text: Dell uses Zink Imaging to create an ink-free mobile printer February 10, 2009 11:00 AM Dean Takahashi 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Zink Imaging is steadily expanding its reach for its inkless printing technology as it announces that licensee Dell has released its Dell Wasabi PZ310 Ink-free Mobile printer. Bedford, Mass-based Zink Imaging figured out how to print without inkjet cartridges by embedding dried ink in paper. It heats the ink in precise locations to form an image. This new technology works especially well in creating mobile printers for devices like iPhones, where a normal printer is just too bulky. Zink focuses on manufacturing the paper and licensing the system to its customers. Dell's version is available now on Dell's web site in pink, blue and black. The device weighs just seven ounces and can fit in a pocket. Wendy Caswell, chief executive of Zink, said the Dell deal shows the company is executing its strategy of getting multiple devices with multiple brands. This is the fourth product based on Zink's technology to hit the market. While printer makers such as HP make a ton of money selling ink, Zink hopes to make money with its paper, which is an advanced composite material embedded with yellow, magenta, and cyan dye crystals. The Wasabi can print two-inch by three-inch pictures that users can peeled off and use as stickers. It works with a wide range of devices, including digital cameras, camera phones, netbooks, and laptop computers. It's essentially just like the old instant film cameras from Polaroid, where Zink's founders worked. Previous Zink-based products include the Polaroid PoGo Instant Mobile Printer, which debuted in July 2008. Japan's Tomy launched the Tomy xiao tIP-521 digital camera with built-in mobile printer in November, and Polaroid is shipping its PoGo Instant Digital Camera with built-in Zink printer in the U.S. in March. Caswell said the next-generation of printing devices coming this year will support larger devices. Zink was founded in 2005. It raised $25 million in 2007, but it isn't disclosing all of the funding it has raised to date.

Back with Jets, Edwards expected to play Monday
Following the 2010 season, the Jets had to make the difficult choice of keeping either Holmes or Edwards since they wanted to have the money to be able to pursue other free agents to fill needs. New York considered Holmes the bigger playmaker and signed him to a five-year deal, while Edwards made it clear he'd prefer to return to the Jets at the right price.
That never came, and Edwards eventually signed with the 49ers. During the past offseason, Edwards tweeted regularly about his progress in his recovery from a knee injury that cut short his stint in San Francisco. But, the wide receiver still never heard from the Jets, who went out and drafted Hill — a similar-type receiver — out of Georgia Tech in the second round.
"To not get a phone call or not get an invite to see what was going on," Edwards said, "that's when I mentally (thought), 'Well, it's not going to happen. Let's move on and get myself prepared to play in another situation.'"
So, he signed with Seattle and had a limited role there before tweaking his hamstring while running a route on Dec. 2 at Chicago. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll told Seattle-area reporters Wednesday that the team thought Edwards would be sidelined another three weeks, so it decided to move on.
"I don't think Pete has an M.D.," Edwards said with a laugh. "I'm just joking. That was what they thought. That was his opinion and everybody is entitled to their (opinion). The Jets have a different opinion."
The 29-year-old Edwards, who had no catches against the Jets in Seattle back on Nov. 11, is still a terrific blocker. And he is a good fit for Tony Sparano's run-first offense. He also has a good history with Sanchez, catching 88 passes for 11 touchdowns in two seasons with the Jets. The two also linked up for an 80-yard reception, the longest in the team's postseason history, against Indianapolis in the 2009 playoffs.
"He's one of those guys that knows how to run routes," Sanchez said. "He's played for a long time, understands coverages and picks up things quickly. We're excited to have him back,"
Edwards has also been a personal favorite of Ryan, who routinely praised the receiver during his first stint in New York.
"I was happy to see him, despite the obvious comment," Ryan said with a smile, before adding later: "He knows what I've always thought about Braylon. I've always been a big fan of Braylon's because I like the way he plays. So I think that comment, please. ... There's things privately where I've been called a lot worse from players."

The luminaires can be used in a wide range of retrofit and new construction applications.
Acuity Brands has expanded its LED indoor ambient lighting portfolio with the launch of the Z Series LED striplight by Lithonia Lighting. The Z Series luminaires are compact, low-profile solid-state strips that work in a wide range of retrofit and new construction applications, including uplight and downlight in commercial, retail, manufacturing, warehouse, cove and display. The Z Series luminaires join the portfolio of versatile Lithonia Lighting LED indoor ambient lighting products.
The Z Series luminaires are available in both T5 and T8 lengths, and may be surface-mounted or suspended with chain, aircraft cable or stem. The Z Series luminaires are available in white, galvanized, matte black and smoke gray finishes.
Each LED component is electrically and optically measured during fabrication to ensure that not even the slightest color variance is detectable by the human eye. This LED technology provides color uniformity that exceeds ANSI standards. Z Series LED striplights distribute light down and outward, eliminating shadows between fixtures and scalloped patterns on walls.
Z Series LED striplight fixtures are certified for use in dry and damp locations ranging from -4°F (-20°C) to 86°F (30°C). Fixtures come standard with 0-10V dimming to 10 percent.
Dennis Paul, senior project manager with engineering consultant DC Engineering, said it chose the new Z Series to be installed in the new Meridian Senior Center in Meridian, Idaho, to meet specific challenges.
"The new Meridian Senior Center was a difficult project to illuminate due to the wide range of intended usage, and a stringent 1 watt per square foot energy code allowance for this type of facility," explained Paul. "We needed a fixture with a high lumen output for day-to-day activities, while being able to reduce the lumens for events and functions requiring lower light levels. We also needed a low-maintenance fixture that did not require lamp and ballast replacement within the next 10 years. The Z Series luminaire achieved these goals, while saving the project roughly 21 fixtures compared to fluorescent striplights."

Long Story Short
Tonight we attempt to answer the age-old question: what happens when comedy and tragedy are forced to share the same stage?
Who's Who?
The Composer is an idealistic, impatient, emotional young genius who deplores the frivolity and vulgarity of the world. Since he is very young, he is played by a woman.
The Music Master, his teacher, is older, wiser, and much more practical.
The Butler is a pompous sycophant who couldn't care less about art or music. Because he's supposed to be tone-deaf, he is played by an actor.
The Dancing Master is a sly producer of silly Italian comedies.
Zerbinetta is a sexy, flirtatious young actress who stars in the Dancing Master's shows.
The Soprano is an obnoxious prima donna who plays Ariadne, an ancient Greek princess whose lover abandoned her, in the Composer's opera.
The Tenor is a quick-tempered clod who plays Bacchus, the god of wine, in the Composer's opera.
Harlequin is a likeable, lovesick young clown.
The Nymphs are Ariadne's only companions in her exile upon Naxos; they are Naiad, a water spirit, Dryad, a forest spirit, and Echo, a…well, an echo.
The Comics perform with Zerbinetta and Harlekin; their names are Brighella, Scaramuccio, and Truffaldino.
Where and When?
The Prologue to this opera within an opera takes place in an art-lover's mansion. The opera itself takes place on (a stage representing) the island of Naxos, from Greek myth.
What's Going On?
The wealthiest man in town, eager to dazzle his friends and neighbors and show off his vast wealth, is having a party. The invitation promised a glorious feast, the premiere of a serious opera on the Greek myth of Ariadne (written by the hotshot young composer the entire city is talking about), and a hilarious skit about "Fickle Zerbinetta and Her Four Lovers." But the real climax of the evening—according to the Butler, at least—will be fireworks, in the garden at dusk!
No one dared tell the Composer that the antics of a troupe of Italian clowns would follow the unveiling of his masterpiece, and when he finds out he is livid. But matters grow worse as the dinner drags on, and the Butler announces that, in order to make up the time, the comedians and tragedians must combine their shows; they are both to appear on the same stage at the same time, and must perform ALL their music and text if they hope to be paid. Upon hearing this, the Composer is ready to kill himself, or at least to walk away forever from the rich cretin who could so desecrate his sacred art. Zerbinetta, however, saves the day (and her paycheck) by flirting with the Composer and seducing him into staying.
The resulting mish-mash of a performance veers back and forth between comedy and tragedy. Ariadne, who has been abandoned on an island by her faithless lover, Theseus, longs for death; Zerbinetta and her friends, who evidently inhabit this deserted island, attempt to cheer her up. But she is inconsolable—at least until the young god Bacchus stops by. Bacchus and Ariadne slowly discover each other's identity; they fall in love, and the magic of their love transforms them both. As they sing the conclusion of their opera, the same thing happens—in real life—to Zerbinetta and the Composer.

Israel attacked military goals inside Syria for the second time on Saturday, May 4, 2013. The military research facility is located in Jamraya area of Jebel Qasyoun district and had been first attacked by the Israeli warplanes in late January. According to Syrian officials, the center is used to "improve defense capabilities" of the country. The attack by Israeli warplanes came one week after the US President Barack Obama warned in a meeting with the Jordanian King Abdullah II that using chemical weapons during the ongoing civil war in Syria will "change" the United States' policy toward the crisis in Syria. The threat had been taken by the analysts to reflect a new turn in the United States strategy toward developments in Syria.
Following the failure of a coalition of the Western states, regional Arab countries and Turkey against Syria, and after reports circulated about extensive defeats suffered by the Syrian opposition in the battlefield, the United States, which was previously trying to avoid playing a direct role in regional issues by leaving its regional allies in charge of the affairs, has decided to take its intervention to a higher level. Of course, it should be noted that the foreign policy approach followed by the United States President Barack Obama, as an institutionalist idealist, is much different from the policies adopted by his predecessor, the neoconservative George W. Bush, in terms of ways he chooses to implement his policy. This means that unlike what his predecessor, Bush, did in the case of Iraq, Obama is by no means willing to forge an international coalition led by the United States in order to conquer Syria. In the meantime, the US diplomatic apparatus aims to guide those political forces in the region which are aligned with the US goals to adopt strategies which would be beneficial to the United States interests. Of course, this goal is mostly pursued behind the scenes.
The new puzzle that the United States has been arranging in Syria includes changes in battlefield tactics, providing ground for the transition of power, and making sure about the security of Israel. As for the battlefield tactics, the main effort is focused on controlling borders and laying siege to the Syrian government, instead of making a move in the depth of Syria in order to take over the capital city, Damascus. To this end, the most important measures which have been so far taken by Washington include putting an end to the conflict between Kurds and the Turkish government in order to bring stability to the Syrian regions bordering Turkey; encouraging engagement of Jordan in order to open a new front along Jordan's border with Syria; fomenting new crisis in Iraq while bolstering Al-Qaeda and radical Salafi forces along that country's borders (the result of which has been the ongoing conflict in Iraq between Shias and Sunnis, especially in areas dominated by the Sunni population); and bringing security to the common border between the occupied Palestine and Lebanon. This plan has been faced with serious resistance along the Iraqi and Lebanese borders. According to this plan, all communications between the central government in Syria and the outside world will be cut. At the same time, the Syrian rebels will be armed with advanced weaponry while a no-fly zone will be enforced over Syria. In the long run, a collection of these measures will increase pressures on the Syrian government and make it submit to the West. On the other hand, providing grounds for the transition of power will need the opposition to secure a strong foothold inside the country in parallel with the strengthening of the secular currents in order to unite the opposition. However, in practice, this plan has been facing many stumbling blocks and is very unlikely to be plausible.
The third side of this puzzle is to guarantee the security of Israel with the final goal of allowing it to attack Syria's military and civilian facilities if deemed necessary by officials in Tel Aviv. In this way, while performing as the United States military arm in Syria crisis and also meeting its interest by weakening its neighbor, Israel will also avail of a safe international environment. The crisis in Syria has apparently provided Tel Aviv with a good opportunity to weaken one of the most powerful of Arab armies, which Israel always considered a potential threat to its security, by launching repeated and purposive attacks on the power centers of the Syrian army. Perhaps, Israel had been waiting for years to find an opportunity to reduce the efficiency of the Syrian army and the foreign-backed terrorists operating in Syria have apparently provided it with such an opportunity. In addition, during their latest meeting, the foreign ministers of the Arab League took a submissive measure in the face of Israel when they indicated their readiness to overlook another part of the Palestinian land by offering it to the Israeli regime. The latest attacks by Israel's air force against the 4th Armored Division of the Syrian army – which is commanded by Maher Assad, the brother of the Syrian President Bashar Assad, and is considered one of the most powerful elite units of the Syrian army – can be considered an act of commendation by Israelis to thank the Arab League member states for their recent generosity toward Tel Aviv. The prolonged silence of the Arab states in the face of Israel's air raids against Syria further supports this hypothesis.
Despite the above facts, the US authorities should take good advantage of the past experiences of such people as Zbignew Brzezinski – the national security adviser to former President Jimmy Carter – who had been personally involved in arming the Taliban and the Haqqani group in Afghanistan. Taking part in a recent interview with Bloomberg news network, Brzezinski opined that Obama's claims about Syria using chemical weapons against the rebels has been a mistake while noting that President Barack Obama's setting of a red line if Syria's government used chemical weapons was made "without too much thought." The world-famous expert on the United States foreign policy also noted that the current borders in the region have been made by France and the UK following the World War I and allow for ethnic and religious overlaps. As a result, he noted that, in case of direct intervention in Syria by the US, the entire Middle East region will be involved in the ensuing conflict and this would be a catastrophe for the United States. Brzezinski, however, emphasized that enforcing a no-fly zone over Syria would greatly benefit Salafi groups, including Al-Qaeda.
Military attack against any member of the anti-Israel resistance axis is an experience whose results have been already clarified for the regional and transregional opponents of that axis during the 33-day war in Lebanon and the 22-day war in the Gaza Strip. Although military assault on Syria by Israel and arming Takfiri and Salafi terrorists with more lethal weapons may change the rules of the game in Syria, it will not be able to change the final result as well.

Android in October 2013: Jelly Bean crosses the 50% mark
Google detailed the state of Android OS versions in October and it's has shown that Jelly Bean has passed the 50% adoption rate mark. The three JB releases have all gained ground at the expense of the outdated versions.
2.3 Gingerbread still powers 26.3% of all droids, having fallen more than two percentage points since last month. It's still the second most popular single version after 4.1 Jelly Bean, though.
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich has lost 0.8 percent points of it share and has fallen below the 20% . Honeycomb (3.2) is still at the 0.1% threshold.
As far as Jelly Bean is concerned - all three releases have improved their shares. 4.1 rose by 0.8 points, 4.2 gained 1.9 points, while 4.3 added another 0.8 points. We expect to see some of the share of the first two Jelly Bean releases transfer to 4.3 in the next few months as more updates come in.
Android 4.4 KitKat was announced at the very last moment of the survey, so it didn't make it to the charts. It probably won't have a significant market share next month either as it will only power Nexus devices by that point.

Flashback! 10 Funny Quotes From Early Bones Seasons
One reason we love Bones is because it's filled with the perfect oddball ratio of humor to grossness, and we wouldn't have it any other way. The writers have dreamed up some hilarious lines over the years — especially for Brennan. We've pulled together 10 of our faves. (Of course, we have way more than 10 faves, so stay tuned for more!)
10. Of course he is! (Season 1, Episode 10, "The Woman at the Airport")

9. Brennan's not the only one with sound reasoning skills (Season 1, Episode 11, "The Woman in the Car")

Brennan: To shoot people.
Booth: Not a good response.
Brennan: It's the truth.
Booth: I'm writing "self-defense in the performance of my duties pursuing suspected felons as contracted out to the FBI."
Brennan: So I can shoot them.

Brennan: He touched me with his creepy serial killer hands.
3. Maybe just a little to do with your ass, Bones? (Season 1, Episode 4, "The Man in the Bear")

2. OMG, Hodgins invents a new word! (Season 2, Episode 13, "The Girl in the Gator")
Hodgins: I clicked on a pop-up and got caught in a pornado.
1. It's true: No one's scary when they appear to be crying (Season 1, Episode 19, "The Man in the Morgue")
Bones (to a suspect trying to put a voodoo curse on her): I find very few people scary once they have been poked in the eye.

Eat well. Travel often.
I've lived in Colorado most of my life although I'm not a native. I was born in Boston and moved around with my family when I was little, including living in Switzerland for two years before moving here when I was seven. I feel so lucky to be living in such a beautiful state with four seasons and the mountains nearby. I work in advertising as an art director/graphic designer and love that I get to be creative every day. My job keeps me very busy but I've realized that there's more to life than work. I love to travel and try to do so as often as possible. I've traveled around Europe a few times. I would like to see more of Ireland and really want to visit Scotland. Thailand is also on my list. Stateside I love to go to New York City or San Francisco for the great food and culture. I enjoy laid-back bars and pubs with good beer. (I love stouts and porters.) In the winter I like skiing, staying in and watching movies, and cooking. I love good food and love to try making new things. Baking is also a creative outlet for me and I enjoy whipping up yummy treats at random. My go-to recipe is an apple frangipane tart. In the summer I like to enjoy the sunshine and go to farmers' markets, hike, attend soccer games, concerts, etc. Music is something I couldn't live without. I listen to pretty much everything, but I especially like folk, alternative, blues and old jazz. If I can listen to good music with a good scotch in hand I'm a happy human. I'm looking for someone who's kind, driven, down-to-earth, likes to try new things and challenges me to do the same, and can make me laugh. Picky eaters, tattoos and cats (I'm allergic) are a turn off for me. I like someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously and can poke fun at themselves. I'm really close with my family and friends and am looking for someone who shares the same values. If this sounds like you, send me a message!

Taking Wi-Fi power to the people
- Related Stories
Free Wi-Fi in S.F. more than flipping a switchMay 5, 2006
Municipal broadband and wireless projects mapMay 3, 2006
EarthLink wins Philly Wi-Fi contractOctober 4, 2005
On Friday, the company will give away its Wi-Fi routers, which will allow broadband subscribers to share their Internet connections with Wi-Fi users throughout their communities. "Freedom Friday," as the company is calling the event, will kick off at noon in San Francisco's Union Square.
Citywide Wi-Fi networks, which are built and managed by a city alone or in partnership with a private company, have become popular in the last couple of years as large cities such as Philadelphia, New Orleans and San Francisco have promised ubiquitous Wi-Fi coverage within their borders.
While access to Wi-Fi itself is cheap--it doesn't require expensive radio licenses and is readily accessible by just about every laptop on the market today--building and operating these citywide networks still costs money. Philadelphia estimates it will spend $10 million to build and maintain its network over the next several years. And San Francisco said it will spend $15 million--including maintenance and upgrades--over the next decade.
In total, network providers and local governments building their own networks are expected to spend $235 million to build and operate citywide networks in 2006 alone, according to MuniWireless.com, a Web site that tracks the market. And by 2010, more than $3 billion will spent on these networks, the Web site said in a recent report.
Despite all the hype, only a handful of major cities have Wi-Fi networks up and running. San Francisco, for example, is still negotiating its contract with EarthLink and Google, which were selected to build the network. And New York City is still studying its options.
This is where FON comes in. The company, which, ironically, counts Google as one of its backers, says it has a solution that can be deployed now at very little cost to the city or its residents.
Video: Free Wi-Fi anyone?
Spain-based FON handed out free "La Fonera" routers in San Francisco, and CNET News.com's Neha Tiwari was there.
"San Francisco or any other city doesn't have to wait for new Wi-Fi networks to be built," said Joanna Rees, chairman of U.S. operations for FON. "There are 400 million Wi-Fi connections around the world. If we could get all of them to become part of the FON community and share their Wi-Fi, we would have ubiquitous coverage around the world today. And we wouldn't need to build municipal Wi-Fi networks."
FON's software allows broadband subscribers to split their Internet connection so that it offers a secure connection indoors and an open connection to people outside the home. Initially, the software could be downloaded onto existing home routers. But this proved too difficult for most people, so FON built its own, small router, called La Fonera.
The La Fonera router, which uses standard 802.11g technology, was introduced only a few weeks ago. It was designed for easy installation. Users simply plug the device into their existing broadband modem, and, voila, their broadband connection is converted into a FON access point.
Currently, about 112,000 La Fonera and FON-enabled routers have been registered with the company. To help spur adoption it's been offering the routers on its Web site for $5 apiece. It's also taking its promotion on the road, offering routers for free in cities such as San Francisco and in New York, where it's planning an East coast "Freedom" event for later this year.
Once users have registered, they become part of the FON community, which allows them free access to any FON hot spot in the world. Non-FON members can also access the network, but they must pay $1 or $2 for 24 hours of access. This small fee is actually how FON generates revenue.

- Economics says this is a silly idea.
- Unless service providers are will to cut down the price of providing internet service to the home, I don't see the benefit of sharing my internet service so that FON can make money.

- exchange...
- Your profit is in the fact that you will be able to access the Internet via other foneros's , so Fon users are called, wi-fi access point. You trade part of your bandwith at your home with some of the bandwidth "owned" by others... it's the same concept behind P2P, and recent history told us P2P was not killed by economy's rules at all, it rather told us that those rules were shaken to their very foundations by P2P. The only enemy Fon can fear is the law... I live in Italy, and here you can't transmit on the wi-fi wavelength if you're not an internet provider or an authorized institution, so a fonero sharing his/her bandwith would be abusively transmitting and therefore an outlaw. Thus, I think you should just appreciate to be able to, at least, try and evaluate such a chance.

- you don't see the point of sharing, uh?,
if you share you'rer conection for free you can conect to internet with your laptop for free, everywhere in the "fon network" with your login username. This is called "linus"
Also if you don't want this fon offers to pay you some of the revenue generated by the "aliens". this is called "Bill's". :)

- Economics says this is a silly idea. Not.
- Sharing services with free riders in order to share their services AS a free rider makes eminent sense. Whether you personally value the service provided you by others depends, of course, on whether you have any need for it. If you do home swapping, then you are using the same model as Foner. If you never travel then you'll not have any need of it and therefore will value it low enough that your resentment of the profit made by the coordinator (Foner in this case, the home-swapping agency in the example) trumps your enjoyment of the opportunity.

- Free computer, Free million, now free AP
- First we had free computers, if you tolerate ads. I can't remember the company names.
Then we had iwon with chance to win one million dollars.
Now, it's Fon blowing $20 million giving away APs. In 60 days, the 500 APs will disappear into the closet of old junk. Users who install it, risk losing their broadband service for reselling.
I guess we never learn that technology should be cool products first, and marketing second. Fon clearly has no product and no web2.0 sense.

nhow Hotel – Berlin
nhow Berlin is the new brand of the Spanish NH Hotel chain. According to the hotel, nhow is all about being 'unconventional, life affirmative, constantly in movement, locally rooted while at home anywhere in the world — an idea, in other words, corresponding to lifestyle of the new creative class.'
The hotel opened in November 2010 and placed design, art and music at the heart of what it wanted to achieve. Therefore, in essence the hotel seeks to be the lifestyle hotel of choice among the burgeoning music scene in Berlin. So much so that the hotel even features its very own nhow Music Sound Floor, which is run by Hansa Studios – a place where singers such as U2, REM and David Bowie have recorded!
The architecture is by Sergei Tchoban, and has a striking presence compared to its surroundings. The interior is by the internationally known Karim Rashid, whose signature style is Pop Art – as you can clearly see from the interior! We absolutely love this hotel, it has strong principals and looks to die for, who wouldn't want to stay at such a top class hotel?
KBP West Offices – San Francisco
Advertising agency KBP West has recently commissioned Jensen Architects to design its San Francisco head offices. The offices are very vibrant, colourful and quirky to say the least. They incorporate three separated wings, partioned by acoustically sealed folding doors. This allows the areas to be used simultaneously for different tasks without interference, while at the same time if required the doors can be opened to merge into a large meeting space. There are also four meetings rooms, each with different themes, materials and colours. Despite the use of strong themes and colours the whole office seems to compliment each segregated part, thereby creating a unity.
Other cool features include walls coated with chalky substance, allowing for quick and easy notation of ideas in the heat of the moment. It is also a very aesthetically pleasing touch, working well with other components of the design. Lastly, there is also an indoor garden and 16ft dining counter to finish off the space.

A Home Office for the Baroque at Heart
The office space is absolutely stunning. From the bold and very elegant choice in wallpaper to the monochrome theme (with a touch of peach blossoms), we're just loving everything about this space.

Tocquigny Offices
They're Snapshots from the office of Tocquigny, an advertising and measurement agency based in Austin. Tocquigny (toe-kee-nyee, if you feel like saying it out loud) actually started out as a design studio, and moved into running interactive ad campaigns and then reporting the results. Today, they work with some pretty big companies, including IBM, AMD, and Seagate.
Playing the Building
Creative Time presents Playing the building, a sound installation in which the infrastructure, the physical plant of the building, is converted into a giant musical instrument. Devices are attached to the building structure — to the metal beams and pillars, the heating pipes, the water pipes — and are used to make these things produce sound. The activations are of three types: wind, vibration, striking. The devices do not produce sound themselves, but they cause the building elements to vibrate, resonate and oscillate so that the building itself becomes a very large musical instrument.

Aroma Espresso
The Israeli cafe chain Aroma Espresso Bar recently opened its second location in New York, on Manhattan's Upper West Side. With vibrant colors, playful wall graphics and designer chairs styled for lingering, the two-level coffeehouse translates the concept for the company's original New York venue—a long, narrow Soho space with a huge window facade—to a completely different neighborhood vibe. The material template starts with red wall tiles that arch down from the ceiling and extend the brand's modern-yet-homey ambiance. "We took the colors that are characteristic of Aroma in Israel, and created a more comfortable feel, like a kitchen at home," said Ilan Waisbrod, president of Studio Gaia, which designed New York restaurants Republic, Cafeteria, and BondSt, and now has a busy international practice. The distinctive rhythmic arches, separated by niches that contain indirect lighting fixtures, are just one of many strong visual statements that give the space its dynamic, theatrical look, while also giving this dowdy stretch of 72nd Street some much-needed pizzazz. The firm has designed a third Manhattan Aroma location, soon to open in the Financial District, where a more muted material palette and earth-toned color scheme seem in keeping with a buttoned-down Wall Street audience.
Benthem Crouwel designed a new visitor and research center for the Heimbach Group in Düren, Germany. The new building of the Research and Visitor Center is an 'in-house-designed house'. Two new building will be added to two existing buildings and a lightweight roof will be placed over them.
The design concept looks very familiar. The dutch architectural firm also applied this white, lightweight rooftop in their design for the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, currently under development. This museum was also partly renovated and a new open glass structure was added, just like the visitor and research centre of the Heimbach Group. It makes one wonder what Benthem Crouwel Architects will come up with next.
