Energy-producing shell covered with hairs that can extract wind energy

From David Report

Belatchew Architects presents a visionary idea called STRAWSCRAPER, the first project to come out of their business called Belatchew Labs. STRAWSCRAPER is an extension of the south tower on Södermalm in Stockholm with a new energy-producing shell covered with hairs that can extract wind energy. What was originally meant to be 40 storeys became only 26. The South Tower on Södermalm in central Stockholm was completed in 1997, but the architect Henning Larsen had then dropped out of the mission ... Quick Read

Milan Design Week 2013 ? part one

From David Report

We left Milan Design Week 2013 with different impressions. Some things were very disappointing. Superstudio seems to be totally out of artist direction and has been in a negative trend for many years (so far from the first years when Giulio Cappellini hand-picked the different brands). Also the Zona Tortona area in general was weak this year. Moooi was standing out, but mostly because of the blow-up size of the show. On the other hand we found some a couple of interesting shows and places at ... Quick Read
