Moving Skyscrapper to be Built in Dubai

Thursday, June 26th, 2008


Those of you who’ve been reading The Daily Buzzer long enough know that we’re great fans of art and design concepts; No, not the Godly-designed babes, but human-invented stuff - like this moving skyscrapper set to be built in Dubai.

The world’s first moving building, an 80-storey tower with revolving floors giving a shifting shape, will be built in Dubai, its architect says.

The Dynamic Tower design is made up of 80 pre-fabricated apartments which will spin independently of one another.

The 420-metre (1,378-foot) building’s apartments would spin a full 360 degrees, at voice command, around a central column by means of 79 giant power-generating wind turbines located between each floor.

The apartments, which will take between one and three hours to make a complete rotation, will cost from $3.7m to $36m.

Gina Concept - BMW Getting Into Textile Fabric?

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

BMW Gina - Car Concept Made from Textile Fabirc
About two weeks ago I shared my top 5 super-cars with you, and if BMW Gina wasn’t a concept - it would definitely be there.

What’s very special in this car is that instead of the traditional steel and plastic body shell, the GINA concept uses a textile fabric starches over a wire frame, which basically means this car has shape-shifting abilities.

The flexibility of car can be seen when the car door or bonnet opens and it is also much lighter as it is made out of light weight materials. While it may not hit the sales-floor - BMW Gina is perhaps an evidence that companies are looking for lighter alternatives.

Sam Roberts Sims 2 Video Clip - "Them Kids" from "Love at the End of the World" album

My buddy Gert from Flabber found this cool video; Sam Roberts sings “Them Kids” from “Love at the End of the World” album, which is a totally cool song about how today’s hip-hop kids can’t do Rock-n’-Roll, but the video is even more impressive - made in a Sims 2 style.

Top iPhone Skin Designs

Do you have an iPhone or have your eyes set on buying the new iPhone 3G? Well if you do, did you know that you can differentiate yourself from the masses with an iPhone skin? Not only do these vinyl skin covers protect your phone against scratches, they also give a whole new identity to the device.

Space Invaders, Rubix Cubes and Art

Thursday, March 1st, 2007

The artist is Space Invader, his real name, and he is really quite a genius. No doubt his best works appear little more than pixelated images. The amazing thing, however, is that these works are made entirely of Rubik cubes, arranged to complete amazing images. The shear hours of effort put into each image is quite astounding. For maximum effect, take a look at the works from a distance.
