Good wood - Spanish hacienda meets Taiwanese minimalism in this stunning apartment in New Taipei. Love the combination of concrete and wood and classic and modern styles.

Surreal Astronauts Paintings by Scott Listfield

Scott Listfield (b. 1976, Boston, MA) is known for his paintings featuring a lone exploratory astronaut lost in a landscape cluttered with pop culture icons, corporate logos, and tongue-in-cheek science fiction references. Scott studied art at Dartmouth College, which was maybe not the brightest thing to do. After some time spent abroad, Scott returned to America where, right around the year 2001, Scott began painting astronauts and, sometimes, dinosaurs. Scott has been profiled in Wired Magazine, the Boston Globe, and online at Big Red and Shiny. Additionally, his work has appeared in New American Paintings in 2005 and 2008, and he has exhibited extensively in Boston, and less extensively in Los Angeles, New York, and Miami.

“24 concentric lines indicating the hours of the day are cut by the hands of the minute and hour as a metaphor of life, where everything flows and the time for a second stop”

Transformable Meeting Spaces

The MIT School of Architecture’s Self-Assembly Lab has teamed up with Google to create Transformable Meeting Spaces, a project that utilizes woven structure research in wood and fiberglass pods that descend from the ceiling, transforming a large space into a smaller one. Designed as a small-scale intervention for reconfiguring open office plans—which “have been shown to decrease productivity due to noise and privacy challenges”—the pods require no electromechanical systems to function, but rather employ a flexible skeleton and counterweight to change shape.
