In the early 1990’s skateboarding had found a special place in Philadelphia, Love Park. Kids young and old traveled from around the world to skate its pristine ledges and infamous fountain gap. And while the struggling skateboard community embraced the park, the city felt otherwise. To “clean up” downtown…

Philadelphia’s custom motorcycle outfitter’s new stripped-down city slayer
Built from a beefy 2007-08 Triumph Bonneville body, Hammarhead Industries‘ new Ninety-Two model falls firmly in line with the bad ass, bare-essentials aesthetic HHI has effortlessly grown to own. Originally designed and built as a one-off for the founder of Swedish workwear brand Dunderdon as part of their recent collaboration collection, the Ninety-Two turned out so well James Hammarhead and the crew decided to introduce it as a new model.
Designed to battle the streets—and come out on top, unscathed—the Mad Max-esque motorcycle is outfitted with Marine-grade materials for the fenders, seat and matte-finish paint. And as the unofficial HHI saying goes, “you can have any color you’d like, as long as it’s black.” The Ninety-Two is murdered out accordingly, and better off for it.
Stripped of all non-essential elements, the Ninety-Two gets the special treatment from HHI intakes, Keihin FCR carbs and a wide-open Zard exhaust to boost performance and make sure it’s ready to hit hell from the second the gun sounds. On top of the internals, the performance-driven, 865cc Twin Triumph features aggressive suspension, wheels and tires that stand up to cobblestone streets or cross-country trips.
As the newest model to be introduced, the streamlined Ninety-Two is now available from Hammarhead Industries exclusively for $16,500 with a lead build time of 90 days. Visit HHI online for a closer look at the Ninety-Two and other equally impressive offerings from the Philadelphia-based builders.

A progressive design conference looks at modern architecture for an aging population
If design is about problem solving, the stereotypical nursing home—sterile, isolated, generally depressing—is perhaps one of the institutions most in need of an overhaul.
In an effort to change traditional retirement living, Architizer co-founder Matthias Hollwich came up with New Aging—a conference consisting of hands-on workshops and discussions about progressive development for age-related living spaces.
Also a partner at NYC-based architecture firm HWKN, Hollowich hopes that together with other architects, designers and visionaries they can create projects that will bring a sense of playfulness and community for the elderly through functional design.
Speakers at the conference include Manuel Ocana of the Santa Rita Geriatric Center on the island of Menorca, Spain; Arnoud Gelauff of the De Plussenburgh Apartments in Rotterdam, Netherlands; Erhard Kinzelbach of the Hainburg Nursing Home in Hainburg, Austria; Daniel Cinelli of the Newbridge on the Charles in Dedham, MA; HWKN of Aging in Africa in Cote D’Ivoire; Madeline Gins of design firm Architecture Against Death; and several other prominent figures like Jeurgen Mayer H, Diller Scofidio + Renfro and Joel Sanders.
New Aging will be held at the UPenn School of Design where Hollwich previously taught advanced design studios focused on re-thinking the nursing home. The two-day conference takes place on 1-2 October 2010 and is open for registration to the general public and students for $285 and $35 respectively. For more information, visit the New Aging site.
