Mixed-use building containing co-working spaces, an event venue, a food hall, a café, and a rooftop terrace
What I have in mind when I design and shape a model:
1) Main structure (here in black) with this specific shape for the feet, then the trinagular body and curve beak
2) Then, I link all the part with the movement, showed here with the green arrow
The striking and unique interior of the design district canteen, in North Greenwich, London, serving a fantastic variety of street food downstairs. The opaque, yellow bubbles of the exterior are a stark contrast to the surrounding buildings.

I spied a curious assortment of objects in my neighbour's front yard when I was going for my evening stroll. When I moved in for a closer look, I saw that he had constructed himself a makeshift water catchment on his lawn. Garbage bins, buckets, and even upturned umbrellas were laid out in a very carefully considered fashion. I was startled by the sound of a voice; my neighbour had appeared from the garden with two more buckets in hand and was muttering to himself. Unable to hear what he was saying, I opened his front gate and approached him. He seemed blissfully unaware of my presence, and I was able to listen to him for a brief period. It seemed that he was chanting to himself; repeating one phrase over and over, "When it rains."
Prampolini designed the newspaper Futurisimo, edited by Marinetti and Somenzi 1933. Futurism graphics idealized Mussolini in many of their publications.
Designing different sized balls for my next MOC.
From the size 3 x 3 x 3 I have 2 versions with small differences.
I used the colors as a test. The real colors will be visible in my new MOC.
Skylon is a design for a single-stage-to-orbit spaceplane by the British company Reaction Engines Limited (REL), using SABRE, a combined-cycle, air-breathing rocket propulsion system, potentially reusable for 200 flights. In paper studies, the cost per kilogram of payload carried to low Earth orbit in this way is hoped to be reduced from the current £1,108/kg (as of December 2015), including research and development, to around £650/kg, with costs expected to fall much more over time after initial expenditures have amortised. In 2004, the developer estimated the total lifetime cost of the programme to be about $12 billion.
The vehicle design is for a hydrogen-fuelled aircraft that would take off from a purpose-built runway, and accelerate to Mach 5.4 at 26 kilometres (16 mi) altitude using the atmosphere's oxygen before switching the engines to use the internal liquid oxygen (LOX) supply to take it into orbit. Once in orbit it would release its payload (of up to 15 tonnes). The vehicle will be unpiloted, but also be certified to carry passengers. All payloads could be carried in a standardised container compartment. The relatively light vehicle would then re-enter the atmosphere and land on a runway, being protected from the conditions of re-entry by a ceramic composite skin. When on the ground, it would undergo inspection and necessary maintenance. If the design goal is achieved, it should be ready to fly again within two days.
As of 2012, only a small portion of the funding required to develop and build Skylon had been secured. The research and development work on the SABRE engine design is proceeding under a small European Space Agency (ESA) grant. In January 2011, REL submitted a proposal to the British government to request additional funding for the project and in April REL announced that they had secured $350 million of further funding contingent on a test of the engine's precooler technology being successful. Testing of the key technologies was successfully completed in November 2012, allowing Skylon's design to advance to its final phase. On 16 July 2013 the British government pledged £60M to the project: this investment will provide support at a "crucial stage" to allow a full-scale prototype of the SABRE engine to be built.
If all goes to plan, the first ground-based engine tests could happen in 2019, and Skylon could be performing unmanned test flights by 2025. It could carry 15 tonnes of cargo to a 300 km equatorial orbit on each trip, and up to 11 tonnes to the International Space Station, almost 45% more than the capacity of the European Space Agency's ATV vehicle.
This is the first production vehicle and it is used as a testbed to prove the Sklyon concept.
I really enjoyed building this model. It went through multiple re-designs to get the curves and shaping just right. Those of you who play Kerbal Space Program will understand how an SSTO works but if you don't it is an aircraft with rocket engines of some time that is able to climb into orbit to launch satellites then return the entire aircraft to earth to save money.
Enjoy!
