Interior & house furniture that inspired by computer stuff

There are a lot of house furniture that takes from nature or inspired by nature, but I think it is cool when house furniture are inspired by computer stuff. Do you think it is cool too, ok let see them:
1. Binary doormat

Binary: It's like a secret language geeks. Thoughts of a geek: "test the intelligence of the guests at your house". While if you have a programmer friends then he/she will laugh to it, others will think that this is a cool minimalist design. Ok, will help to translate this code it is written as "Welcome" without (").



2. Numeric Keypad Chairs

A geek woman can also neat and modern, for example in this chair by Simone Mitchell. Curve shape of this chair looks simple and comfortable. But what really makes it stand out is the design of the keypad with a cast of pink, yellow and blue-green make brighter.
 
3. Table Pointer

This model table is a table with a minimalist modern design. This model was designed by Modnest. This pointer table design can be worn alone or with any others drawn into a series. This table is made of painted wood veneer, this table is available in black, white and orange.
 

--> 4. ASCII curtains

Among the designs are inspired by things related to computers, then I most liked the design of this curtain is the ASCII code. From a distance it looks like curtains smooth silhouette of winter trees. But when viewed up close, you'll see that this is not an ordinary tree design, but of the tree drawings were made with letters and characters from the ASCII character encoding scheme used for text on a computer. Nieke designers inspired by the ASCII computer Sybrandy 1980s.

 5. Wolfgang Keyboard Bench

Required 2000 of the recycling of computer keyboards to create an undulating bench who are unusual by designer Nolan Herbut. This chair looks beautiful and ergonomic to use but probably the coolest things about this bench is the fact that these keys can still be suppressed, making it too tempting to play while you relax.

Unique and beautiful design of residence that created by an architect Robert Harvey Oshatz

Wooohaaa.. So long not updating my blog. Just looking around and I found beautiful house design that created by an architect Robert Harvey Oshatz. Maybe many architect know about him, but I just knew him 2 days ago. Look at his design creation pictures, make me thinking that house not always like a box which have square shapes. Yeah... you can design your dream house with your own imagination, make something impossible become possible. Make something odd and strange become magnificent and unique.
Ok, I dont want talk to much, here is some beautiful residence that design by an architect Robert Harvey Oshatz.
1. Fennell Residence
Is it snail house? Haha...no baby. but Fennell house is creative and unique design as a floating house. Fennell Residence, the imaginative use of curved glue lam beams evoke the poetry of the ripples and contours of a river. The expansive glass facade embraces the river and frames the sunset, and one accesses the deck via an expansive sliding glass door. A master bedroom sits over a study and looks out over the living dining area and out to the river beyond. The curvilinear forms create spacial differentiation that enhance the experience of time as light plays through the daily and seasonal changes.











2.Wilkinson Residence

When I look this house, its very good camouflage, an canopy blend with the surrounding environment. Beautiful curve and with some round corridor. Wilkinson Residence , located on a flag lot, a steep sloping grade provided the opportunity to bring the main level of the house into the tree canopy to evoke the feeling of being in a tree house. A lover of music, the client wanted a house that not only became part of the natural landscape but also addressed the flow of music. This house evades the mechanics of the camera; it is difficult to capture the way the interior space flows seamlessly through to the exterior. One must actually stroll through the house to grasp its complexities and its connection to the exterior. One example is a natural wood ceiling, floating on curved laminated wood beams, passing through a generous glass wall which wraps around the main living room.



Still many unique house and building design that designed by Robert Harvey Oshatz, but I only discuss 2 in here, for other you can visit his site in http://www.oshatz.com. I don't review his website but I love his design.

Coral Reef, Ecological Project 1000 House in Haiti which Inspired by the Coral Reef

Referred to as black pearls West Indies, Haiti is a beautiful island nation which many tourists visit. But in 2010, the country is devastated by an earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale, many homes and existing facilities were destroyed in Haiti, so overall this country must wake up and at reset. This is where the architect Vincent Callebaut came up with a big project which is relatively new and innovative urban planning and architecture with modern reply, that's the beginning of the cultivation of the Coral Reef.













Design Construction Process

This project is an independent village development plan with 3-dimensional concept which can generate its own energy source. Each "building has a very simple construction, because basically this is a project to address the problem of the many post-earthquake refugees who do not have a place to live. The design house consists of only two passive houses (metal structure and a distinguished solid tropical wood) which support each other each other and connecting each housing unit.
As I have us refer for thread title, that the housing project was inspired by coral reefs, here the architects took the concept of coral reef two waves, so this project can accommodate about 1000 families of disaster victims in Haiti. Second foundation "wave" is firmly embedded in the seabed Caribbean. Winding line "which is contained in the ground (anti-seismic) to absorb vibration when an earthquake happens.
Coral Reef As the Ecological Residential
Coral reef as environments will be in the habitable by 1000 this family is designed with facilities which support the greening of the earth, a healthy environment, the concept of ecological shelter here be applied with a variety of ways such as on every roof there are gardens to grow crops so that each family can cultivate their own food , and cultivating their food waste and waste as fertilizer. Aquiculture farms where there are fish pond maintenance, and clean up water purification plants which contain toxins and impurities in use well water used for bathing purposes, or raising so as not to damage the sea when discharged to the sea.

Beautiful buildings with a volcano design concept

Long time ago I want to make a post about this title. It's inspired from Merapi's volcano eruption in November-December 2010, but I was busy doing my project lately and I haven't finish it till now. (~_~)"
As the title "Beautiful building with volcano design concept", yes.. there is many building that inspired from nature and environment, and they are so amazing, wonderful, beautiful and out from ordinary building design that usually have shape like a box. I know there is many blog that also talk about this design concept idea, but I want post again but with little different style. (^_^)". Let's check out this idea:
1. Taichung Convention Center
Like a cluster of pleated, venetian blind-esque volcanoes, this new convention center in Taiwan has “skin” that will naturally ventilate the structure and generate energy from solar power. Beijing-based MAD Architects recently designed the Taichung Convention Center as a commission by the Taiwanese government. The center is intended to become a new local landmark and help redefine the cultural landscape of the city, while also drawing attention to sustainable development and growth.
The folded solar eco-skin of the building serves two purposes – first, the envelopes provide natural air flow to the interior to minimize air conditioning. Second, the pleatings also utilize a “double photovoltaic glass,” which will help reduce energy consumption. One side of the pleat is a transparent material that lets light into the interior, providing plentiful natural daylight, while the other side of the pleat is solid.
Built according to existing site topography, the structure of the center further accentuates what was already there. The moutainous forms resemble craters and are anywhere from 39-85 meters in height. Outdoor courtyards and balconies dot the architectural form to create a more organic landscape. In total, the building area is over 216,000 square meters (+ 2.3 million sq ft) and will have various uses including entertainment, retail, convention space, offices and parking. The inside of the convention center is filled with light and will hopefully be all it claims to be in terms of sustainability.
2. Blue Volcano Concept, Zagreb, Croatia
With a lightweight skin, recycled materials, solar power, and a somewhat crazy-lookin’ volcano-esque shape, this “cloud-covered” stadium in Zagreb has tons of eco-promise. Designed by Croatia-based njiric+ arhitekti, the Za(breg) Stadium is set to be a new landmark for the city center. Nicknamed the “Blue Volcano” by both the public and the press, the new stadium rises up from the city floor in a smooth arc to encapsulate the arena within.
The stadium is constructed of lightweight materials – steel cables, EFTE membranes and a polycarbonate dome, reducing the need for an excess of resources. An artificial hill will hold the arena and is built up from recycled rubber, while the exterior surface is corrugated aluminum painted with blue pigment. The volcano-shaped building is topped with a dome, and a “floating cloud” covers the interior playing field. Lightweight photovoltaic panels are sewn into the zeppelin-like cloud and generate power for the stadium.
Surrounding the stadium are retail areas to make the site a multi-use development and the spacious grounds house more areas for the public to recreate. A skateboarding and climbing area are built into the side of the stadium and additional playing fields sit adjacent to the site. All in all, a good project for Croatia that could help unify the city with a fun and smart eco stadium.
There still many idea of volcano design for building, like as: Italy’s Volcano Buono Shopping Centerbut; Ultra Modern Volcano House, California;Estadio Chivas – Stadium in Guadalajara, Mexico; Earthquake-Proof Solar-Powered Volcano Towers; Crystal Island, Moscow; BEI-Teesside Power Plant, UK; Jameos del Agua, Resort in a Volcanic Crater; Roden Crater, Arizona Art Installation; Museum Jogja Kembali; Museum Gunung Merapi and others. But I'm too tired, and as I see there is too many site that talk about it, then I'm become bored and lazy to talk about it. Sorry, I'm lazy to continue it.

Beautiful buildings Concept that took design from nature

Nature always provides lessons and amazing benefits for humans, but we as humans have not been able to explore all the benefits of these natural. Nature is God's creation that serves to support human life on earth. Nature also created full of mystery that we must dig for the sake of human survival, for example, began with a bird wing design that is able to inspire people to make us able to fly in space.
This time I wanted to share about some of the buildings have a beautiful design and incredible that I found from various sources on the internet, the beautiful buildings that inspired from nature that can be found in our environment. With the genius and the human imagination, then created some spectacular buildings and remind us to nature.
1. Dragonfly Design for Vertical Farm
When I saw this building design drawings for the first time, I guess that this design takes the concept of the butterfly. But after I read it turns out this design takes the concept design of dragonfly wings as green house agricultural fields. However the design did look like a butterfly that is sucking the nectar of flowers. This futuristic skyscraper project Suggests building a prototype of an urban farm, offering a mixed program of housing, offices and laboratories using ecological engineering, and farming spaces, the which are vertically laid out in installments Floors and partly cultivated by its own inhabitants. Designed by Vincent Callebaut.

2. Dystopian, Vertical Farm Design Concept from
Shaped like a nest of insects, dystopian Farming project by Eric Vergne combine agriculture, housing workers, and places to shop, bring together farmers with urban needs. The idea is to reject GM food and projections. Provide irrigation airoponic and nutrition technology in an environment which fully controlled by humans as food sources.


3. Building Design inspired from the beehive
The concept of building a bee house is South Korea project in 2026, although taking the form of a beehive, but the building is planned to have the color green really like nature. He said the material to make this building is not green from synthetic materials rather than vines. It's estimated broad concept of this building approximately 339,400 square meters. However, this design is unfortunately not yet provide a solution to its own energy.

4. Building Water Resort
The concept of building for the resorts that are inspired by water droplets falling from high places. This concept was proposed by Orlando de Urrutia. In this design concept, architects Urrutia had been thinking about the concept of energy as well. A sustainable building projected for the water conscious themes and practices, the HITECH resort is Designed in a specific manner That integrates the renewable energy and generates electricity and water from the water. Solar energy is harnessed by southerly facing façade Covered by the transparent photovoltaic That glass allows light to pass through it thereby, generating electricity. The northern facade features lattices to Provide ventilation along with Teex Micron Atmospheric Water Generators to convert condensation and humid water into pure drinking water.
Designed for humid regions, the Water Building Resort not only purifies salty sea and Rainwater but Also controls the water quality with the help of water treatment facility in the bottom floor. Based on the theme of water, its upper floor harbors restaurants, gyms, exhibition halls, hotels and conference rooms, and spa services.

There are many spectacular ideas to design buildings that are inspired from nature, but now I can only share 4 only. maybe if I remember, I'll continuing again this posting.

Container shipping has a firm structure and a versatile and has traveled the world during their lifetime. The Contertainer is a polyclinic and the public library designed by a company in Indonesia called Dpavilion Architects, which converts container adventurers into the library, which serves as a "window of the world."

The Contertainer located in Batu, East Java, which is a relatively new city with strong roots in agriculture. Growing gap between those who have money in Indonesia and those who do not have, is the urge to project a fun and colorful, which is totally free to the public. In it is a health clinic that provides the needs of the villagers, such as health care and public library to study, conduct community activities, inspiration, and entertainment.

The centerpiece of this building consists of five shipping containers placed on the "stage". Container shipping is something that is easily available and cheap in Indonesia. and Dpavilion Architects decided to use them because of their multifunctional nature and ease of construction.
