Chengdu reveals "futuristic" stations for its first fully-automated metro line

J&A and Sepanta Design have created a series of station interiors based on forms and patterns found in nature for the first unmanned metro line in Chengdu, China.

Designed to provoke emotion among their visitors, the 13 stations feature fluid forms and cellular patterns informed by the local tradition of silk weaving as well as the flora and fauna found in surrounding parks.

Trotzdem, das Leben war ein Bankett, ein Bankett auf dem Friedhof, es wurde gesoffen und gesungen, während der Tod lächelnd immer engere Kreise zog.

Ein Blick, ein unvorsichtiges Wenden des Kopfes, alles kann die Schleusen der Erinnerung aufreißen und die Vergangenheit stürzt auf dich ein.

It has been seven years now that I stopped playing ping-pong in a club. To be fair I never really played in these years. Here in our lab we have a room with a pin-pong table and some of my colleagues are playing regularly. I joined them today again and it was good fun. Playing in China, the motherland of ping-pong, was always a dream and although it still was just ping-pong it was something special. And of course people were surprised that I was actually able to play properly – and so was I after all these years.

The sport is still very popular over here and I have seen many people playing in the parks I have visited by now. They have decent numbers of tables which are illuminated by night and usually covered against rain.

We have to end panda on panda violence! #Repost @nytimes with @repostapp. ・・・ “It’s not every day you are pointing your camera at a tree shooting at 240 fps when a #panda gets sidekicked in the head and falls through your frame,” says @jkessel, a @nytvideo journalist who covers #China. “But sometimes it happens.” @jkessel was on #nytassignment for @nytimestravel in #Chengu when he caught this moment on camera. The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding is home to the city’s most famous residents, who seem more than content lazing about in trees most of the time. #🐼 #slowmo
