A New Way To Weather

-

The Weather Cube introduces an entirely new way of “reading” the weather! Rather than glance at your smartphone, open the newspaper or turn on the TV, this artistic object displays the current weather outside by manipulating water to express conditions. For example, still means sunny, dripping is rainy, a wave symbolizes wind and steam stands for foggy. Additionally, the design displays the current hour/minutes and temperature so you’re always prepared and on time!

Designer: Yu Zhuang

OAS1S has a different kind of forest retreat in mind – instead of treehouses, people live in tall structures designed to look like trees that can be in the middle of a jungle without looking out of place.

The concept imagines designing a block in the city as an open space, filled with actual trees, kind of like a miniature park reserve. Then, you erect these tree-like structures within that expanse, essentially creating a community within a forest-like enclave. The lot is designed to be free of roads, so no cars can come through, essentially creating a green place in the middle of a bustling metropolis. You know, a literal urban jungle.

The design of the OAS1S buildings are, literally, based on the form of trees, so they’re a lot more narrow (16.4 x 16.4 feet, …
