The Weave Project: a London Fashion Week collaboration between British fashion designer Anya Hindmarch and design collective Numen/For Use.

The temporary pop-up, which appeared this month at Brewer Street Car Park in Soho, uses more than 3,000 meters of rope to create meandering suspended tunnels evoking memories of childhood adventure playgrounds and inviting visitors to explore.

New York City’s newest toy, a 110-ton, 300-foot-long Caterpillar boring machine named “Pat,” will soon spearhead a $250 million water tunnel project. Digging a 12-foot diameter tunnel almost two miles long, Pat will create the replacement for two other, shallower tunnels currently in the way of expanding the port city’s shipping capacity.

Caterpillar eh? Wonder how that would do in a drag race with a Herrenknecht?
