In Situ by Julien Carretero
Posted in: Uncategorized
French designer Julien Carretero has used timber excavated from Eindhoven’s medieval city walls to make a series of objects that could be used in an insurgency, including a catapult and a ladder.
Called In Situ, the series also includes a pulley and matchsticks.

More information is provided by the designer:
In situ
In situ is a series of objects made of recently excavated wood from Eindhoven’s Medieval city wall.
After more than 600 years underground, the oak wood that was once used to protect the city is brought back to the public space in the form of instruments for revolution.
Their intervention aims to question and challenge the routine taking place in cityscapes. Through the creation of situations of wonder, In situ wants to break public passivity and encourage passers-by to actively participate to the spectacle of daily life.
The In situ props, which all share the symbolic value of both escape and uprising, interact with wanderers on various levels: may these be physical, visual, narrative or emotional.
In situ wants to unleash feelings and people. In situ is a trigger.
The In situ project is part of the ‘Matter of Time’ exhibition organized by design collective Dutch Invertuals, under the curation of Wendy Plomp. The ‘Matter of Time’ exhibition is currently on display at Gallery S. Bensimon (Paris).
This exhibition was made possible thanks to the support of the Archeological Centre of Eindhoven and the City of Eindhoven.

Mini Pops
Posted in: glutenfree, madeintheusa, snack The tastiest and healthiest snack food you’re not eating yet
A staple in grain production worldwide, sorghum is slowly making its way from the side stage to the spotlight. It’s easy to grow anywhere on the globe, inexpensive, gluten-free and, with a mild taste that partners perfectly with seasoning, you’re going to start seeing a lot more sorghum-based snack foods in the future. One of the first we have seen, which happen to be extremely satisfying, is popped sorghum, made by newcomers to the snack food industry, Mini Pops.
The snack is made from organic, pesticide- and genetically modified-free sorghum grown in the USA. It also has fewer calories, less saturated fat, less sodium and more protein, calcium and fiber than popped corn does, not too mention being high in iron, antioxidants and heart-friendly policosanols so you can enjoy a light airy snack with your favorite rom-com without any guilt. Nature has also blessed sorghum grains with softer hulls than corn, preventing those awkward moments of sticking your fingers in your mouth trying to pry uncomfortable wedges from between your teeth.
Mini Pops comes in plain and seven other flavors (we loved the Nano Pepper & Herb and the Baby White Cheddar), as well as in bags of raw kernels that you can pop and flavor yourself. Try some with a dash of Lucini’s Organic Limited Reserve White Truffle Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Nudo’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Sicilian Chilies for a quick, healthy and low calorie snack.
Mini Pops are available online at the Mini Pops shop or look for a retailer near you. A 16-ounce bag of raw kernels sells for $13 and the six-ounce flavored bags sells for $3.50.

Growing Cities: Documentary on Urban Agriculture
Posted in: Uncategorized
Filmmakers Dan Susman and Andrew Monbouquette set out this summer to learn about urban agriculture and how it is affecting the urban-rural divide in America. Urban agriculture is just what it sounds like: utilizing urban space in order to cultivate food. The movement has met with sporadic success, but has been picking up steam in the last few years. There are even some extremes, such as the urban forager, who uses existing urban plant life as sources for food.
Here’s the trailer for the in-progress film (the duo is currently making their way out of Atlanta):

ACADIA 2011 Digital Design Winners
Posted in: Uncategorized
ACADIA (Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture) announced the winners of this year’s Design and Fabrication competition. Hosted in conjunction with Brooklyn-based fabricators FLATCUT_, the challenge seeked out innovative geometric forms that push the limits of design through the exploration of integrative material strategies for digitally fabricated assemblies. Awarded across three categories, Furniture, Lighting and Partitions, this year’s winning projects displayed an interesting array of innovation including unique joinery solutions, expandable design options and the use of complimentary materials.
FURNITURE
RECIP is a modular furniture system comprised of mutually reinforcing sets of interlocking rubber panels laminated to heavyweight felt batting. The project draws on the inherent material properties of both rubber and felt to produce a structural system that is capable of both moments of rigidity and moments of flexibility in the same assembly. Thanks to its inherent adaptability, RECIP can be reconfigured to function as a chair, a table, a bookcase, a spatial divider, and any number of other applications.
The project relies on digitally enabled means of fabrication in order to minimize waste and maximize structural integrity. Machining patterns of v-grooves and cuts in the rubber produces a surface that easily folds into the peaks and valleys of the teeth that comprise the locking mechanism for the assembly. At the end of the lifecycle the project can be fully recycled. Designed by Alison MacLachlan, Bryan Gartner and Richard Cotter, all students of the University of Calgary’s Faculty of Environmental Design.

Ice Cream Alternatives
Posted in: snackFive healthier frozen treats
When the weather heats up and clothes come off, ice cream seems like the ideal way to cool down—but that makes staying “bikini ready” a challenge. For a refreshing treat that doesn’t break the caloric bank, we’ve picked out five frozen treats that are sure to hit the spot.
Kaurina’s Kulfi
Popular in India, kulfi is a healthier version of ice cream, forgoing eggs and preservatives in favor of simply milk, sugar and natural flavors. They also skip out on the surprising additive of air, making Kaurina’s Kulfi richer and creamier than typical dairy desserts, while prolonging its frozen goodness. The bars are available online, and come in nine flavors, including pistachio almond, strawberry and coconut.
Jala Fudge Ice Cream Bar
Chocolate lovers will delight in Jala’s fudge bars, perfect for your midday pick-me-up. Jala bars are not just sweet chocolatey treats—these calcium-rich 110 calorie bars contain probiotics that help boost the immune system while promoting healthy digestion. You can buy these delicious treats at various grocery stores.
Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt
Frozen yogurt is a staple treat of the summer for a reason; it’s got the health edge over ice cream without sacrificing taste. Like Yasso’s slogan says, “All of the goodness, none of the guilt!” Now you can keep the delicious cold snack in your freezer with their first ever frozen Greek yogurt bars, which come come in raspberry, blueberry, and strawberry, as well as being fat-free, gluten-free, kosher and only 70 calories. You can pick some up at your choice of markets.
Rice Dream Bites
Rice Dream Bites are made to satisfy chocolate cravings. A sweet chocolate shell surrounds tiny bits of vanilla rice-based cream, providing a delicious meld of flavors. Even those of us who are lactose-intolerant can enjoy the creamy bite size treats, and they’re also gluten and cholesterol free, with no trans fat or refined sugars. The bites are available at various retailers.
Gaga Sorbet Bars
Everyone knows sherbet is delicious, and these creamy sorbet bars are no exception. All-natural, low fat and calories, and wheat and gluten-free, they’ll satisfy your sweet tooth and leave the health nut in you smiling. A unique mix of ice cream and sherbet shows off the smooth tastes of these zesty snacks, which are available in raspberry, key lime, lemon, coconut, orange, and chocolate online.
