    Con la misión de llevar a Miami Beach de vuelta al Centro de Convenciones, la propuesta recién estrenada de BIG pretende transformar el vacío en el centro de la ciudad en un archipiélago de oasis urbanos formado por caminos, plazas, parques y jardines, donde todos conduzcan al corazón del plan: el Miami Beach Square. Esta pieza central se convertirá en la puerta de entrada al centro de convenciones y el hotel, así como el jardín del frente a un revitalizado Jackie Gleason...

    Magic est une lampe développée par l’Agence 360 pour KOS lighting. Composée d’une platine carrée intégrant des LEDs, et perchée sur un fin pied métallique rappelant son socle, elle peut être orientée dans de multiples positions.

    « Notre travail pour Kos Lighting est entièrement dédié à la qualité de l’éclairage, des mouvements de la lampe et sa durabilité. Nous concevons le système d’articulation optimal pour permettre d’orienter la lumière sans frictions avec un minimum d’effets [...] La discrétion du design exprime ce que sont ces produits : des outils d’éclairage. »

    Conducted by a group of Canadian design students, archiDUTCH is a 19-minute documentary about how the Dutch build and design the cities we live in, including a collection of interviews of Dutch architects and designers. The footage was shot and edited by first-time student filmmakers from Simon Fraser University’s Interactive Art and Technology program.

    The social structure of Spanish families has changed in a few years. Pau and Rocío are a young couple that having just turned 30 decide to built their own home.

    It  may seem surprising given the difficult economic situation we are going through in Spain, but this new profile of entrepreneurs is quite different from the mortgage-based model that made the housing bubble burst .
