وكمبيوتر (Surface) هو عبارة عن حاسب شخصي يعمل بنظام (Windows Vista) ومثبت بطاولة سوداء لامعة ومزود بشاشة لمس مقاس 30 بوصة كما أنه يتمتع بخمس كاميرات يمكنها رصد ومتابعة أي شيء. ويمكن للمستخدمين التفاعل مع الحاسب من خلال اللمس أو حتى من خلال سحب الأشياء والأصابع على الشاشة حيث أن الجهاز يمكنه قراءة الكود (bar code) الخاص بأي شيء أو أي سلعة يتم وضعها على الشاشة.
وعلى خلاف معظم شاشات اللمس فأن الحاسب (Surface) يمكنه الاستجابة لأكثر من لمسة في نفس الوقت وهو ما تم اختباره مؤخرا من خلال جلسة عرض مع أحد المراسلين حيث تم استخدام العشرة أصابع في نفس الوقت. ومن المتوقع أن يتراوح سعر الجهاز الواحد بين 5 إلى 10 آلاف دولار وقد توقعت مايكروسوفت بأن سعر هذا الجهاز سينخفض بحيث يمكن طرح إصدارات خاصة للمستخدمين بعد مدة تتراوح من 3 إلى 5 سنوات.

تخيلوا لما تدخل هالتكنلوجيا لحياتنا @@ تخيلوا شلون بيصير شكل الكمبيوترات اذا انزلت هالتكنلوجيا وشلون بتصير حياتنا اسهل معاها
واول جهاز بيستخدم هالتكنلوجيا هو الاي فون علشان هالاختراع انا ابيه اكثر من اي شي ثاني :)
بليز قولوا لي رايكم

Part of the Neoedonismo Collection, Horn re-interprets the stunning veining of its natural namesake.
Built between 1959 and 1962, this Modern Futurist and Googie building was designed by Eero Saarinen and Associates for Trans World Airlines to serve as a Flight Center, or Terminal headhouse, for their passenger services at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City. The building is an example of thin shell construction, with a parabolic and curved sculptural concrete roof and concrete columns, with many surfaces of the building's structure and exterior being tapered or curved. The building also appears to take inspiration from natural forms, with the roofs appearing like the wings of a bird or bat taking flight. The building served as a passenger terminal from 1962 until 2001, when it was closed.
The building's exterior is dominated by a thin shell concrete roof with parabolic curves, which is divided by ribs into four segments, with the larger, symmetrical north and south segments tapering towards the tallest points of the exterior walls, and soar over angled glass curtain walls underneath. At the ends of the four ribs are Y-shaped concrete columns that curve outwards towards the top and bottom, distributing the weight of the roof structure directly to the foundation. The east and west segments of the roof are smaller, with the west roof angling downwards and forming a canopy over the front entrance with a funnel-shaped sculptural concrete scupper that empties rainwater into a low grate over a drain on the west side of the driveway in front of the building, and the east roof angling slightly upwards, originally providing sweeping views of the tarmac and airfield beyond. The exterior walls of the building beneath the sculptural roof consist of glass curtain walls, with the western exterior wall sitting to the east of the columns and the eastern exterior wall being partially comprised of the eastern columns, with the curtain wall located in the openings between the columns. To the east and west of the taller central section are two half crescent-shaped wings with low-slope roofs, with a curved wall, integrated concrete canopy, tall walls at the ends, and regularly-spaced door openings. To the rear, two concrete tubes with elliptical profiles formerly linked the headhouse to the original concourses, and today link the historic building to the new Terminal 5 and Hotel Towers.
Inside, the building features a great hall with a central mezzanine, and features curved concrete walls and columns, complex staircases, aluminum railings, ticket counters in the two halls to either side of the front entrance, a clock at the center of the ceiling, and skylights below the ribs of the roof. The space features penny tile floors, concrete walls and built-in furniture, red carpeting, and opalescent glass signage. On the west side of the great hall, near the entrance, is a curved concrete counter in front of a large signboard housed in a sculptural concrete and metal shell that once displayed departing and arriving flights. On the north and south sides of this space are former ticket counters and baggage drops, which sit below a vaulted ceiling, with linear light fixtures suspended between curved sculptural concrete piers that terminate some ways below the ceiling. To the east of the entrance is a staircase with minimalist aluminum railings, beyond which is a cantilevered concrete bridge, with balconies and spaces with low ceilings to either side, off which are several shops, restrooms, and telephone booths. On the east side of the bridge is a large sunken lounge with red carpet and concrete benches with red upholstered cushions, surrounded by low concrete walls that feature red-cushioned benches on either side, sitting below a metal analog signboard mounted to the inside of the curtain wall. To the north and south of the lounge are the entrances to the concrete tubes that once provided access to the concourses, which are elliptical in shape, with red carpeted floors and white walls and a white ceiling. On the mezzanine are several former lounges and a restaurant, which feature historic mid-20th Century finishes and fixtures.
The complex includes two contemporary hotel towers, the Saarinen and Hughes wings, which were designed carefully to harmonize with the original building and match its character. The two wings feature concrete end walls, curved Miesian glass curtain walls, and interiors with red carpeting, wooden paneling, brass fittings and fixtures, and white walls and ceilings. The only substantial modification to the structure's significant interior spaces was the puncturing of the two concrete tubes to provide access to these towers. The former terminal also features several service areas that were not previously open to visitors, which today house a massive fitness center, a cavernous underground conference center, and various meeting rooms and ballrooms, with all of these spaces, except the fitness center, being redesigned to match the mid-20th Century modern aesthetics of the rest of the building, with new fixtures, furnishings, and finishes that are inspired directly by the time period in which the building was built, and are nearly seamless in appearance with the rest of the building.
The fantastic building was designated a New York City Landmark in 1994, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. Between 2005 and 2008, the new Terminal 5, occupied by JetBlue, was built, which wraps the structure to the east, and was designed by Gensler, and was carefully placed so as to avoid altering or damaging the character-defining features of the historic terminal. Between 2016 and 2019, the building was rehabilitated in an adaptive reuse project that converted it into the TWA Hotel, which was carried out under the direction of Beyer Blinder Belle, Lubrano Ciavarra Architects, Stonehill Taylor, INC Architecture and Design, as well as the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and MCR/Morse Development. The hotel features 512 guest rooms, large event spaces, a rooftop pool at the top of the Hughes Wing, a large basement fitness center, and a Lockheed Constellation L-1649A "Connie" on a paved courtyard to the east of the building, which houses a cocktail lounge. The hotel is heavily themed around the 1960s, and was very carefully designed to preserve the character of this iconic landmark.
Hot springs are sites where groundwater emerges at the Earth’s surface (or on the seafloor). Hot spring water has to be higher in temperature than the human body (an admittedly arbitrary definition): over 98° Fahrenheit or over 37° Celsius. Geysers are hot springs that episodically erupt columns of water. The highest concentration of geysers and hot springs anywhere is at the Yellowstone Hotspot Volcano in northwestern Wyoming, USA.
Bronze Spring is in the southeastern part of the Geyser Hill Group in Yellowstone's Upper Geyser Basin, located 106 meters south-southeast of Giantess Geyser. It has a rounded subtrapezoidal outline and is about 3 to 3.5 meters across. The vent is located on the western side of the pool. Runoff channels head southeast and south from the spring. This feature is usually a quiet pool with some rising steam bubbles that disturb its surface. Eruptions are not common and usually moderately low. In recent years, small eruptions from Bronze Spring were reported in September 2001, July 2008, August 2009, August 2013, July 2014, September 2018, August 2019, September 2020, October 2021, and June 2024.
Bronze Spring’s border rocks consist of slightly scalloped, light gray subaerial geyserite and light brownish subaqueous, moderately pustulose geyserite. Geyserite, also called siliceous sinter, is a friable to solid chemical sedimentary rock composed of opal (hydrous silica, a.k.a. opaline silica: SiO2•nH2O). Geyserite forms by precipitation of hydrous silica from the issuing hot spring water. The silica is ultimately derived by superheated groundwater leaching of subsurface, late Cenozoic-aged rhyolites, a common volcanic rock at Yellowstone.
I'm not sure what's the purpose of these fragile constructions rising above the surface of small flooded patches.

Surface Magazine No. 65 documents work for the "Project to Surface" exhibition, 2007. The exhibition featured the work of artists David Diao, Kaws, Leah Raintree, Kenji Hirata, Matzu-MTP, adapted by Ben Krone, into 3dimensional pieces that we then programmed for CNC milling.
Project 312
Well today's shot is simply a secondary idea. My primary idea/plan just plane failed so I had to try and pull together another idea. I originally was trying to do a drop of this shampoo, but couldn't get drops to form. So after playing for a while I just really liked how the lines in the shampoo and the bubbles worked together.

here is a first sketch that I’ve made for our first semester project of this year, where we’re investigated shell structures…this is just the primary state as I said, hopefully I will post also the recent state of this studies later this semester

auditorium, Renzo Piano, Roma
"...l’Auditorium di Roma non è un semplice Auditorium ma una vera e propria Città della Musica: con tre sale, un anfiteatro all’aperto, delle grandi sale di prova e di registrazione.
L’avventura, a Roma, si è quindi arricchita di una importante dimensione urbana: l’Auditorium non è soltanto un impianto musicale; c’è anche una piazza, c’è Santa Cecilia, c’è gente che ci lavora, ci sono dei negozi, bar e ristoranti.
Funzioni tutte che affidano a questo progetto l’importante funzione di rendere urbano questo luogo che ha bisogno di urbanità.
I luoghi della cultura, d’altronde, come quelli della musica, hanno la naturale funzione di fecondare il tessuto urbano, sottrarre la città all’imbarbarimento e restituirle quella qualità straordinaria che ha sempre avuto nella storia. Strumenti musicali, quindi, immersi nel verde di un parco della Musica che scende da Villa Glori, avvolge i grandi liuti dell’Auditorium, i due gioielli dello stadio Flaminio e del Palazzetto dello sport e si spinge fino a viale Tiziano regalando alla città di Roma un grande parco di venti ettari abitato dalla Musica.” Renzo Piano
