The Cube is an iconic 25 storey mixed-use development in the centre of Birmingham, England. Designed by Ken Shuttleworth of Make Architects, it contains 135 flats, 111,500 square feet (10,359 m2) of offices, shops, a hotel and a 'skyline' restaurant. It is the final phase of The Mailbox development.

Just arrived, a box of cheap 3x3x3 cubes (2 Euro per cube) to try some different mods.
While trying to disassemble one of them some of the pieces broke (very thin plastic...) but at least now I know how I can disassemble them without breaking any more pieces.
Good thing is that they turn rather good, especially if lubricated.
Look forward to some pictures of what will become of them :-)

Info
In July 2003, the Water Cube design was chosen from 10 proposals in an international architectural competition for the aquatic center project. The Water Cube was specially designed and built by a consortium made up of PTW Architects (an Australian architecture firm), Arup international engineering group, CSCEC (China State Construction Engineering Corporation), and CCDI (China Construction Design International) of Shanghai. The Water Cube's design was initiated by a team effort: the Chinese partners felt a square was more symbolic to Chinese culture and its relationship to the Bird's Nest stadium, while the Sydney based partners came up with the idea of covering the 'cube' with bubbles, symbolising water. It should be noted that contextually the cube symbolises earth whilst the circle (represented by the stadium) represents heaven. Hence symbolically the water cube references Chinese symbolic architecture.
Comprising a steel space frame, it is the largest ETFE clad structure in the world with over 100,000 m² of ETFE pillows that are only 0.2 mm (1/125 of an inch) in total thickness. The ETFE cladding allows more light and heat penetration than traditional glass, resulting in a 30% decrease in energy costs.
The outer wall is based on the Weaire–Phelan structure, a structure devised from the natural formation of bubbles in soap foam.[8] The complex Weaire–Phelan pattern was developed by slicing through bubbles in soap foam, resulting in more irregular, organic patterns than foam bubble structures proposed earlier by the scientist Kelvin.[6] Using the Weaire–Phelan geometry, the Water Cube's exterior cladding is made of 4,000 ETFE bubbles, some as large as 9.14 meters (30 feet) across, with seven different sizes for the roof and 15 for the walls.
The structure had a capacity of 17,000 during the games that is being reduced to 6,000. It also has a total land surface of 65,000 square meters and will cover a total of 32,000 square metres (7.9 acres). Although called the Water Cube, the aquatic center is really a rectangular box (cuboid)- 178 meters (584 feet) square and 31 meters (102 feet) high.

Case a cubo, di Piet Blom, accanto all'uscita Blaak Metro, Rotterdam, Olanda.
Cube houses designed by Piet Blom, next to the Blaak Metro station, Rotterdam, Holland.
These houses were built in the early 80's and belong to the Structuralism movement of which Piet Blom is a representative, along with Aldo van Eyck and Herman Hertzberger.
Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45°, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other.
As residents were 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 allowing tourists to visit it.
The Rotterdam houses contain three floors: ground floor entrance, first floor with a living room and open kitchen, second floor with two bedrooms and a bathroom and the top floor which is sometimes a small roof-garden. The walls and windows are angled at 54.7°. The total area of the apartment is approximately 100m², but about a quarter of the space is not usable because the walls are under the angled ceilings.
Taking away pieces does not break the continuity of the connecting line, but it does change the geometry of the connections.

Art CUBE is a project that takes the common notion of the frame, a solid border that usually surrounds a picture or painting, and transforms this boundary into a temporary outdoor gallery space for Art Alliance Austin. This simple transformation is accomplished by extruding the frame and separating it into two halves. Next, one of the halves is rotated 90 degrees and then interlocked with the other half of the frame. The resulting gaps and spaces between the two pieces form the gallery enclosure and allow light and people to filter through the space. The result is a compact, yet sophisticated space that is secure and enhances the installation of work by selected artists.

Capturing the cube in a cage is quite an interesting imagination.I like it.
For this one, I'd like to call it 囚绿记(capturing green).
"The Cube" är min tolkning till Fotosöndag och tema "Aha",
Idag blev det en annorlunda tolkning när min ursprungliga idé inte riktigt blev vad jag räknat med, å andra sidan tvingade det mig till något jag inte brukar göra. Förändring är utveckling heter det väl ;)

Core Theatre, Corby Cube, seen here nearing completion. The orchestra pit is on a lift and can be raised to provide a flat floor from the rear of the stage to the rear of the stalls (once the raked bleacher seating has been retracted). The balconies and the 'cornice' are padded crimson brocade, which with the wooden panelling, should give the auditorium an excellent acoustic. It was beset with problems which took a decade to resolve.

this cube was given to me by a blacksmith friend years ago. Every so often I take it in my hands and try to figure out how to use it. Now I had an idea.

Wikipedia: "Der Cube Berlin (Eigenschreibweise cube berlin) ist ein würfelförmiges Bürogebäude auf dem Washingtonplatz in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft zum Berliner Hauptbahnhof, das im Februar 2020 eingeweiht wurde. Das Gebäude ist Teil des 40 Hektar großen Stadtquartiers Europacity und schließt dessen südlichen Teil ab.
Das auffällige zehngeschossige Gebäude mit einer Breite, Höhe und Länge von jeweils 42,5 Metern ist gekennzeichnet durch eine nach innen gefaltete Glasfassade. Die vollflächig mit Falten und Knicken gestaltete Fassade spiegelt die Umgebung wie ein Kaleidoskop. Neben dem individuellen Aussehen erfüllen die Faltungen mehrere praktische Aufgaben: hinter ihnen verbergen sich auf jedem Obergeschoss kleine Terrassen, die aber nur den Mietern zur Verfügung stehen."
Inspired by builds I'd seen online, I decided to invest in a couple of Bluetooth Upgrade kits from Circuit Cubes. These seemed to offer a lot of potential for motorising and controlling small models and machines.
Circuit cubes are a Lego-compatible electric system designed for educational purposes. More information can be seen on the website here:
