Atelier Bertiga designed this house to grow with it’s occupants. It was built to be developed further as more rooms are needed. This is accomplished with a Steel frame that allows new elements to be bolted in place when needed.
Space Concrete
Nasa’s ‘Microgravity Investigation of Cement Solidification (MICS) Project’ is exploring the results of mixing concrete in space. Concrete could be a very useful tool in building habitats and structures to protect against meteorites and cosmic radiation. But until now, we have not had useful data on the strength of the material when mixed in micro-gravity.
Emerging Technology Hype
An interesting peak at the hype cycle for emerging technologies. Gartner has published this yearly look at how we observe, obsess over, and develop new tech.
Growing a Crystal One Atomic Layer at a Time
For the first time, researches have captured the atomic-level layer by layer growth on the ordered structure of a nanocrystal. This will help material scientists understand the forming of various crystalline structures used in manufacturing of many products.

Whether you made it to New Orleans this year or not, check out the highlight reel from this years IDC! NOLA was a beautiful and vibrant backdrop for this yearly event, bringing industrial designers together from around the world, to learn, share, and connect.
Canon 120MP Video
Canon has been long working on a video camera that records at 60x full HD video. The sensor is slightly bigger than the APS-C, found in most DSLRs, but smaller than full-frame. This means fitting it in a consumer product, is a matter of when, not if. However processing these images in-camera will be no small feat, […]
Evolve to Advance 3D Printing
With little post-processing required, Evolve part finish will rival injection molding at lower costs than current additive processes. This will be ideal for runs of 5,00 to 20,000. Unlike most current processes, the materials available will be standard injection materials, not requiring compromise to meet process. Evolve are nearing commercial production.
$10k 3D Printed Tiny House
This 3D Printed House is built in a day for under $10,000. While other 3D printed houses have been built previously, this is the first to be officially permitted to go up in the US. This opens doors to expansion and cost reduction.
