Berlin is well-known for its diverse and progressive architecture. While you may not find the Ludwig Erhard Haus in any tour books, its futuristic foyer is worth the trip. The building was designed by English architect Nicholas Grimshaw in 1994 and is used as a service center for the Chamber of Commerce and the Berlin Stock Exchange.
Berliners call the building “the armadillo” due to its distinctive shape.
The elevators really stand out to me. They look like futuristic space pods…

I decided to take a gander at the old City of Austin Power Plant in downtown Austin to due do some energy research for a future robotics facility and take some photos of the popular site. The Art Deco Seaholm Power Plant has been an Austin icon since its construction in the early 1950’s. The plant is constructed from solid concrete, which is unique from most steel & brick power plants of its time. The complex also contains electric utility substation, transmission and distribution facilities and a utility microwave communications center.

The plant operated until 1989, and in 1996, Austin City Council authorized the decommissioning of the Seaholm Power Plant. The site is now being redesigned to be used as office space, retail, condos, hotel, and event space.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get to make it down at night, but the Power Plant looks amazing with the red glow behind the sign. Check it out here.

Check out the incredible work of John Nolan Animatronics — creepy, clever, and fascinating all rolled into one. It would be pretty awesome to spend some time in his workshop playing around with his machines.

Concerts, Landmarks, Sporting Events… and much much more. This prototype camera developed by the Computer Graphics Group at Technische University in Berlin is unlike any camera I’ve ever seen.
Upon tossing the ball into the air, the microcontroller inside the device processes data that comes from an accelerometer, which senses the highest point the ball reaches so the ball can take a bunch of photos with its 36 2.o megapixel cameras before falling back down to Earth. The chassis is built using solid freeform fabrication technology, and the ball appears to have some decent foam padding just in case you happen to drop it on the decent.
I think it would be great if they could mount these cameras in a basketball and get great panoramic shots from the ball during the NBA finals.
Find more detailed information on the specs here.

“Life imitates art imitates life.” Most of this photography is from Nikon’s Small World Photomicrography Competition. From their site:
Small World is regarded as the leading forum for showcasing the beauty and complexity of life as seen through the light microscope. For over 30 years, Nikon has rewarded the world’s best photomicrographers who make critically important scientific contributions to life sciences, bio-research and materials science.
Scientists aren’t often known for creating great works of art, but it’s hard to argue that the photos above, and others like them, are not fascinating pieces that evoke a sense of excitement and mystery.

One of the reasons science may not have mainstream appeal is that it is often difficult to visualize and fails to inspire.
