We really appreciate the originality of this apartment design by UNStudio located in downtown Manhattan, New York. Called “The Collector’s Loft”, this beautiful home combines the elegance of an art gallery with the coziness of a common apartment. The owner wanted a special place for depositing his books and different artifacts he had collected throughout the years, a crib that would offer him th...

2010. augusztus 17-én Magánszféra és egyenlő bánásmód címmel érdekes írás jelent meg a Magyar Nemzet hasábjain. A cikket jegyző Pokol Béla alkotmányjogász, egyetemi tanár meglepő okfejtést közölt a magánszféra védelmében az egyenlő bánásmód morálelméleti legitimitásáról, egyébiránt válaszként az augusztus 5-én ugyanott megjelent, Varga Károly által szerzett Mindkét félnek igaza van című írás...
It takes a person with true passion for his comic collectables and movie memorabilia to commission a whole display solution worthy of his prized possessions. The Collection Unit is a beautiful wood and steel cabinet designed and built by Flying Cavalries. The surface is intricately laser engraved with details so clear, it’s a little jaw dropping.

This is thanks to a load-balancing hand ( originally developed as a prosthesis ) that relies on flexible joints and a tendon-like closing mechanism.

Beteljesületlen gyerekkori álmaim közé tartozik, hogy olyan galérián aludhassak nap-nap után, amelyik egyben egy védett kis kuckó is, amiben elfelejthetem, hogy létezik a külvilág. Felnőttem végül enélkül is, de azért nagyott dobbant a szívem, mikor megláttam Mademoiselle Astuce égbe emelt kuckóágyát. A galériágy keretét belülről szép, sárgás színekben pompázó vintázs-tapétával borították, kívül...

With its iridescent cellular façade, the swimming facility played host to top notch swimming competitions within an energy efficient and dynamic piece of architecture. But, move over Michael Phelps – there are new swimmers in town! After a ten-month renovation, the facility will now house a 140...
