Saturday Safari: Wes Sumner.
For this Saturday Safari I’ve chosen the photographer Wes Sumner. What follows is some of the best travel photography I’ve ever seen:

Double exposure debuts, May 2013.
(This photos was chosen as “Sélection de la semaine”/ “a chance to feature” for the French Nikon weekly Contest on facebook. The theme was “contrast” :o)

Sonic Morphologies
The project is conveyed in the design of compact accommodation towers that inhabit urban soundscape of Kwun Tong in Hong Kong and facilitates controlled sonic environments through creation of site-specific, parametric geometry of reflective surfaces and levels of sonic permeability by means of natural acoustics.
The design involves implication of acoustic zoning directly related to frequency mapping of HK urban soundscape on both macro- (audiourbanism) and microscale (audiobrick).
Words I think are awesome: “audiourbanism”
Absolutely hilarious. Logistically feasible… but unlikely.
Want More Urban Green Space? Start Peeing In Public | Earth Techling
A public toilet that will recycle urine into fertilizer for flora growing in the built-in planter.
By setting up the restroom in pod format with 4 urinals on every pod, the users can enjoy more space and privacy. This system as well paves way for both peeing and watering the plants.

Nobody breathe! I think if I just look at this photo too much it’ll start to fall apart… This man has the patience of a god.
