Ah well, so a train had a makeover as Hatsune Miku. I would say how adorable it is, except I honestly fear memorizing the image inside my head and then taking the subway here in Cairo so I can feast my eyes with ugly colors with paint spray on them.

    You can see all the lovely details of the outside of the car as well as the posters, toys, and other displayed items on the inside. You'll also have a look at all the folks who made the line to have a look, and incidentally, if you've ever wondered how those decals get installed on the buses and trains, there's a look at that, too. This train actually operates as a normal street car at the moment, and will through Snow Festival and all the way until the weather starts moving into Spring.

Book Clock by Masaaki Hiromura

The graphic designer Masaaki Hiromura has installed what is perhaps the most analog, digital clock ever.

A hand neurotically and relentlessly flips through the pages as if to remind us that time never stops moving. It’s currently on view at MUJI in Shibuya , which just underwent a major renovation and reopened at the beginning of this month. via Spoon & Tamago .

NEXUS Museum.

Dear all, I was a participant in the international competition "Natural City". The goal was to design a natural sciences museum in the city of Berlin. The following is the briefing:   Project Brief: The building volume sits gently within the urban landscape and is articulated as an assembly of a various majestic geometries that were formed from the natural flow of the site. Together they form an intricate structural composition that is both solid and   symbolic. Integrating an inner green court serves as an exceptional view from the inside as well as serving the purpose of a more sustainable design that will help lowering the heat gain levels in summer. Also, green roofs were integrated as part of the concrete structures, giving the feel of the structure's age and belonging to the site. From the inside, a continuous exhibition space lines is the basis creating a new type of journey for visitors flowing along the project’s axis. The museum’s roof defines an ic...
