Feeling a little claustrophobic?

Ever felt like you’re always living in a cube? Sometimes it can be a bit boring and claustrophobic, and quite frankly it’s just so conventional since buildings need walls. 

It’s great if you actually have windows in rooms to allow natural sunlight, but what if you don’t have windows? Okay, you could possibly knock down a bit of wall to put in the a window but what kind of view would you get, and it would probably be quite silly. 

A company called Skyfactory has invented a wonderful and creative way to give some light and a window to your room without you having to knock down anything! They provide illusions with virtual images for ceilings and walls that appear as if there is actually a view. In fact the virtual images have gotten to smart that they can change according to season and the time of day.

Creative Noodleys

Who would have known that you could be so creative on creating a cup of noodles??? I mean talk about knowing how to make a boring cup of noodles sell! Thumbs up for their marketing team who took this to the public. The Japanese seem to love it! Honestly I would be curious if I saw it for myself.

Casual conversation turned into reality

When my imagination goes wild, I think of all these possibilities of… well basically anything. A few months ago, out of the blue I pictured a skyscraper in my mind. It wasn’t just any kind of skyscaper, in fact it looked quite organic. I imagined it slowly rotating as I questioned why buildings now had to be static. I suggested that the kinetic energy and perhaps even the friction would not be wasted since it could generate the electric/heat to the inhabitants.

Today was one of those days where I saw part of my mental image of that moving skyscraper turn into reality. As many of the more daring architects create concepts to build in Dubai, one of the architects, David Fisher from Italy had a similar vision. He’s proposing a rotating skyscraper with wind turbines for energy. Take a look at the concept below.

The future in the making

I have a passion for space, so finding out a company, who is dealing with everything to do with space, wants to possibly work together with the company I work at is completely exciting. If you’re like me; someone who finds space fascinating, you’ll have to see this video attached that is posted on their website.

The video shows space exploration with style and ease.
