Cube houses are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level, since its main purpose is to optimize the space inside. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest.
I built this transforming cube months ago, after I've seen the first pics of the black cubes from the Lego Movie. I didn't manage in this first trial to attach all the plates on the robot, one is the base. It works good but my first idea was an eight-faces transforming cube. Next time!!
Paper: 7.5 cm DC
Modules: 6 face modules
Model: Tomoko Fuse
Book: Unit Origami Essence p. 60-61
I love this Tomoko Fuse book but tessellations and other folds have pushed my folding of polyhedra in the background. Among some sheets of DC paper which a colleague gave me (I think they came with the new book Origami Garten by Ioana Stoian), where these stripy psychodelic one, which seemed a perfect match for a stripy cube.
next to the central station: an interesting office building which offers impressive views...
Since we haven't been to Berlin for a long time, we saw it for the first time

I conceived this image for the Strobist Sundays theme "silhouette". Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to upload it until Tuesday.
I think of a silhouette as a simplified representation of an object in space. The simplification happens in two ways. First, the silhouette is devoid of color or surface detail. Second, the silhouette is a projection of a three-dimensional object onto a two-dimensional plane. I think it's kind of ironic to take a photograph of a silhouette, since a photograph is itself a 2D representation of 3D subjects. To emphasize this point, I constructed a wireframe cube out of some of my daughter's toys and projected it onto a blank wall with a single LP120 positioned low camera right. The flash is snooted (with a Pringles' can) and gelled red. I set the flash back as far as space allowed to produce the hardest shadows I could get.

Three of the strange cubes I found in my garden when I woke up this morning - they were everywhere. Hmm... the power of 3
La première fois que je terminais ce fichu casse-tête méritait bien une photo ! Dimanche 2 septembre, vers 18h45.
Je m'étais promis de résoudre le Cube avant mes 40 ans. C'est chose faite, je peux tourner la page.
Vinyl Cube is a simple but versatile design object that allows artists to paint and or draw on it's smooth vinyl surface to create their own custom Vinyl Cube.
The Vinyl Cube emits light from within in various colours and is powered by a built in rechargeable battery unit. This particular Vinyl Cube was created by Chairman Ting.
The cube is now on sale at addtocart.bigcartel.com/

I wanted to shoot some macros of snowflakes today but the snow stopped (and was blown away) by the time I set things up, so I took some shots of table salt. I had no idea that it came in tiny little cubes.

"Cube houses (Dutch: Kubuswoningen) are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest.
The houses in Rotterdam were designed in 1977 in a plan of 55, of which 39 were built.
The houses in Rotterdam are located on Overblaak Street, right above the Blaak Subway Station. There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other.
As residents are disturbed so often by curious passers-by, one owner decided to open a "show cube", which is furnished as a normal house, and is making a living out of offering tours to visitors.
The walls and windows are angled at 54.7 degrees. The total area of the apartment is around 100 square meters, but around a quarter of the space is unusable because of the walls that are under the angled ceilings.
In 2006, a museum of chess pieces was opened under the houses.
In 2009, the larger cubes were converted by Personal Architecture into a hostel run by Dutch hostel chain Stayokay."

Punched this one up a little from the original for the contest. Wanted to shorten the DoF a little and add a dramatic blur to the background.
I work as a Information Technology Tech, so I speed a large part of my day on the phone. Most of that time is boring implementation calls that drag on for hours on end. My little secret to keeping sane is my Rubiks Cube, photoshop...and flickr.
My sister got me this Rubik's cube from Korea a couple years ago. not the best for speedcubing but it's still my favorite one :).

Wheatley's turret/cube hybrid from portal 2. This, more than anything else, was the most pain-in-the-arse thing to figure out how it would be put together. It is purist.
On a unrelated note, there is a tradition in my family, in which every August we celebrate a holiday that we call Lego Day. We have done so since I was little. This year, we ended up building many doctor who themed mocs, so many of my posts in the next few weeks will be my brother and father's creations. Hope you enjoy!
Elements of the Soma Cube with each piece folded from a single sheet of paper.
The first 5 ones are based on the technique describe by Toki Yenn for his Umulius Rectangulum with a basic box closure.
The two last ones ("T" and "corner" shapes) use my own method. THere are not as elegant as the others but I could not find a better solution.
Diagrams available here.
Because Flickr doesn't display animated gifs properly:
The cube on the left uses 912 magnets, the middle five shapes use 1728 magnets each, and the octahedron on the right uses 960 magnets.

Down Town Tour late afternoon. It didn't take long to get really dark. I got of the Bus here to look around the World Trade Centre and 9 11 Tribute Memorial. It was really dark when I got back on the bus again.
Because I only had one full day in New York I took back to back Hop On Hop Off Buses. Some of the images are not very good as the bus would go over bumps etc,. I have kept them in as memorises of the day. I only got off the bus once so most of the photos were taken as we were travelling along. Sadly I just didn't have time to have a good walk around.
I woke to a lovely sunny day and not too cold with around 16c. As the day went on it clouded over a bit and cooled down. November 7, 2018 USA
