In 1961, Leonid Rogozov, 27, was the only surgeon in the Soviet Antarctic Expedition. During the expedition, he felt severe pain in the stomach and had a high fever. Rogozov examined himself and discovered that his appendix was inflamed and could burst at any time. With a local anesthesia, he operated himself to remove the appendix. An engineer and a meteorologist assisted surgery.

Located in the shantytown of Altos de Cazucá south of Bogotá, the “Cubierta Cazucá” is a 700-square-meter canopy suspended over a sports court-cum-public square. As Frameweb describes, the project is a field of compacted dodecahedrons made of green steel mesh and translucent tiles and supported on either side by a series of swaying steel poles. Lights embedded in the mesh illuminate the court at night.

At one end, the canopy is situated adjacent to a school, while on the other, it straddles a sloping hill that overlooks the neighborhood. The floating geometric bed rises above its context without coming off as pretentious nor, amazingly, superfluous. On the contrary, Mazzanti’s canopy seems almost necessary, a “beacon of hope” for the hard pressed community.

The Edible Cell

Guys, remember the edible cell?  Truly the most delicious of all elementary school science projects.  Looking at these is making me so nostalgic, I want to plan an edible cell party where everyone has to bring one.

(Full disclosure: one of these is a professional job.  Don’t feel bad if yours looked more like this.)
