Design of the future city. “The new entrance is in a way a natural result of the long platforms underground. An important aspect of the project is to reinforce Knutpunkten’s connection with the southern part of the city, with the campus and the future H+ area. The new traffic flows, more activity and vibrancy in the area will hopefully contribute to reduced segregation in the town”, says the architect in charge Patrik Ekenhill.

Nervous System Kinematic Petals Dress
The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA) commissioned Nervous System to create a new dress for the exhibition #techstyle, which runs from March 6 through July 10, 2016. The exhibition explores the synergy between fashion and technology and how it is not only changing the way designers design, but also the way people interact with their clothing.
Inspired by petals, feathers, and scales, we developed a new textile language for Kinematics where the interconnected elements are articulated as imbricating shells. Like our previous garments, this dress can be customized to the wearer’s body through a 3D scan, and additionally, each element is now individually customizable: varying in direction, length, and shape.

All-in-one digital table for Ikea
The interactive table, which was developed by students at Lund University and Eindhoven University of Technology together with design consultancy IDEO, can identify an ingredient placed on it via a camera and image-recognition technology. It will then suggest other ingredients to combine with it and can take the user through a full step-by-step recipe via instructions projected directly onto the surface of the table. “It sees what grocery you put onto it and decides through colour, shape and size what grocery it is,” explains Lund University student Ingrid Allenbach in the movie. “It will then suggest what will go well with it and give you recipes to guide you through how to cook them.”

Say hello to Odini
Loyal guardian and companion. Unlike traditional, static security cameras, Odini is a discreet mobile solution which aims to give privacy when you’re home and monitor and record events while you’re away. Better yet, Odini moves about your home autonomously to ensure all areas are secure. To move silently, it’s driven by four independent touch points between the main camera and clear outer ball section. — Like an addition to the family, Odini has been designed with personality in mind! He can let you know how he feels through an array of facial expressions. If his battery is running low, he’ll look tired. When he spots someone he recognizes, he’ll be excited…. someone he doesn’t know, he’ll be wary. If he notices something new, he’ll be curious and investigate until it’s familiar!

Interactive cloud by Catlind Brown & Wayne Garrett
The installation by the Canadian artists Catlind r.c. Brown and Wayne Garrett is called ‘CLOUD’. It is an interactive cloud project that consists of 6,000 new and burnt-out lightbulbs. Made of metal pull string switches and everyday lightbulbs, the large-scale sculpture creates an immersive environment that invites viewers to wander through the rain strings switching lights on and off. CLOUD was first created for art festival Nuit Blanche Calgary (in Canada) in 2012 and has since been shown in The Netherlands, Russia, Singapore, Israel and Portugal.
