If you’ve been thinking about taking one of Coursera’s many university-created computer science classes, now’s the time. Enterprise software company Atlassian is currently offering scholarships that cover half of all course fees to students who enroll.
Chrome/Opera/Safari/Firefox (Beta): It’s been a while since we highlighted Gmelius
, the add-on that cleans up Gmail’s interface and strips out ads. It’s grown since then, and now has features to send emails later on a schedule, snooze them, bundle in useful reminders, block email trackers, and more.
We, as a group of architects, used to spend our working time here in this studio for over three years. So, we found many problems during the stay, such as, direct sunlight will come through glass windows for all afternoon, it increase temperature inside the building. Moreover, the front door façade has been ruined as it was deteriorating by time.
Our solution for these problems is to create a new façade which has included many functions due to the existing problems.
The name of this project, | | | F A C A D E, was simply defined by the pattern of main structure which has 4 rhythmic of translucent void. The structure itself is made of wood and has been attached to an existing reinforced concrete column and beam. Functional used was added underneath the façade which hanging down and continue to be a set of horizontal wood trellis.
There are 2 main purposes of this façade:
1) Climate and Time Purpose – translucent poly-carbonate can help reduce heat from sunlight during afternoon, while in the morning and at night, opening windows allow natural ventilation while privacy still occurs.
2) Functional Purpose – umbrella hanger, mailbox, outdoor counter bar, and multi-purpose shelf.
Modern life is all about innovating our way out of our inabilities. We’re not meant to fly, or live 20 stories in the air, or speak to a friend in New Zealand. And (buzzkill alert) we’re not meant to be awake when the sun don’t shine. Of all that we can now do, the latter may be the most universal. If we’ve mastered anything, it’s light. For the large part, this is good news; extra hours in the “day” mean we can socialize longer and get more work done.
We posted this sound bar system for $300 last week, which at the time was the best price we’d seen. Turns out though, if you have an Amazon Rewards Visa, you can save an additional $60!
