Cube design museum & Cooper Hewitt presenteren wereldtop designinnovaties om de aarde te redden in simultane expositie: De 62 meest vooruitstrevende designers wereldwijd van de afgelopen drie jaar.
Cube design museum & Cooper Hewitt present international design innovations to help save the earth in simultaneous exhibition: the world's 64 most progressive designs of the last three years. On view May 10th 2019 through Jan. 20th. 2020.
Kubuswoningen, or cube houses, are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam in The Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom in 1984. The houses in Rotterdam are located on Overblaak Street, and beside the Blaak Subway Station.
Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, 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 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 houses contain three floors:
- ground floor entrance
- first floor with living room and open kitchen
- second floor with two bedrooms and bathroom
- top floor which is sometimes used as a small garden
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.
Cubed is a set of programmable game cubes which re-invent traditional games such as Treasure Hunt and Hide and Seek. As you play and collaborate with others in each new game, watch the cubes pulse and glow as they communicate through infra-red technology.
Cubed and the Portable Pixel Playground were part of the Abandon Normal Devices Festival. To find out more about the festival head to the website: www.andfestival.org

Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics is a basic research centre dedicated to exploring the world around us at its most fundamental level. It began in the summer of 1999 when Mike Lazaridis, founder of Research in Motion and the innovator who was instrumental in launching the smart phone revolution, found himself in a position to help foster research and innovation in Canada by establishing a world-class institute devoted to theoretical physics.
Research
Since research operations began in the fall of 2001, the Institute has grown to include over 80 resident researchers who are involved in day-to-day operations. Additionally, the vigorous Visitor Program has enabled PI to host hundreds of international researchers each year for collaborations and workshops. The current groups involved with cross-disciplinary research include Condensed Matter, Cosmology & Gravitation, Particle Physics, Quantum Foundations, Quantum Gravity, Quantum Information Theory, Superstring Theory and related areas.
Training
Among activities that help develop future generations of scientists, is the innovative Perimeter Scholars International. This research training program exposes rising talent from around the world to the full spectrum of theoretical physics, bringing them rapidly to the leading edge of current research.
Outreach
In addition to the scientific operations, Perimeter Institute also shares the importance of basic research and the power of theoretical physics with the wider community. The award winning educational outreach team provides specifically crafted programs and educational resources for youth, teachers and members of the general public across Canada and beyond.
Funding
Perimeter Institute is an independent, non-profit, charitable organization focused on scientific research, training and educational outreach in theoretical physics. The Institute is funded through an innovative public-private partnership - uniting governments, individuals, corporations, and foundations in a shared enterprise to help advance scientific breakthroughs, nurture scientific talent, and share scientific discovery with the broader public.
Workplace
Perimeter Institute endeavors to foster an inclusive culture that embraces and celebrates the diversity of our organization. We are committed to providing a safe, comfortable, harassment-free working environment for all students, scientists, support staff and volunteers, regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, religion or place of origin. We have a zero tolerance policy towards any form of harassment, discrimination, or violence in the workplace. Trust and mutual respect are the basis of our community.

The one on the right is an actual Rubik's cube, the other is part of Rubik's Cruet, and is actually a fully functioning pepper mill. I also have one for the salt, which is white on top.
Couldn't resist them.
I missed this place, have several shots to work on, and some projects, but I need time, or at least scape a bit from the routine...
This was easy and fun. Only took me about 30 min. I wanted to do this for a long time, so around 3:20 a.m. I decided to do it, simple but it's done. There are about 65 frames, the model is my Rubik's Cube, mounted the camera on a tripod, and used Picasa to make the video. Music is "Searching for Truth" by Dj Tiesto.
No editing of the photos, and used a lamp on left for ilumination, and nice shadow.

David Nash describes the cube, sphere and pyramid as ‘universal forms’ that we naturally see in our environment. He has placed this bronze Cube, Sphere, Pyramid so that their black forms are reflected in the trunks of the surrounding tree ferns.
Universal forms in nature
Squares, triangles and circles are the underlying, universal shapes and forms of nature - Nash often observes them in the hills and slate tips of his surroundings in Wales. The sphere has a rounded, turning feel, the cube has stability and the pyramid is dynamic.
'For over thirty years, I have lived at the foot of one of Blaenau Ffestiniog's slate tips, formed from unusable slate from the workings... the structure of the tip is one of horizontal and diagonal lines,' Nash explains. 'My work involves geometric cuts into the natural form of the wood and I think that these geometrical forms have grown in me while I have lived among these slate tips.'
I made this for an engineering class in ninth grade and 3D-printed it off. Photo features the hands of Colleen London (ma)
