Håkon Anton Fagerås is a #Norwegian #sculptor based in #Italy, and here you can watch him working on a #marble# pillow which creates a lovely juxtaposition in materials. The pillow was part of his 'Down' series, which you can see on his website. pic.twitter.com/qhtzNmwGfG

Woven City

Early next year, Toyota plans to start construction of a ‘prototype city of the future’ at a 175 acre site at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan. Details are a little fuzzy at present but according to the press release:
The city is planned to be fully sustainable, with buildings made mostly of wood to minimize the carbon footprint, using traditional Japanese wood joinery, combined with robotic production methods. The rooftops will be covered in photo-voltaic panels to generate solar power in addition to power generated by hydrogen fuel cells. Toyota plans to weave in the outdoors throughout the city, with native vegetation and hydroponics.

I know you don’t normally do this, but.. My mountain bike was stolen over the weekend from the back of my van. The van was parked in the basement of my apartment building in Inchicore [Dublin 8].
I put her together myself. It’s an orange Cotic Soul frameset with X Fusion sweep forks, Shimano SLX groupset and Fulcrum Red Power wheels.
The frame is kinda rare so if some feckin Jawa is spotted riding it, chances are it’s mine.
I picked the orange frame because it reminded me of my first love – an orange Raleigh Scorpion I got from Santy when I was a kid.
Mmf.
Anyone?
Oh.
