This beautiful video by Antti T Seppänen / Oiva-filmi shows the making of Carmel Place modular micro apartments building in NYC by nArchitects. The firm’s entry My Micro NY was the winner of New York City sponsored adAPT NYC competition in 2012. This summer the residents moved into the completed building.
James Murphy has this great idea of turning the cold NYC subway turnstile beeps into something beautiful. Brilliant!
The brilliant + POOL project has launched a Kickstarter Campaign take the NYC’s coolest future swimming spot one step closer to reality. The team is asking for your help to be able to build a 35′ x 35′ (11 x 11 m) Float Lab on the East River this August. They want to test the water filtration technologies that they would use in the floating pool. The kickstarter campaign is called Tile by Tile: To make the donations more interesting, you can buy yourself a tile, with a personal engraving, that will actually end up being a part of the final + POOL slated to open in 2016. So essentially you are buying yourself a piece of a giant swimming pool in a premium location while also helping to clean up our environment. Check out more information on the campaign page and pledge to make this ingenious project become reality.
