A Tubular Glass Home That Wraps Around a Tree
by Jack Lowe
Architect Aibek Almassov has designed a tubular glass house which would wrap around an existing tree, bringing nature right into the heart of the home. The design, which doesn't yet have plans to be completed after an investor pulled out, is a response to the "sweltering concrete boxes" so many of us live in all over the world. Another important aspect for Almassov was to not harm the existing environment, using the surrounding trees to improve the design. "Climbing the stairs [in this] unusual house can be compared with the stages of spiritual purification, enlightenment, harmonising with the environment," said Almassov, when speaking to Dezeen.

by Jack Lowe
Described by cyclist Oleksiy Mishchenko as "the funniest thing you'll see today", this short video shows an ostrich in South Africa chasing two cyclists along a quiet road at roughly 30mph. "Suddenly, I spotted a white ostrich on my left, then this beast jumped on the road from the right and started chasing my friends!" said Mishchenko. "Luckily the creature decided to leave us alone ... My guess he wanted to show off in front of his girlfriend." Check out the footage above.
