Lifejackets, wall fixtures, Nerf guns, orthopedic shoes: all things that make life just that much better and all things that rely on the magical properties of velcro hook and loop fastening systems.

Japanese Porsche Fan Commissions the World's Most Elegant Garage
Jun 06, 8:35PM
The Porsche 911 is a thing of beauty: Designed in 1959 by "Butzi" Porsche himself, its clean lines and German engineered guts have turned it into a much-obsessed-over classic. To wit: this Osaka townhome designed by Kenji Yanagawa Architects, for a client with an unusual request—that the entire structure be oriented around the garage. The garage, you see, holds his (or her) silver 911.

Here's How the Video Game Comics of the Future Will Probably Look
Jun 06, 8:00PM

Can You Identify These Cities Based on How They Look from Space?
Jun 06, 7:21PM
Humanity's grandest architectural triumph isn't some single building or monument. It's the cities that surround them, the forests of high-rises that house more than half the human population within their limits.

The Dust Bowl Skyscrapers That Were Supposed to Make It Rain
Jun 06, 6:40PM
The Dust Bowl of the 1930s was vicious. Crops were ravaged, dust clouds darkened the sky, and thousands fled the Great Plains to look for work elsewhere. But one meteorologist in France had an idea that very much appealed to the parched farmers and ranchers of yesteryear — enormous weather-manipulation towers that would dwarf the Empire State Building.
