Cerene Skylight by Ahrend
Dezeen Showroom: Dutch office furniture brand Ahrend has introduced a light fixture that is integrated into office pod ceilings to mimic the look of blue sky through a skylight.
Compatible with Ahrend's Meet and Meet XL pods, the Cerene Skylight casts realistic natural daylight into indoor spaces that would be otherwise dark and without sunlight.
The Cerene skylight is an optional addition to Ahrend's Meet and Meet XL podsThe product uses lighting company Signify's NatureConnect solution, and Ahrend says the fixture mimics a skylight so convincingly that it is indistinguishable from a real window.
The lighting design is meant to counter the negative effects...
"The final effect is nothing short of poetic" says commenter
In this week's comments update, readers are discussing a circular house designed by Fernanda Canales in a remote area outside Valle de Bravo, Mexico.
Named House 720 Degrees, the circular house surrounds an open courtyard in the middle and was conceived to resemble a sundial.
Fernanda Canales orients circular Mexican house as "solar clock""Rigorous to the point of sterility"
Readers were divided. "Really love the raw quality of the concrete," observed JZ.
Miles Teg chimed in to say "leaving that inner courtyard completely barren pays off marvelously" and determined that "the final effect is nothing short of poetic".

Круто, когда в метро строят кроссплатформенные пересадки. Это как на Китай-городе в Москве, когда поезд другой линии останавливается на той же платформе. На студийной «Схеме через сто лет» это было изображено вот так:
Видите, линии заранее переплетают так, чтобы рядом оказывались направления, пересадка между которыми наиболее вероятна. Инженерная заморочка, но зато пассажирам кайф.
В Гонконге строят ещё более замороченные, но ещё более кайфовые для пассажиров пересадки — двойные кроссплатформенные пересадки, или просто двойные пересадки (double interchange). Это когда между линиями делают две подряд кроссплатформенные пересадки, переплетая линии по-разному, чтобы было удобно пересаживаться во всех направлениях:
Из ВикипедииРаньше они даже обозначали такое на схеме метро вот так:
Когда едешь в поезде, на схеме над дверью тебе подсвечивают следующие станции, а когда подъезжаешь к такой чудо-станции,...

Since its beginning in 2012, this process has evolved, consolidating a stance that seeks to design architecture from and...
