"A public restroom toilet is commonly perceived as unsanitary and uncomfortable, but this innovative toilet design by designer Nelson Ayala looks to change the negative perceptions associated with a public restrooms by eliminating the need for intimate physical contact with the toilet. Due to the ergonomic design of the toilet, the user mounts the toilet with knees facing forward avoiding contact between the user’s skin and the toilet. The contact surface between the knee and the toilet is cushioned with foam for extreme comfort. Although the toilet is intended for all users, it may be particularly beneficial for physically challenged users, as they are able to easily glide into the toilet for use. The toilet is made of white enforced ceramic and features a built-in automatic self-cleaning toilet system. It provides a hygienic, comfortable and modern solution for human waste disposal processes."

Good point: somewhere to put a book. Bad point: getting underwear caught as you shuffle on the toilet and then springing back when the elastic force overloads your ability to balance.

"AN architect has painted his entire house, and everything in it, bright blue as part of a barmy experiment. Not even the pot plants have escaped an airbrushing. Arty Peter Kaschnig said he wanted to see the psychological effects of living surrounded by just one colour. But the masterstroke has outraged locals in the quiet neighbourhood of tree lined Klagenfurt, Austria. The house, with its blue shutters complete with blue bedroom and blue bathroom, has become a colourful hotspot for snap-happy tourists. “It looks ridiculous and out of place and all the visitors it attracts are a real nuisance. You can’t park any more and there is no privacy. This used to be a quiet neighbourhood,” moaned neighbour Heidi Manning."

The New Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece, designed by Bernard Tschumi Architects, officially opens in June. The historic masterpieces of the New Acropolis Museum—from the archaeological remains of ancient Athens left visible beneath the building, to the glorious Parthenon frieze installed at the top—will be displayed in total for the first time when the Museum celebrates its much-anticipated official opening on Saturday, June 20, 2009. More than 100 concrete pillars support the building over the remains of an ancient Athenian city, discovered during pre-construction, and glass walls will allow exhibits to be viewed in natural light, as they would have been seen in ancient times. Additional project images and fascinating project back-story are available on the source site.

Compared to the (reffused) Jan Kaplicky purposal that seems to my humble opinion a very poor boxy building like so many around(just bigger)...and doesn't add NOTHING new to the city... Now compare to this and you'll see what I mean http://www.scribd.com/doc... (this is a small list of unbuilt projects by Jan Kaplicky, which also includes a purposal for the New Acropolis Museum-just scroll down and you'll find it...)
