Treehouse Building To Protect Residents From Noise And Air Pollution

Luciano Pia is an architect from Italy, has wonderfully designed a five story complex apartment which is located in Turin, Italy.A vertical potted forest includes trees and steel girders look like branches and allow residents to feel like they are living in a urban treehouse.This urban treehouse called 25 Verde means 25 Green.25 Verde protects its residents from noise pollution and reduces air pollution in the surrounding.

Lucuano Pia wrote on his website, "the building has been thought as a living forest, a house on the trees like the houses children dream of and sometimes build."

It contains 150 tall trees to absorb approximately 200,000 liters of carbon dioxide an hour and 50 more trees are planted in the courtyard of 63 units building.The seasonal change create perfect microclimate inside the building so temperature falling and rising remain steady in winter and summer.In summer plants foliage block sun rays and in winter allowing sun light to let in.

It is a special building because it is alive: it grows up, it breaths and it changes since 150 trees with tall trunks cover its terraces."

The building has many features such as sun protection, continuous insulation.He wrote the major aim of the project is the increase of the energetic efficiency, continuous insulation, sun protection, heating and cooling systems which make use of the geothermal energy with heat pumps and recycling of the falling rain to water the green.”

Species of plant has been chosen to get the best variety of colours and flowers."When all the green is fully blooming it gives the feeling of living in a tree house." “You can dream of a house or live in a dream!”

Its construction was started in 2007 and ended in 2012.

"Analog Merory Desk" To Save Your Notes, Ideas And Sketches

Kristen Camara, who is a student at the Minnesota College of Art and Design, has made an Analog Merory Desk to record your past memories, notes, smart ideas and doodle.She wrote on his site, "this Memory Desk is a tool to record all the small items you write down once, but intend to forget tomorrow."

The desk is made of maple wood which features 1,100 yards of butcher paper rolls on the desk legs, which covers the desk surface.When the paper surface filled with notes, ideas and drawing, user will get new paper for work just rolls the crank at side of the table which fold up the used paper.

She explained that 1,100 yards of paper will record the lists, the phones numbers you call once, the pixel size of that box on that website, the street name of that business, and the long division you try to remember.

Kristen Camara's desk is not available for purchase but she released architectural designed blueprints with a creative commons license, so anyone can build their own.

Jason Padgett Becomes Accidental Mathematical Genius After Brutal Mugging

Jason D. Padgett has Acquired Savant Syndrome:-

Jason D. Padgett has Acquired Savant Syndrome from Anchorage Alaska and living in Tacoma Washinton. When he started drawing he had no conventional math training and could draw what he saw as math, and has only since become a student in order to better describe the geometry.Ten years ago, one night he was walking out of a karaoke club in Tacoma when he was vioently attacked by muggers who beat and kicked him in the head repeatedly and his brain was damaged.After that he does not see the world in the simplest way.Everywhere he looks, he sees complicate mathematical formulas and rules like the Pythagorean theorem.He said “I see littles and pieces of the Pythagorean theorem everywhere.” Every single little curve, every single spiral, every tree is part of that equation.”A physicist saw his drawings and helped him get traditional mathematics training skills to be able to describe in equations the complex geometry of his drawings. The beauty of numbers and their relation to the pure geometry of space time and the universe is shown in his fractal diagrams.Jason Padgett’s fractal drawings are extremely good, exciting and encouraging.His drawing of E=MC^2 is based on the structure of space time at the quantum level.

Knife and Fruit in front of the Window 1917

Knife and Fruit in front of the Window 

1917:-

Knife and Fruit in front of the Window was painted by Diego Rivera in 1917.He was born in Guanajuato, Mexico on December 8,1886 and  was a prominent Mexican painter.He died on November 24, 1957.Knife and Fruit by the Window was painted three days after the death of the son of Angelina Beloff and Diego Rivera.It is a life showing image that containing a juice and something that tast good, brightly colored pieces of fruit in the foreground.The effect of the French painter Paul Cézanne, whom Diego Rivera attracted, is clear in the work of art given to each and every element in the composition.The placement of the fruits, carefully arranged, the window of Rivera’s studio on Rue du Départ, looking over the rooftops of Paris, and the upper left section, which catches a glimpse of the tree-lined city street near the studio, in the particular palce of the Gare Montparnasse.Grays and browns colors are greater in amount by means of which Rivera looks to reflect the life of the city, as he catches the distinctive qualities of a vertical Paris, on a cold, gray day, set off against the deep reddish-browns of some of the rooftops and the colored fruit, both these elements get the attention of viewers. The touch of light is made through the wine bottle, with its shining refraction, and the right edge of the table.
