In Porto, Portugal, the city where port wine earned its name, Vodafone has built an architectural wonder as its corporate headquarters. A brilliant example of architecture in motion, the Vodafone Building exhibits a kind of movement that is an ideal representation of the brand’s slogan of “Life in Motion“. Designed by Barbosa Guimarães Arquitectos, this skeletal structure seems to tumble upon itself, a sculptural monument to a keen architectural vision and a playful sense of wonder for a progressive brand like Vodafone....

When you decide to get a plant, you want to aim for those that provide all these attributes, and maybe include some that offer produce, such as spices or small tomato plants. Simply snapping up the first snapdragon to catch your eye isn’t going to do the job, you want to aim for plants that are healthful and will make a welcome addition to your home. That means it’s unlikely to poison your environment and looks good while keeping your oxygen molecules well scrubbed....
Fit It To You There’s probably nothing as important to making your pocket square work than picking something you like. This is meant to dress you up, not fulfill imaginary rules of etiquette. When you like your square, or your clothes in general, you wear them more confidently than if you don’t. Pocket Squares Are Glue Here’s the easiest way to consider a pocket square’s effect on an outfit: They tie everything together....
The advantage to using a keychain tool over a more traditional multi-tool is not only the minimal space it takes up, but the weight is markedly less, which helps keeps your pockets lighter and reduces the strain on your belt. Despite their diminutive size, keychain tools rarely sacrifice much in the way of function for most EDC tasks.

Well, they don’t all have to be that way, thank the sweet word wizards. Some biographies manage to tell an interesting tale that doesn’t feel like you’re listening to a dry recitation of “What I Did Last Summer” without any hook murders or Jennifer Love Hewitt in a white tee-shirt in the rain. Some are funny, scintillating, horrifying, unbelievable, and inspiring. They might not be stranger than fiction, because anyone who’s read “A Scanner Darkly” knows that nothing actually is, but at least the 17 best of the best biographies are well worth your time....
To celebrate this meal of meals, this kingly concoction of foodstuffs, we took a long, difficult look around the planet to find the best ways to break your fast and start the day off with a gustatory bang. What we discovered was 21 of the best breakfast foods to be found anywhere. Ackee and Saltfish Popular in Jamaica, and evidence that hashish culture has certain inundated the cuisine, salted cod is mixed with the Ackee fruit in a slurry that looks much like scrambled eggs....
As you all well know, whenever some new technology surfaces that allows people to create, there’s invariably going to be a group that uses it for…less than orthodox purposes. 3D printing is no exception. Even though the technology is still in its infancy, people have already used 3D printers to create some weird stuff, from mugshots printed using DNA to sculptures of unborn fetuses. Today, we’re going to look at some of the strange 3D printed objects from around the connected world....
What makes the Bandit9 Bishop so special? First, the design. It sports a high grade steel unibody with wood veneer panels and a tightly-knit leather seat. This blend of steel, wood and leather presents a character that is sleek, classy, minimal and natural all at once. As I mentioned in the opening, it’s as much a work of sculpture as it is a motorcycle. It looks like it belongs as a release at Milan Design Week, a refined piece of functional art that inspires both wonder and lust in the onlooker....
Bar Raval Toronto is one of the finest wooden interiors we’ve seen in years. It’s the result of CNC’d mahogany, a computer-driven router that carves fine wood to shape much like a 3D printer on a grand scale. Mahogany pieces are shaped into undulating forms that fit together on the bar, the walls and hanging ceiling design elements. These pieces are inspired by the shape of cured Spanish meats, plus the tattoo’d muscles of Bar Raval’s clientele....
Throughout history people have been captivated by acts of violence, and criminal intent. From asking why people commit these crimes, to wondering how they can pull them off in the first place. For anyone who enjoys a deeper look at the psyche, and methodology of criminals, true crime documentaries can help further your personal research. And in some cases, they even help close cases. With true crime documentaries, viewers are able to get more information, interviews, and theories they wouldn’t receive through the news media....
The film BladeRunner is amongst the science fiction genre’s most iconic films. While the stark futuristic landscape, the robotic technologies and the eerie sense of postmoderism make the film, the umbrellas of this movie made a statement themselves. The shafts in the umbrellas in the film BladeRunner were filled with light, providing protection from the constant rains and a strong sense of style at the same time. Fortunately, you can own one of your own today....
In recent years, BMW has taken to revealing its next generation vehicles in a series of BMW Vision concepts. Back in 2009, we saw the BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics concept, a gasoline/electric hybrid car with a wild and progressive exterior design. Unlike most concept cars, however, this idea came very close to its eventual production car successor. Five years after the Vision Efficient Dynamics concept was revealed, the BMW i8 Roadster is ready to ship....
One of the 20th century’s greatest architects celebrates his 102nd birthday today. Oscar Niemeyer is arguably Brazil’s most significant architect of the modern era, having worked at the epicenter of the South American nation’s architectural renaissance. His works include the Cathedral of Brasilia, the National Congress of Brazil, the Niterói Contemporary Art Museum and the Palácio da Alvorada, the residence of Brazil’s president. To put that in context, imagine if one architect was responsible for the White House, the United States Congress and many of our other government buildings… We salute Mr....
