Dortmund, one of 12 host cities for the 2006 World Cup, is hurriedly building wooden sex huts with the aim of encouraging discretion among prostitutes and their clients. According to Reuters, “experts estimate as many as 40,000 prostitutes may travel to Germany to offer their services to fans during the tournament.” To make them comfortable, “Dortmund plans to arrange the Dutch-designed huts … in an area with condom machines and snack bar.” Like a highway rest stop, but cooler. “We don’t want a situation where prostitutes and their clients disturb residential areas,” says an official.

I found this link via Boing Boing, Bruce Sterling made his students write on a whiteboard stuff they should never say to a teacher during design critiques. Now other then the fact the stuff they wrote was hillarious, I was very surprised that Bruce Sterling actually blogs. [Link]

Just read this article in Arab Times where they are talking about building a rail system in Kuwait in preparation for the major traffic congestion we will be facing in the upcoming future. Now the cool thing in the article is they are proposing the futuristic Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) to connect major buildings. It was the first time I had heard about it so I did a bit of research and this thing is like super cool. Its like mini trains that hold around 4 people for example, and if you are say at the main NBK branch in Kuwait City and you want to go to Souk Sharq for lunch, instead of taking the car you just hop into one of these tiny air conditioned capsules and tell it to go to Souk Sharq and it will take you. This system just requires major buildings to be connected via tracks and you no longer need to your car to travel from your building to another down the street. Here is a link with more information on PRT. [Link]
This site makes me really jealous. They have a contest where they try to find the “smallest, coolest apartments”. Some of the stuff is really good and it depresses me to see them do so much with such little space while I can’t figure out what to do with my huge place. I am terrible when it comes to interior design, I should probably just steal some ideas from them and get it over with… [Link]

This cool link will take you to an editorial which gives you some tips when dealing with an artist. For example never ask the artist “Is this finished?” Just assume a work is finished—unless told otherwise. [Link]
