"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."

Birmingham's The Cube has been nick-named 'Tetris Tower', and it's not hard to see the resemblance.
Designed by Ken Shuttleworth of MAKE Architects, The Cube was completed in August 2010 and currently stands largely empty until the economic crisis relaxes and the apartments, shops, restaurants, bars and offices begin to fill out.
PS. To those that know me, I'm NOT photographing Selfridges any more - Been there, done that ;-)
Thanks, ND 2011
just practicing with camera, no photoshop except of the frame and this is not me sitting in the cube ;)
A swarm of cubes after the Cube Project.
In a short period when the LEA AIR sims where free for a night and a day, i could test some more Cube swarms.
I didn't keep count but in total i used 7500 prims / 12 = 625 cubes = 5 x 5 x 5 x 5. Here you can see some images, but it would be better to film it, to see the behavior.
I used the swarm script of Apotheus Silverman.

I changed a few parameters and the behavior or state (flex or not flex)of the rootprim to get some control over the swarm.
Still every moment hundreds go off sim and end up in Lost an found folder.
The Cubes are 10m x 10m x 10m and each edge is formed by a 10 x 0.2 x 0.2 m Prim . The Swarm traveled over 2 sims (a sim is 256x256x4096m ) the day later it seemed they used all 20 sims :-) .

Inside the cube at the discovery science center is amazing. You've seen it off the freeway. This is the other side. I took this with my iPhone and then used the Format126 app on the LoFi setting to enhance the colors.

The cube remains beyond description. And the most difficult thing to capture with words. I might start by saying it is a room, built with 4 walls, a ceiling and a floor, but after decorating and chuscaping these numbers flux-chuate depending upon where you are looking from. The form of the cube seems to be related to the average height of human sight, so that distortions and impossible objects can formulate in the spaces, using that OPTICAL data as a starting point. The content of the cube or CHUBE is further scenarios from the rise of the audio components, this time hooking into and out of the giant alphabetical words: NOT BIG AND NOT CLEVER. Icons of electronic music culture, remix culture and audio engineering anarchy, turntables, tape-loops and speakers on the loose, chased by cables through cityscapes, IN TURN chased by phantom power leads and microphone jacks. The electric word, electrified, like the mechanical bride - the words rise and the machines too, in a great torrent of seeing. In the cube i see no nouns, i only see verbs.
Using a reflector I made from posterboard and aluminum foil, I wanted to work on single flash light bouncing. The cube just happened to be my target.

The Cube of Concern was founded to spread the message on conserving water.
From their Facebook group: " We are a group of children called "Eco-Angles". We have chosen water conservation as our prime focus as it is the most important resource for us till date. We can stay without food but it is impossible to stay without water. Seeing the amount of wastage of this prime resource of ours we have taken this step forward to spread awareness of this important issue to see and hope for a better tomorrow. Eco Angles is a group formed by the 'Apun ka Club' and the creative class of 'Drawing from Within'. "
