A NEW HOME - TO GO PLEASE |
| |
It had to happen. As practically everything we use in the home,
from TV sets to cell phones, ipods and computers, have shrunk in
size and increased in efficiency, it was only a matter of time
before the home itself became a transportable, order-in, pocket
sized commodity. Ok, so it won't fit in your pocket but the
Micro-Compact
Home can be easily craned into position and comes
complete with a sound system, flat screen TV and
air-conditioning. And at roughly 77 sq metres, the two level
dwelling isn't a whole lot smaller than your average inner city
studio apartment. The thoroughly urban invention was a joint
project between students at the Technical University of Munich
and the Tokyo Institute of Technology. Plans for the first
Micro-Compact village using prototype units are currently under
way at the University of Munich campus. Or for 50,000 euros you
can buy your own although we're not sure how welcoming your
local council would be.

THE WORLD'S HOTTEST STADIUM |
| |
Designed by Swiss celebrity architects, Jacques Herzog and Pierre
de Meuron (think Tate Modern in London), the Allianz Arena in
Munich, Germany was opened last week after 3 years in the making.
The 66,000 seat super-modern stadium is the home to both Munich's
1st division football clubs (FC Bayern München and TSV 1860
München). The translucent wall/roof which looks like a rubber
dinghy is made up of high-tech inflatable air cushions that can be
illuminated in 3 colors; red, blue & white. When FC Bayern
plays it turns red and blue when TSV 1860 plays. World Cup 2006 has
never looked better. allianz-arena.de
