At the very heart of the DM building lays a big black cube. Years ago a group of chemistry students sat underneath it, to study for their finals. Out of intuition, they decided to spin the big black cube, just for the fun of it. Two weeks later, it was discovered that all of them made perfect scores on that exam and they wondered how that was possible. They could not seem to find any possible clue, but the next semester, they studied together and spun the cube again. The same success repeated itself. They knew something had to be the cause of their success, but they were not too sure, until they realized their good grades coincided with the spinning of the cube. They decided to test fate and did not spin the cube on one occasion. Not only did they fail that exam, they all had to repeat the class. Only then did they realize the roots of their success. Ever since then, it has been advised you spin the cube 24 hours before an exam, for good luck, and all the success that comes with FIU will be yours.
BÃ¥rd Breivik's sculture Cube, formed with four faces showing different wave patterns, with onlookers in the setting evening sun.
This cube reminds me of a restaurant we used to have here on Beaverton-Hillsdale Hi-Way called Mr. Steak. It had big high backed booths oozing with 70's disco music and guys with mustaches!!!
For the architecture theme in the Rotterdam group.
More info on the cube houses here, and here are some pictures in colour.
Houston just opened a new downtown park; Discovery Green. This blue based structure in one of two in this incredible park. The other, red based. Each color panel on it appears to be automotive paint. Some are metallic colors. Up close is awesome. In the background; The George R. Brown Convention Center. Best seen LARGE If you're viewing this in a group, please check out my photostream.
Paper: 7.5 cm, squares from DC
Modules: 6 squares and 12 joints
Model: Tomoko Fuse
Book: Origami Hana Kusudama p. 46
I don't know what my phone's cam did to that - it's not blue but violet in reality.
The small squares in the middle look a bit white at the edges - that's because during folding one has to rotate them, which is great fun.
Again a very unique design and assembly by Tomoko Fuse.
Paper: 5. cm DC
Modules: 12 edge modules
Model: Tomoko Fuse
Book: Toy book of wisdom p.14-15
Nice and easy module, no glue, connections are very stable, tweesers help.

A cube of pure frozen water, caught on a camera of a computer based image generator, free on the condition of a little credit in the form of mentioning me.
Based on the one unit that was open to the public, each cube was broken into 3 cramped levels: bottom level had the kitchen, a half-bath and living room; 2nd level had a cramped full bath and space for 2 bedrooms and some sitting space; top level was an attic/bedroom.
graphic experiment…

'The Cube' is a distinctive piece of architecture on the Birmingham skyline. It is a particularly interesting building...whichever way you look at it...whether inside or out. In this image, the reflection is seen with a muted palette as the 'old' meets the 'new'.
"The archetypal Borg cube is a variety of immense, cubic starship that functions as part of the Borg Collective. It was first seen in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Q Who?" upon the Borg's first contact with the Federation Starfleet in 2365.
The cube appears to be the principal spacefaring unit of the collective; it is by far the most common Borg craft seen on-screen and the type of vessel used in both the episode "The Best of Both Worlds" and the film Star Trek: First Contact.
The only unifying principles in the design of a cube are its shape, a decentralized/generalized arrangement, a size of several thousand metres per edge, and a hosting of tens or hundreds of thousands of drones. Erin Hansen, the mother of the future Seven of Nine remarks that the cube they studied was 29 cubic km in volume. This number sizes the length, width, and height dimensions at over 3 km.
In Star Trek: First Contact, the atmospheric pressure aboard a Borg ship is described as being two kilopascals above what would be normal on a Federation starship, relative humidity is an average 92%, and its internal temperature is 39.1°C.
In terms of offense and defense, a Borg cube is a fleet in and of itself. Common capabilities of cubes include high warp (transwarp) capabilities, self-regeneration and multiple redundant systems, rapid adaptability to almost any assault, and various beam (tractor beams and cutting beams) and missile weapons. A single Borg cube has, on multiple occasions, taken on entire Federation fleets and held its own. Cubes have been known to carry sphere ships in cavities covered by large slide-away hatches in the outermost layers; however, it is unknown if this is common."
The Luna Cube is a small hand held synth that uses light to make a large range of electronic noises.
