If there’s one machine that should adhere to utilitarianism, it’s the tractor. This one by Artur Gaca, called Norss Tractor, does so beautifully. It’s an all-electric, no-frills rover designed with one thing in mind: to get the job done. Interestingly, its resulting simplicity and symmetry are expertly executed for a look that’s undeniably artistic. At the heart of the design is a mobile driver’s cab unit that is set on a track and capable of moving from one end to the other, providing the operator with enhanced views from the glass cockpit. For areas that are harder to see, lights and cameras have replaced mirrors.

Strictly in terms of size, the BBQ Suitcase by Kikkerland is no larger than an iPad Pro, if you were to factor in the thickness, I’d compare it to an encyclopedia. Yet it fits a fully functional grill into its rather neat and compact footprint! Perfect for carrying around in your car or even on your person (it’ll fit into a backpack pretty easily), the BBQ Suitcase comes in stainless steel and opens up from a tiffin-box to a completely capable grill enough to barbecue food for two.

We’ve seen a few portable grills before. If you remember the Notebook Charcoal Grill, it’s still the world’s slimmest portable grill, but the caveat is that it’s still pretty large even when folded, and can’t be carried in a backpack. The BBQ Suitcase feels natural to carry. It is, honestly, designed a lot like a lunch-box, and a good thing too, because you can prepare some rather stellar lunches on it!

Designed ultimately for convenience, the portable barbecue comes with a kickstand to give it stability, and even an ash catcher that allows the product to stay mess-free. Once closed, a rather neat handle+lock allows you to secure it, carry it around, and stow it away, for another beautiful cookout!

Ice in Antartica is in constant (very slow) motion, and as ocean waters warm, the flow of ice accelerates. The New York Times mapped the flows, showing where the ice is headed.

And, if you’re interested in how they did this, NYT graphics editor Derek Watkins provides the rundown.

Las figuras de papiroflexia que ha ideado Haruki Nakamura son divertidas y originales porque, a diferencia de las tradicionales, estas cambian su morfología en un momento.

En una primera instancia, la figura se encuentra en un formato 2D, totalmente plano. Al dejarla sobre la mesa se activan los resortes que hacen aparecer, como por arte de magia, la figura completa en 3D.

Aunque me refiero a ellas como figuras de origami o papiroflexia, en realidad este arte responde al nombre de "Kamikara", que es un término derivado de las palabras "kami" (papel) y "karakuri" (mecanismo o truco).

Ahora, en slow motion...

Están disponibles en diferentes modelos que se presentan en forma de libro. Conejitos, tortuguitas, monitos, cocodrilitos... todos tienen su versión mutante.

Rawhiti Bach by Studio Pacific Architecture in Bay of Islands has been designed to be long lasting, be grounded in the site, engage with the landscape, reinforce the sense of place, and sculpt light and views. 

The main building provides the primary gathering spaces, main bedroom, informal ‘loft’ space, and a boat store. Together these contain a trace of the spatial arrangements of the previous bach, leading to a form designed as an assemblage of objects, with intended misalignments, slippages and quirks. It launches out of the ground, projecting out to near and distant views.

The sleepout takes its lead from the site’s geographical qualities and, as a counterpoint to the main building, hunkers down into the hillside. It provides bedrooms that offer a retreat from the communal bustle of the main building. Shutters create a dynamic façade providing occupants with control over privacy and views to the landscape beyond.
