The Butterfly Pavilion is part of a landscape park located on Noor Island in the middle of the capital of Sharjah in the UAE, designed by German studio 3deluxe www.3deluxe.de  . It features a golden roof that flows over a glass cube housing an artificial rainforest ecosystem http://goo.gl/GBV7hp

SOFTlab’s http://softlabnyc.com/  installation casts color on behance’s  Ney York HQ. The office space is on two floors connected by a central staircase. The connecting structure became the ideal site to produce an installation that extends to both floors and can be seen from anywhere in the office. The art piece acts as a kind of three-dimensional stained glass window that casts colored light throughout the space. The studio used colors from behance and adobe’s (behance’s partner company) brand palette to create a transition from red on one side, to blue on the other. The installation is made of a laser cut mylar net that acts as the overall structure. The net is clad in laser cut panels of photo gels of various colors http://goo.gl/31vwwc

The new project of KIENTRUC O http://www.kientruco.com/index.html is conversion of an existing town house into a private kindergarten in Vietnam. Multiple functional needs within a space demand flexible spatial adaptations that allow the room to shift from a single private space to a larger public or event space, or to proportionally expand and contract in size while complying with the house’s existing structural elements. The architects approach this project with an understanding children naturally feel more comfortable in spaces that are relatively related to their size, of which offer a sense of safety and freedom to explore their surroundings  http://goo.gl/CWdrVO

French designer Mathieu Lehanneur has created a tree-like street lamp with accompanying twig-shaped seating for the 2015 Paris Climate Conference.The Clover lighting rests on spindly wooden stems with a cluster of petal-shaped lamps at the top. A bench and pair of stools underneath the street light offer seating to pedestrians, and echo the material and rippled surface of the lamp. Passersby can also charge their phones via a self-service hatch http://goo.gl/qxeGwe

DAQRI Company (Los Angeles, CA) released the world’s first “smart helmet” for everyday use of industrial workers. The helmet is geared toward helping the individual with complex tasks. It bridges the gap between potential and experience by seamlessly connecting the worker to their environment and providing contextually relevant information that connects the individual to their industry. Plus, it lets you see thermo-vision. Thus, this smart construction helmet could help engineers detect malfunctions much faster.
