Showing the sliding elevator doors. I really really wanted to make elevator doors that actually looked like elevator doors, and could slide open. Took me ages to get to this final solution.

My friends (mostly) Polyfusion modular synthesizer. There is some other stuff in there (MOTM , Modcan , Asys , Roland , TC , Doepfer) but it is 90% Polyfusion. It is a unique beast.
Based on Ryan Smith's Retro Kentucky Fried Chicken, modified to connect to Lego Modular buildings.

Palacio de Congresos de Aragón
Plaza de Lucas Miret, 1 y Avenida de Ranillas, 101. Recinto EXPO´08. Zaragoza
Arquitectos Fuensanta Nieto y Enrique Sobejano (Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos) Arquitecto de proyecto: Patricia Grande 2008
El edificio tiene una configuración horizontal que se alza sobre la plataforma central de la Expo desde la que se accede a los pabellones internacionales, al pabellón puente y a la pasarela de entrada a la Torre del Agua. Se compone de tres partes principales: un auditorio, un pabellón multiusos y salas modulares, comunicadas a través de un gran vestíbulo. Consta de 9 plantas con una superficie total de 22.850 m2 y una ocupación de 9.000. Su silueta, definida por un sistema de lucernarios intercalados, establece un programa funcional que se soporta sobre una retícula modular y en un sistema constructivo muy elemental que admite concesiones a solicitudes espaciales en el interior. Un perfil quebrado ascendente y descendente manifestando expresivamente la presencia de la luz natural y el encuentro del edificio con el terreno; perfil que le da un aspecto singular y lo convierte en uno de los edificios más característicos del recinto.
El auditorio principal, con capacidad para 1500 espectadores, está dividido en platea y entreplanta, que se pueden separar totalmente para acoger congresos de menor aforo, así la zona superior puede habilitarse en tres salas independientes con una capacidad de 200 personas cada una. La planta bajo rasante alberga las áreas de servicio, instalaciones, camerinos, almacenes y cocinas que posibilitan su funcionamiento sin interferir en el resto del espacio público del edificio.
El inmueble presta especial atención al desarrollo sostenible, tema central de la cita del 2008. Su concepción arquitectónica, la iluminación y ventilación natural, y el empleo de materiales que favorecen las condiciones bioclimáticas generan un ahorro energético considerable.

Un volumen de 11 por 8 por 7,9 metros que, mediante un conglomerado de letras de acero, su situación quiere dar importancia a las personas en un entorno de grandes infraestructuras, y pretende unir en su interior a los motores de la vida: al agua y al cuerpo humano.
The back has a modern looking expansion to the building.

Modular Pharmacy, detail: First floor with spiral staircase and a couch design shamelessly stolen from Brickshelf user 'sheep'.
The building interior is simple, and is divided into several themes. First it is the Star Wars zone, where guests can find a lot of Star Wars toy and apparels. You can also design your own lightsaber at the “Build Your Own Lightsaber” shelf, and I made reference from the existing shops in Disneyland.
Our LUG's next building challenge is a modular standard building but only 8 studs wide. I randomly picked a blue and dark gray 8x16 so I thought it'd be neat to have a lake house. Of course, now I have to hope it'll eventually be displayed next to some water.
I kept the masonry bricks out of this because while it might look like it needs more detail on the outside, typical lake/beach houses are long slats. I thought it might look better.
Next step is to order all the parts I don't already have. I'm really happy with this one, so I hope it holds up IRL.
This has been sat on my shelf since last summer, but today I decided to tidy it up, make it look presentable, and upload it finally. There is still no interior, just an escalator on the bottom/second floor. I don't think I'll create the inside yet, but I'll certainly have a go at it when I have some free time.
I designed this with the Parisian Restaurant in mind, but it is made to be totally modular and used with any Modular from Lego or custom built.
The central part of my idea is the park, which in turn can be used as a larger park or two smaller ones, on the likes of the Lego Pet Shop modular.
But there’s more! It can be connected to extra pavements and these can also be used with your modulars, to create squares, make a standard modular look like a corner one, or create your own and unique combination. Did I mention that there's also a colorful mosaic?
There's a bunch of accessories, from a fire hydrant to a comfy bench, and some of them are used to disguise the standard Technic brick used to connect modulars.
And if that was not enough, you will get a lot of accessories to make your city stem to life!
There's a newspaper kiosk, designed to remind the Parisian ones, a crepes rickshaw, a trash trolley, a monumental statue, two wonderfully flowered trees and a big oak tree to give some shade in the park.
And then several other smaller accessories that can be used with this set or all over your modular town.
And, last but not least, there’s 7 minifigs (and a dog) to animate the town!
If you are a Lego Modulars fan, you will want to have all of these in your Lego town.

Introducing the Analog Delay, from Pittsburgh Modular.
This is a brand new 16 HP analog delay designed around two 4096 stage low noise BBD chips. The Analog Delay features a clean 9/10ths of a second adjustable delay time and CV control of Rate, Feedback, and Mix.
The delay range starts at about 55ms up to several seconds of "sludge". The maximum delay is set with a trim pot so you can choose to use the "sludge" or not. The module will ship with the max delay time set at 9/10ths of a second.
The delay will self oscillate and can be FM'd using the Rate CV input.
Note: the picture is of the prototype. The final layout has changed. The module is now available and it costs $249. More details via our webpage: www.analoguehaven.com/pittsburghmodular/analogdelay/ .

A major delay to the planned Cycle bridge spanning the Black Cart is now inevitable after an incident last night at around 8.20pm.
The accident happened during the lifting stage last night of the new cycling/pedestrian Bridge after the structure shifted and fell from its Mammoet transporters, Large bends to the metal can be clearly seen in the bridge this morning as well as a steel container that the bridge has fell upon crushed and Mammoet self-propelled modular unit on its side and another Mammoet machine at the back also looks damaged.
Thankfully no one was Injured and no roads are blocked as it happened on the area it was originally being built upon
Up the stairs will be 1/F, where you are greeted by the Toy Story shelf and the Lightyear figure. You can try the 3-eye Alien headpiece! Turning around is the much anticipated Frozen shelf, with all the icy items you can purchase! See that girl who is in love with the Snowgie cushions? You can also meet Elsa, Anna and Olaf and take pictures with them! Then you will see the little food corner, facing the staircase to the roof top.

Modular Typeface design
Box contains 64 cubes
Typecube is a design tool used to facilitate the modular construction of letterforms. Typecube’s six faces each bear a unique formal component, which provide the basis of two–dimensional and three–dimensional typographic systems, encouraging flexibility within uniform structure. By varying the number of type cubes, typographic solutions vary in complexity, and are capable of infinite rearrangement.
This product is currently seeking production – please contact me here if you are interested in assisting.

I'm not sure, if Leonardo da Vinci and M.C. Escher have folded paper, but they
have painted open frame solids:
