Turn it up nice and loud in the office.
Sea Orbiter is a 200 foot (60m) tall aquatic exploration platform designed by French architect Jacques Rougerie on which construction begins this Spring. Capable of accommodating a team of up to 22 researchers, who will live and work underwater 24 hours a day, half the eight-story structure (which will cost €35 million to construct) is submerged with a variety of labs and living quarters for crew.
The underside features dive pits, pressurized living quarters and underwater garages. Regular divers will descend to 50 meters below the surface, while “saturation divers” living in pressurised chambers will be able to reach 100 meters. Below this depth, Sea Orbiter will deploy exploration vehicles down to 1,000 meters and an advanced diving drone that can descend to 6,000 meters.
Stop motion animator Kirsten Lapore (she of the excellent Bottle) sez:
A girl journeys through a vibrant, pulsing, macrocosmic landscape, but a precipitous incident compels her to venture up a mountain in an attempt to save herself. A story about illness, perseverance, and our connection to everything around us.
Dawn – one of Nuneaton and Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary’s six resident foxes – cannot be returned to the wild. Having been abandoned as a cub, she spent her early life at a dog sanctuary before being transferred to her current home and would would be unable to fend for herself.
In all likelihood she will spend the rest of her life wagging her adorable tail, making mind-curdlingly cute noises and being loved to bits by teh hoomins.
A hard ‘oul station, to be sure.

When it’s a four panel kinetic sculpture.
The Evolution Door by Austrian designer Klemens Torggler opens and closes at the slightest touch, folding aside like origami, without crushing your fingers in the process (unless perhaps you’re using the steel one).
For now, the Drehplattentür (flip panel door) remains a prototype.
