (bring yer cameras!) And to save money maintenance buses like this one could double as sight-seeing vehicles. The seats can swing out for better views. Not sure about the manipulator arms; they look cool but would they need to be there?
I watched The Martian last night so I'm all "Gotta do me some of dat!" Also, there's a fantastic concept by Qi Wu on artstation for an EVA weapons unit that's so freakin' cool.
I've still kept my black and yellow stripey SHIP as a back up.

Manipulated Polaroid SX-70 print of a TV set and a Ninja punching bag in a room with a 1960s era carpet.
This was my first attempt at Polaroid print manipulation. I pushed the surface/emulsion of the print with a wooden popcycle stick just after exposure while the emulsion was still wet. I quickly realized how this technique could be used for future design and photography projects and added it to my imaging tool kit.
It’s all about the center. Symmetrical branches are beautiful, but without a large geometric center, many snowflakes lose their visual appeal. In this case we have a big, beautiful heart depicting what I call an “inner snowflake”. View large!
This “inner snowflake is created as a piece of solid ice, with its outlines defined by bubbles trapped in the ice as it grows. This pattern of growth is common, but it sometimes so closely resembles a snowflake itself that it echoes the future design of the crystal. Snowflakes grow in patterns that evolve from the center; they usually replace solid symmetry with balanced growth with an organic appearance… but something of the center always remains.
Finding snowflakes like this one is often my goal; I try to find the most beautiful specimens that a storm has to offer. Many ugly, broken, or unsymmetrical snowflakes are cast aside to find crystals like this. I’m perpetuating the stereotype that all snowflakes are beautiful by selecting the best-of-the-best to showcase in this series, but anyone who has attempted snowflake photography will know: the beautiful ones are hard to find.
They are especially hard to find when the temperature is rising to +8C at the moment. We haven’t had good snowflakes falling for quite some time! This crystal fell on February 10 of this year (2014), but only now has it been given the attention in editing to make it shine. There are still hundreds of snowflakes waiting for their day in the spotlight… and many that will never make it. When the temperatures get cold again I’ll be out shooting in full force, but I need to keep my sanity and limit this series to 100 images each year. :)
The science and photographic techniques of previous years is chronicled in Sky Crystals: www.skycrystals.ca/ - well worth checking out if you have any interest in my work – from the perspective of beauty or with the desire to create your own!

Izzo's Chronicles #3 [IHI - Izzo's Heavy Industry]
- Trying to build heavy equipments into Sci-Fi form is one of my favorite line.
Aslo wish I could create a fantastic future design remained the reality.
Worked 2007-2008.
I'd like to say many thanks what I love such these mechanic designs -
Many industrial designers (as real), Junji Okubo (Izmojuki) and Ryuhei Kawai (kwi-chang the master)
Have fallen in love with Kimmidolls. If I had an office/study/studio with shelf space, I would have bought loads of these by now – they're something I see me collecting in the future.

* Things I've been doing these days *
- I've been doing lots of things at the same time. And this is what I've found out these days: no matter how much you try hard to do something, if one says it's a shit, well... it is a shit =/
- Studying innovative technology and venture capital (if there's somebody interested in investments for my future design company, contact me.. hehehehehe ;P)
- Playing "God of War II". I'm stuck in a place and have no idea of how getting out of there...
- Studying English
- Reading Dom Quixote de La Mancha
- Eating easter eggs (yeaaaaaaaaahhh! Still have lots to eat! :D)
- My brother gave me "Where's Wally? : The ultimate travel collection" in my birthday. :D And I've been trying to find 5 spiders on the beach for the last 3 weeks... oh god! It's so difficult! If you know where they are, please give me a tip!
- Yeah.. I know.. I haven't been taking pictures since the beginning of the year... I need to go out more often, see different things. I'm tired of my pics and I'm out of inspiration... T^T
--- x ---
* Coisas que eu tenho feito esses dias *
- Tenho feito várias coisas ao mesmo tempo. E isso é o que eu descobri esses dias: não importa o quanto você se esforce pra fazer alguma coisa, se alguém fala que é uma merda, bem... é uma merda =/
- Estudando inovação tecnológica e capital de risco (se alguém estiver interessado em investimentos para a minha futura empresa de design, entre em contato.. ehehehehehehe ;P)
- Jogando "God of War II". Eu empaquei num lugar e não faço idéia de como sair de lá...
- Estudando inglês
- Lendo Dom Quixote de La Mancha
- Comendo ovo de páscoa (eeeeeeee! Ainda tenho um monte pra comer! :D)
- Meu irmão me deu o último livro do "Onde está o Wally? - A mais completa coleção de viagens" no meu niver. :D E eu to tentando achar as malditas 5 aranhas na praia pelas últimas 3 semanas... tá tão difícil! Se vc souber onde está, por favor me dê uma dica!
- É eu sei... não tenho tirado fotos desde o começo do ano... Preciso sair com mais frequência, ver coisas diferentes. To cansada das minhas fotos e sem inspiração... T^T

Due to its features and rarity, the Ciné-Kodak Magazine, a popular model, is the best for my design.
Agatha Christie's set of short stories, "the Labors of Hercules", may be a minor work from her oeuvre, but it still contains layers of complexity and a multitude of innovations characteristic of her novels.
Poirot is considering retirement, and is enamored with these labors, as a parallel to his own swan song. The fourth story, the Erymanthian Boar, takes place at a vacation resort on a mountain peak in Switzerland, where a form of 'locked room mystery' takes place.
The story's few prominent features are transferred to the Ciné-Kodak Magazine, which becomes a writer's creativity tool made for Christie, as is annotated on the drawing.
The camera kit comes supplied with two funicular models, a sento model and an atelier model. By adjusting the funicular on its rails along the viewfinder path, you can make a quasi-haiku finder (as described on some of my other designs).
Film magazines (the kodak has a purse shape throughout) are filled with 20-foot reams of paper strip upon which the eccentric Christie may jot down her story ideas as well as household information like shopping lists and appointments, something she actually did in her published diaries. The rolls of paper metaphorically recall a prominent clue in the Christie story, the bandages on one of the suspects.
The heliograph, also from the story, detaches from the camera body and is 25mm in diameter (exactly matching the Kodak Anagstimat lens) with a 5mm sighting aperture. To increase the range of the heliograph, you can attach an optional larger external flash (converted) to give a range of well over 125 miles. A further expansion of this design may allow the heliograph to be attached to the camera while in use, making the contraption seem like a sextant.
The cowhide case has additional storage for a kind of Tiffin box for an English cream tea set for Christie.
None of the features above alter the original antique movie camera in any way. So the innovative mystery writer can also film establishing shots and perhaps quickly improvised staged scenes for novels.
Please see my small Agatha Christie album on Flickr. I have more designs in my notebooks to upload in the future.

Saturday the 13th of April 2013 was a very special day in Edinburgh as three of Lothian's ten new Volvo 7900 Hybrid single deckers were star guests on Castle Street, in the company of Chief Executive Ian Craig, Transport Convenor Lesley Hynds, actor and tv presenter Grant Stott and several officials from Volvo. Gordon Stirling piped in Lothian's Environmental Manager Dr Steve Johnson as he drove number 1 through the town for the crowds who attended.
The new livery, Winter Gold and Radiance Red (which had been introduced on our Enviro 400 Hybrids in 2011) was on show for the first time on single deckers, and there had been a special evening for enthusiasts on the previous Thursday. 50 of these buses were brought in to service during the next year.
As everything in life changes, so do the organisers and thus the ideas for the future. What might have become something of a standard livery, certainly perhaps for our hybrid vehicles, was not to be and Lothian's hybrid single deckers are now being repainted to the generic 'Fleet of the Future' design.
Here is number 42 (BT64 LHX) looking very shiny for five years old and note the revised destination screen with new-style font.
That day in Aprl 2013 will never be forgotten. Steve Johnson's enthusiasm and kindness to bus enthusiasts were just two aspects that he will always be affectionately congratulated on. You did everyone proud Steve.
The Aston Martin DB10 is a bespoke grand tourer specially developed for the James Bond film Spectre by the British luxury car manufacturer Aston Martin.
The car was unveiled by Sam Mendes and Barbara Broccoli, the director and producer of Spectre respectively, the 24th James Bond film produced by Eon Productions. The unveiling took place as part of the official press launch of the film on the 007 Stage at Pinewood Studios, near London, on 4 December 2014.
The design of the DB10 was led by Aston Martin's chief creative officer Marek Reichman, with the film's director Mendes working closely with the team. Original concept and sketch by Sam Holgate, a 30-year-old man from Foston whose design the DB10 was based upon. Only 10 units were hand-built in-house by the company's design and engineering teams in Gaydon. Eight of those 10 cars were featured in the movie, and two more were built for promotional purposes. Aston Martin stated that "the DB10 gives a glimpse to the future design direction for the next generation of Aston Martins." It was later revealed that the DB10 was based on the newly introduced V8 Vantage that made its debut in 2017 and had a modified design so that the design of the new Vantage didn't come to public notice while the car was in development.
As of December 2014, Aston Martin had released few of the technical details of the car, the DB10 used the company's 6-speed manual transmission unit that is used on their V8-engined cars. The car's chassis is based on a modified version of the VH Generation II platform that underpins the V8 Vantage. However the DB10 has a longer wheelbase and is nearly as wide as the One-77. It is powered by the same 4.7-litre AJ37 V8 engine found in the V8 Vantage S, which has a power output of 436 PS (321 kW; 430 hp) and 490 N⋅m (361 lb⋅ft) of torque. The DB10 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.3 seconds and has a top speed of 310 km/h (193 mph).
Being October, which had always been the LUGNuts anniversary month, this James Bond Aston Martin DB10 has been built to the 5th challenge theme 'Heros and Villians'.

12 Interlocking Wrinkled Pentagonally Distorted Dipoles 60 units 5-fold view.
Back in May of 2017, I used some leftover paper to make a model I referred to as "4 Interlocking Wrinkled Diminished Tetragonal Dipoles." This is the dodecahedral equivalent of that model. The weaving pattern is extremely simple, and I imagine that the series can be expanded to include not only the remaining Platonic solids, but most other solids as well, including Archimedian and possibly Johnson Solids. The assembly can be slightly challenging, depending upon the paper used. "Diminished" for me now connotes the implication of edge removal rather than edge transformation, and consequently, I have stricken this word from the naming of this model, as opposed to the original. The frames are a little bit loose, so I may refold this with superior quality paper in the future.
Designed by me.

The Memorial to Heroes of the Marine Engine Room is a granite monument located on St. Nicholas Place, at the Pier Head.
The memorial was originally intended to commemorate all engineers who perished in the sinking of the Titanic on April 15, 1912. Liverpool was the Titanic's port of registry and the home of the ship's owner, White Star Line. The construction was funded by international public subscription.
Spaces were left on the monument to record the names of other engineers. However, due to the heavy loss of life throughout World War I, its dedication was broadened to include all maritime engine room fatalities incurred during the performance of duty.
Shrapnel damage from bombs that fell during the Blitz in World War II can be clearly seen on the monument.
Two figures on the east face of the memorial representing stokers, one holding a shovel and the other a cleaning rag. The right figure shows damage from the Liverpool Blitz.
Standing 48 feet (14.6 m) tall, the monument was designed by Sir William Goscombe John.
It is constructed in the form of a granite obelisk standing on a square chamfered pedestal. The obelisk is topped with a gilded flame. Each of its bottom corners is decorated with carved representations of the four classical elements.
The east and west side of the pedestal feature carved life-size sculptures of stokers and engineers.
Pevsner describes these figures as "strikingly naturalistic" and are noted as focusing on working class heroism.
When the monument was designed, the use of manual labourers and workers was an uncommon subject in British public art and their inclusion by Goscombe John was considered innovative.
Historic England describe the memorial as having a considerable influence on the future design of war memorials, calling it "one of the most artistically significant memorials to the Titanic disaster on either side of the Atlantic".

On Dec. 4, the Orion spacecraft will launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida aboard a Delta IV Heavy rocket for a trip that will take it 3,600 miles above Earth's surface -- a historic journey that also will take with it the hearts and hard work of people right here in the Tennessee Valley.
During Orion's uncrewed test flight, several key systems will be tested: abort systems integration; computer and guidance systems designed to sustain a crew during space travel; and the heat shield and other critical landing systems that provide safe return to Earth. Flight data will influence future design decisions, validate existing computer models and innovative new approaches to space systems development, as well as reduce overall mission risks and costs.

The AVE (Activate, Visit, Experience) is a product of the Resort Area Mobility Plan's (RAMP) engagement process and efforts to balance the needs of the stakeholder groups while aligning with mobility priorities identified by the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan (RASAP), adopted June 2, 2020. Its focus is to improve the experience along Atlantic Avenue. The RAMP Steering Committee reviewed several alternatives for Atlantic Avenue improvements as part of the RAMP community engagement process. A preferred concept was identified for a portion of Atlantic Avenue in January 2021 to move forward with the pilot demonstration project.
Virginia Beach is spending $300,000 on The AVE, and city planners want feedback from the public. The pilot program will help the city figure out what works and what should be considered in future design plans for Atlantic Avenue. Several of the businesses that front the busy thoroughfare hope the changes will improve the resort area’s atmosphere, which many have said has become stagnant.
The demonstration project began September 3, 2021 to activate Atlantic Avenue by repurposing the existing trolley lanes from 17th to 20th St. and replacing them with public art, dedicated active transportation lanes for alternative modes of transportation (bicycles, scooters, etc.), bicycle parking, vehicle parking in the off season, entertainment space, and dining parklets. The purpose is to test and collect data to serve as a foundation for a comprehensive Atlantic Avenue improvements project.

Well, I finally got around to finishing it. What was holding me back? A lack of ideas on the stock and not being happy with how long it was but I liked the barrel too long to scrap it. That, and procrastination.
So I finished up the stock and cut the barrel short. I saved the part of the barrel I cut off to use on a future design.
End of the day, it isn't perfect, but I'm glad to have it finished and not just sitting there half made.
EDIT: though there are some flaws I am wishing I caught before I uploaded this.

Edward Hopper's paintings are a wonderful focus for camera investigations as their pictorial strategies allow for variations on ways a camera can be designed, in my opinion.
Much of the wisdom of Hopper's work which I refer to comes from the poet Mark Strand's book of essays on Hopper.
This proposed design carries through one concept of Hopper's work that Strand has perceived, that there is a constant tension in the paintings that both push the view forward and keeps the viewer stationary. This camera has this pictorial strategy built-in. It is a quasi Beacon Hill-styled dollhouse on a simple diner table (recalling other Hopper scenes) that melds two well-known Hopper paintings. The viewfinder is a mini room that is built into a model replica dollhouse window with elements that keep the viewer away:
1.the half shuttered windows the viewer has to squint through
2. the edge of railroad track looming over the camera back and in the viewers field of vision
3. the wood backed dollhouse at the camera front is private and forbidding
4. the numerous (though soft) screens built into the viewfinder to block the view.
5. the viewfinder glass is glazed with layers of antiquing brown glaze to give a faded look.
All this is up against the luminous patch of light that opens to the view seen from the camera to the subject view and the set of stairs that lead the viewer out the same window. The replica window both keeps the viewer from an easy view and invites the viewer for a peek as it is the only detail that is operable on this camera; pulling the screen pull down on the window takes the exposure. I will have more Hopper designs for cameras coming out in the near future.

6 Interlocking Irregular Hyperboloidal Gyrobifastigia 84 units
In my hand. Here is the finalized version of this compound. I dropped the paper width from 1.0” to 0.875”. The center edges of each gyrobifastigium form a standard compound of “6 squares”, but since the structure has tetrahedral symmetry, the “squares” are actually distorted to rhombi. Thus assembling this involves a bit more than simply tacking on half of a triangular prism to each side of a compound of 6 squares. I’m sure there are other compounds with wider proportions, but I was specifically looking for a compound that was not “too tetrahedral” in shape, and had some interesting weaving interactions (which is not so easy to do these days with only 84 units to work with). These days, I consciously try to incorporate “pseudo-axes”, though I have not had the time (or likely the skill) to develop an algorithm for their specific inclusion in edge interactions. I can easily imagine other compounds of 3, 12, 15, 24, and 30 gyrobifastigia, but the central four unit intersections are a real killer- compounds relying on central stability would not lend themselves easily to gyrobifastigia, as the locks at such intersections are either weak or difficult to assemble. This model could use a refold with slightly thinner proportions, which I might do at some point in the near future.
Designed by me. Folded out of Cordenons’ Stardream paper (I haven’t folded anything out this paper in a while now!). (8 different proportions)
12 Interlocking Wrinkled Pentagonally Distorted Dipoles 60 units 3-fold view.
Back in May of 2017, I used some leftover paper to make a model I referred to as "4 Interlocking Wrinkled Diminished Tetragonal Dipoles." This is the dodecahedral equivalent of that model. The weaving pattern is extremely simple, and I imagine that the series can be expanded to include not only the remaining Platonic solids, but most other solids as well, including Archimedian and possibly Johnson Solids. The assembly can be slightly challenging, depending upon the paper used. "Diminished" for me now connotes the implication of edge removal rather than edge transformation, and consequently, I have stricken this word from the naming of this model, as opposed to the original. The frames are a little bit loose, so I may refold this with superior quality paper in the future.
Designed by me.
Folded out of copy paper.
The Pontiac Cirrus was one of the stars at the 1964 New York World’s Fair, but at that time it was called the non marque-specific “GM-X.”
Passengers entered through a rear hatch and passed between the aircraft-style bucket seats. Once inside, the driver was treated to an aircraft-style steering controls, which featured thumb buttons to activate the horn and turn signals. A total of 31 indicator lights, 29 toggle switches and 4 control levers were distributed between the dash and overhead console. Its overall effect was a bit overwhelming, though very much in keeping with the show-biz nature of GM’s Dream Cars. If James Bond were ever to turn in his Aston Martin on something a bit more high-tech, the GM-X would no doubt have been at the top of his short list.
