Map Kibera

by Spone & 1 other
Kibera in Nairobi, Kenya, widely known as Africa's largest slum, remains a blank spot on the map. Without basic knowledge of the geography and resources of Kibera it is impossible to have an informed discussion on how to improve the lives of residents. This November, young Kiberans create the first public digital map of their own community.

Archigram / - Design/Designer Information

by Neewok

ARCHIGRAM dominated the architectural avant garde in the 1960s and early 1970s with its playful, pop-inspired visions of a technocratic future after its formation in 1961 by a group of young London architects – Warren Chalk, Peter Cook, Dennis Crompton, David Greene, Ron Herron and Michael Webb.

“A new generation of architecture must arise with forms and spaces which seems to reject the precepts of ‘Modern’ yet in fact retains those precepts. We have chosen to by pass the decaying Bauhaus image which is an insult to functionalism. You can roll out steel – any length. You can blow up a balloon – any size. You can mould plastic – any shape. Blokes that built the Forth Bridge – they didn’t worry.”

So wrote David Greene in a poem published in the first issue of Archigram magazine or, as Greene’s co-editor, Peter Cook, called it “a message, or abstract communication”. It was published in 1961 on a large sheet of the cheapest available paper. Filled with Greene’s poems and sketches of architectural projects designed by Cook, Michael ‘Spider’ Webb and other friends, the magazine voiced their frustration with the intellectual conservatism of the British architectural establishment.

CAHAYA CMS

by Xavier Lacot & 1 other , 4 comments
CAHAYA CMS is an open source management system built on top of the Zend Framework, which makes building websites extremely easy. Even if interesting, the project is still very young and suffers some conception limitations - the lack for structured content is one of the greatest, in my opinion.

重返17岁里 台词

by maple
When you're young, everything feels like the end of the world. Its not, its just the beginning. I mean you might have to meet a few more jerks. One day, you're gonna meet a boy who treats you the way you deserve to be treated. Like the sun rises and sets with you. 当你还年轻时,风华正茂,全身心投入每一件事情, 以至于每件事情的结束对你来说便像是世界末日一般, 但它事实上并不是,它只不过是一个开始,人生的开始。 我认为你会遇到更多的混蛋,在你以后的道路上。 直到有一天,你会遇上他,命中注定的男孩, 他会对你很好,就像你应该得到的那样, 就像日出日落永远在你的身旁一样。

Wait For Me (3 Minute Documentary) on Vimeo

by gregg
In 1985, a young man from a well-to-do family took a bicycle trip across southern Europe, wandered into Bangladesh, traveled through India, and vanished while hiking in the rugged foothills of the Himalayas. He was never seen or heard from again. "Wait For Me" is the story of a mother’s spiritual and emotional search for her son—a ceaseless emotional trek, propelled by an unconditional love and an unwavering belief that he may still be alive. This is a three minute piece but a much longer version is in production.

Remembering Bogle Chandler - an interactive narrative

by gregg
The half-naked bodies of a brilliant scientist called Dr Gilbert Bogle and his philandering lover Margaret Chandler were found on a Sydney riverbank in 1963. Shrouded in mystery, a series of forensic dead-ends led to wild theories that ranged from LSD ingestion to Cold War assassination – but even now, the cause remains unclear. Australian new media artist Rebecca Young created this brilliant interactive web documentary that presents you, the Internaut, with a choice of trajectories and timelines through which to explore the surprisingly gnarly details of the events leading to their deaths. A sordid suburban murder mystery for your participatory pleasure.

The Prepaid Economy Blog: Some observed behaviour patterns in rural BoP households

by karlcow

people rarely held on to money in the form of cash for any length of time, for the most part due to lack of access to banks and/or the high cost of maintaining an account proportionate to their incomes. Cash was rapidly converted to goods based on priorities and these 'goods' acted as insurance (silver), savings (buying building materials on a piecemeal basis as cashflow allowed until the house could be built), a cushion aka insurance (selling a pig for an emergency or eaten for food) and finally investment (milk bearing cow, young piglets to rear to maturity, etc).
