I absolutely love this project!
The need for pay phones continues to diminish. New York-based architect John Locke had an idea that would help make your standard pay phone booth a bit more practical and multi functional.
As part of the Locke’s ‘Department of Urban Betterment’ interventionist project, the architect has transformed New York City pay phones into mini libraries for public use. Locke attached a vibrant orange shelf to the pay phone, and the mini library was formed. The shelving unit is constructed of plywood milled by Kontraptionist. Named the ‘Dub 002′ this mini library is being stocked with books donated by local New York residents.
Simon Pearce and Mary Elise Chavez created this Burning Man LEGO Set, a fake LEGO product that is an “instant theme camp in a box” featuring a mini version of the Spacecats’ Hammock Hangout camp.
“We were sad when we got no tickets this year, so we decided to create a mini-burn out of legos! Then it got out of hand”, the creators say.
Thanks to Aleksander for this find.
These very graphic and decorative vases are created by Phil Cuttance.

OMG! I want to work at Google, when I see this. Such playful headquarters!
It’s no surprise that studies indicate worker’s productivity is in direct correlation to how comfortable they feel while in a working environment. Tech companies have known this for quite some time. That’s why they’ve created some of the most enthralling work spaces on the planet.
Internet search giant Google features several different incredible headquarters around the world. These photos are from the Google office in Zurich, Switzerland – where a friend of mine is actually working, that lucky bastard 
The office span 12,000 square meters, and was designed by the creative team at Camenzind Evolution.
I’ve always dreamed about working in a place with an indoor slide! Oh, and a basketball court.
Forever wild, a rhino protection initiative, had no money on their budget. So they had to be creative.
They created a campaign called “YouTube Interventions. The insight was that people say they have no time for serious stuff, yet they spend hours on silly online distractions. So over 60 trending YouTube clips were downloaded and uploaded again with an additional message.
OK Go has collaborated with Sesame Street on Three Primary Colors, a fun stop-motion music video that shows kids the basics of color-mixing. The video was conceived and directed by Al Jarnow. “a pioneer stop-motion animator, who made numerous classic educational and experimental short films in the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s for Sesame Street, Electric Company, 3-2-1 Contact, and other shows.”
Three human shaped RC planes were flown around New York City to create the illusion of people flying. Very cool! It’s a stunt created for The Chronicle.
The music track is Unstoppable 2 by Tom Quick.
Thanks to @aleqz for this find!
I love when students does something extraordinary! Toronto high school students Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad tethered a LEGO figurine to a weather balloon and sent it 80,000 feet above the Earth with their homebuilt camera.
