Pure Geography

So, I found this on a blog mainly containing articles about landscape architecture. However, it also includes things related to that which delves into geography, geology, etc.


This one in particular, Pure Geography, is a really neat combination of landscape architecture, geology, and art. Somehow to me this looks like another planet or a video game. Doesn't quite look real, yet really opens your eyes to possibility for new kinds of landscape architecture.


Located in Punta Pite, Chili this oceanside pathway spans over a 27 acre plot of land. Sure makes it a place you want to add to go visit.

Metal like plastic

This is a pretty cool new application of a new alloy. For non-heat critical applications this allows for production of metal parts with high tolerances (micron level) and less need of machining after manufacturing. As stated on their website, imagine being able to mold a scalpel blade and having it come out of the mold as sharp as needed with no need for machining the blade to a sharp edge... pretty cool.

Resin Coffee Table

For some reason recently I've been into coming up with designs for coffee tables. Maybe it's because it itself is a conversation piece just like the magazines or coffee table books you might keep on one. This one is a great idea, not that cost effective, but the outcome is really nice.

This is pretty neat, funny how people find things to do with something never intended for that use...
