Urban bicyclist around the world are more than likely salivating over the Deer Antler Bicycle Handlebars by Brooklyn-based designer Taylor Simpson. This concept bicycle accessory is "handcrafted by genuine deer antlers and recycled metal".
I originally came up with the concept of Moniker Cycle Horns while participating in the World's Longest Yard Sale on Route 127 in 2010, an event I look forward to every year. While traveling the sale, I found a pair of genuine deer antlers a local man was selling somewhere in Kentucky. As a cyclist I thought it would be clever to create bicycle handlebars made of animal horns and antlers.Meanwhile, these would be a talking point for anyone that added these to there bike. Taylor did a great job in executing a stellar design concept that many of you out there now want. Check out more of his work on Taylor's site.

Hiroshi Nakamura and NAP Japanese agency signed the proposed individual home in Hiroshima. In the heart of the city, built right between high buildings, Optical Glass House would open on a street side garden protected from the everyday bustle on the street by a screen made of 6000 blocks of optical glass.
Hiroshi Nakamura & NAP give a little detail about the house:
Optical Glass Front:
A panel of some 6.000 pure-glass blocks (50mm x 235mm x 50mm) was employed. The pure-glass blocks, With Their wide mass-per-unit area, Effectively shut out sound and enable the establishment of an open, Clearly articulated That allowed on the garden city scenery. To Realize Such a facade, glass casting was employed to Produce glass of extremely high transparency from borosilicate raw material for the optical glass. The casting process was exceedingly difficulty, for it required slow cooling to remove Both residual stress from within the glass, and high dimensional accuracy. Even then, however, the glass micro-level Retained Surface asperities, we aim Actively Welcomed this effect, for it Would Produce unexpected optical illusions in the interior space.Waterfall:
So wide was the 8.6mx 8.6m façade Could not stand it if indépendamment Constructed by laying rows of glass blocks a mere 50mm deep. We therefore punctured the glass blocks with holes and strung 'em on 75 stainless steel bolts suspended from the beam above the façade. Such a structure vulnerable to lateral Would Be stress, however, so along with the glass blocks, we aussi strung on stainless steel flat bars (40mm x 4mm) at 10 centimeter intervals. The flat bar is seated Within The 50mm-thick glass block to render it invisible, and Malthus has uniform sealing gasket entre le 6mm glass blocks was Achieved. The result? -a transparent facade When seen from the garden Either or the street. The façade Appears like a waterfall flowing downward, scattering light and filling the air with freshness.You can find out more about this house on Hiroshi Nakamura & NAP website.
