Amazing High Speed Bullet Photography by Alexander Augusteijn

Amazing High Speed Bullet Photography Alexander Augusteijn1 Amazing High Speed Bullet Photography by Alexander Augusteijn
Alexander Augusteijn takes high-speed photography up a notch with these photos of bullets shooting through droplets of water.
Alexander Augusteijn says;

I am a photographer from the Netherlands, specializing in high speed photography. I use a normal flash to achieve very short illuminations. The most critical parameter in this kind of photography is timing, which is achieved by computer control of shutter, flash, valve, gun or whatever other device is used.
These kind of images require a lot of experimentation, dedication, patience and willingness to endlessly clean spill of liquids and debris from objects shot to pieces. Several hundreds of trial shots may be needed to get timing correct. After that, the process is pretty well controlled, and often half of the shots will be usable, with 1 out of 10 really interesting.

Bookcase Bed & Desk by Paul Coudamy

Bookcase Bed Desk Paul Coudamy1 Bookcase Bed & Desk by Paul Coudamy

The French architect Paul Coudamy has transformed this upper level of this small Parisian apartment.
Known for his custom solutions for small spaces, the architect made the most of the 23 square meters with a sliding bookshelf, bed and desk unit. The bookshelf slides to expose the bed to the room and hide the desk — or to expose the desk and wrap the bed in a little nook.

The challenge was to provide a 23m2 space with a bedroom, a bathroom, a dressing and a working space. The design is based on a work on the porosity of spaces.
The bookshelf is a mobile block that enables to control the opening of the bed. Its U-shape covers the bed and shapes the room by closing the dressing, the bed or the working space.
This mobile system provides a closed sheltered bed as wished by the client without completely shutting the space. A red carmine gloss paint reinforces the graphical dimension of the space and its delimitation by contrasting with the matt white walls.
The bathroom is covered with resinated concrete and the restroom is hidden behind the doors of a fake vintage wardrobe.

RK Apothecary by The Los Angeles Design Group

RK Apothecary The Los Angeles Design Group1 RK Apothecary by The Los Angeles Design Group
Los Angeles Design Group have created an interior design for RK Apothecary, a store that sells bath and body products. The RK Apothecary space before the redesign was small and dense with structural and mechanical elements that could not be altered.
RK Apothecary The Los Angeles Design Group2 RK Apothecary by The Los Angeles Design Group
The LADGs design had to respond to the existing interior because the client did not have the luxury of gutting it and beginning fresh. The pods have anatomic similarities to the humble strawberry, whose “exterior gives little clue to the structural nature of its interior.

RK Apothecary The Los Angeles Design Group3 RK Apothecary by The Los Angeles Design Group
” The amorphous white, ridged objects are teasingly sliced at certain points to reveal their blood-red, exotic interiors, lit by a single bulb. LADG also experimented with the idea by using water filled ice bags, intrigued by the way they “slumped, folded and wallowed around obstacles.” The pods’ fluid forms are a stark contrast to the sharp angles and hard concrete surfaces of the existing store.

RK Apothecary The Los Angeles Design Group4 RK Apothecary by The Los Angeles Design Group
Designers Andrew Holder and Benajmin Freyinger drew inspiration from still-life paintings by Caravaggio and Rubens.

They say“ these artists used fruit as sumptuous, scene-setting devices in exactly the way we hoped to deploy our to present product in the store. In that sense, the outré fruit is set afloat inside the environment and piled with tempting objects to browse.”

“Plastic Converted Back Into Oil,” Machine by Akinori Ito

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

Akinori Ito, from the Japanese company Blest has developed a machine capable to transform Plastic back into oil to be later used to create gasoline, Diesel and Kerosene. While the process is not so difficult to understand the result is pretty impressive, for every 1kg of plastic, 1 liter of oil can be harvested. Aside from the obvious advantage of this process in targeting issues of plastic recycling, the machine also does not generate any carbon dioxide when put into application.
