La plupart des hommes pratiquent la pogonotomie sans le savoir. La pogonotomie étant l'art de se tailler ou se raser la barbe soi-même. Le terme vient du grec "pogos" (barbe), et "temno" (couper).

Selon les astronautes qui reviennent de mission, l'espace sent le "steak grillé" ou le "métal chaud" ou encore la "fumée de soudage".

Vindö by Max HolstMax Holst Arkitektontor is an architecure practice based in Stockholm, Sweden. The holiday house presented here is located on Vindö, an island in the Stockholm archipelago. Standing on a 10-meter-high ridge, the house was quite a challenge for both the architect and the developer. The project eventually came out as a perfect shelter for those tired of city life. We can easily imagine the delight of sharing a tea with friends on a chamber terrace with such a magnificent view on pine forest.
"The site is located on Vindö, an island in the Stockholm archipelago, Sweden. Upon first glance the site appears a fairly typical archipelago plot with granite outcrops, pine trees and blueberry bushes but soon reveals it’s unusual dramatic topography presenting an exciting opportunity to the architect. The orientation of the ridge dictates the building’s form and the spatial subdivisions and the spatial emphasis is on the large living, dining and kitchen space, which leads onto to a large sheltered terrace towards south/east. The material palette is simple and essentially rooted in local building traditions. The only setback from this strict systematisation occurs in the bathroom where the room is simply not suited for these measurements. Room dimensions fell easily into place, becoming an exercise in creating dynamic spaces with a constant connection to the sky and surrounding forest, all within this framework."
