Instead of standard rectangular bookcases, St. Mark’s Bookshop in NYC is filled with bookshelves that flow throughout the store in a smooth, wave-like motion. Clouds Architecture Office created the innovative bookcases to stimulate visual experience while shopping.

Wait for the Bus in Baltimore

The giant typographic sculpture that literally spell out the word "bus" is functioning as a bench and also can accommodate two to four people and protect them from rain,sun and wind. And this is the most clear place to wait for a bus ever designed and that's what caught my attention.

This is my first concept model which i did for my concept model project . My concept was unity and i have connected triangular pieces together to show the lessons we have successfully completed. i chose triangular shape pieces because it is a strong shape so i thought to represent unity through strength and each color resenting multiple races linked together as an image for corporation and strength.

My interest towards stained glass designs led me to the way of finding new techniques to do stained glasses.This series of photographs were captured by New York photographer Bing Wright.He takes Photographs of sunset and projects them on broken glasses and after that he re-photographed the reflection and then enlarges the image into a bigger scale.it gives a feeling of standing in front of a stained glass window.

England-based photographer Martin Kimbell uses long exposures and special lighting techniques to create spectacular light trails set against lovely landscapes. To capture each gorgeous spectacle, Kimbell attaches LED lights to a hoop and then tosses it up in the air to document the movement.
