Donald Trump calls for "redesign" of Saarinen-designed Dulles Airport

US president Donald Trump has called for the Eero Saarinen-designed Dulles Airport near Washington DC to be redesigned, with the Department of Transportation announcing plans to "replace or build on" the existing main terminal.

Trump called for the reconstruction of the airport during a Cabinet meeting earlier this week, calling Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) "incorrectly designed" and a "terrible airport".

"It was incorrectly designed with a good building," Trump reportedly said. He went on to compliment the main terminal building, which was designed by Finnish-American architect Saarinen in the 1960s.

"Actually, it's got a beautiful terminal – one of the greatest architects...

Lazy Lighting App Makes Projection Mapping Easy

https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=-mq9-vPx5Ns

This is incredibly clever. An unknown developer has come up with an easy way to do projection mapping, using any projector (as long as it's got HDMI) and your smartphone or tablet. You do this by isolating different zones you'd like to project onto, and turning each of them into a separate channel:

Three channels not enough? Here he breaks it into nine:

Here's a demo where he shows you how to set it up:

The app is called Lazy Lighting. It runs $20 a year, or $130 for a lifetime subscription.

For This Prestigious Contest, Photographers Capture the Planet’s Most Stunning Landscapes

Known as Tse Bitai to the Diné (Navajo) people, or “winged rock,” Ship Rock in New Mexico is an otherworldly geological formation rising out of the desert that can be seen for miles around. The result of a massive volcanic eruption, the unique outcrop consists of a monolithic stack and at least six radiating, serpentine ridges of long-cooled lava.

Originally, Ship Rock was likely a few thousand feet below the ground, but gradual erosion over tens of millions of years has revealed its jagged shape. For Karol Nienartowicz, who won second place in this year’s International Landscape Photographer of the Year...

The Aircrate: A Reusable Bubblewrap Alternative Where You Provide the Air

Paintings can be wrapped in bubble wrap to protect them in storage or during transit. And while bubble wrap is technically reusable, few bother to carefully cut it off and re-coil it, so it often becomes waste.

A Spanish company called Artmor has come up with a neater, reusable and more bespoke solution. Their Aircrate product comes in multiple sizes, and arrives to you like this:

You sleeve the piece, then inflate it with an compressor, a balloon pump or a manual pump:

You get a perfect fit—quickly, without using any tape—and the Aircrate can be...
