2009 Honda Ev N Concept
Designer: Honda
Location: n/a
It's a retro-styled battery-powered car with a face of a pug puppy crossed with a Trabant and nifty concept-y features like swappable seat fabrics, a solar roof, and a "communications system" embedded in the black front fascia. Most importantly, however, the EV-N's passenger door contains one of those bizarrely kickass UX-3 super gyroscopic robot unicycles, which pretty much makes the EV-N the coolest electric car of all time.

house in innoshima
Designer: kazuniro fujimoto
Location: innoshima, japan
innoshima no longer exists. another coastal town lost in the rush of japan\'s urbanization; the younger generations disappear into tokyo and its surrounding satellites in search of newness and change. they leave behind monuments to the past. kazuniro fujimoto documented several of these haunting subjects in the city of onomichi. these remnants of tradition most likely influenced his design of house in innoshima, a carcass beached along the port.

The sorte house
Designer: The A.L.X. office (Architect Label Xain)
Location: Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan
Image Credits: Koichi Torimura
The scale of the architecture can only be fully understood if looking at it from the East side. This is because the remaining view points are limited and tight and you can appreciate the language but not the depth of the residence. Due to this the windows that are treated like irregular punched openings are designed in order for the ones looking from the inside out not to feel exposed and for the views outwards to be perceived as dynamic and restricted to a portrait. The light entering within the interior emphasizes the asymmetrically and 3 dimensiality by duplicating the angular shaped openings on the floor or the facing walls. This also carries the primary exterior language inside in the simple method of natural day light. No marriage of materials and finishes just dynamic simplicity expressing a strong statement.
