New York City Hotel Tiles Floor With Pennies~

The Standard Grill in The Standard Hotel New York has a distinct flooring system, as it is covered in coins. The floor is literally tiled in thousands of copper pennies, adding a unique vibe to the place.I don’t know if having a floor covered in coins is very hygienic for a restaurant, but it certainly looks cool! I wonder how much it cost?~

Japan Plans Another Giant Robot Statue~

Widely acknowledged as the first giant robot ever to be featured in manga, Tetsujin 28-go (”Iron Man 28″) is finally going to live up to its Westernized name, Gigantor~

A 59-ft (18-m) statue of the grandfather of giant robots will be installed in Kobe’s Wakamatsu (”A giant robot statue will be placed here after the giant Gundam statue is finished”) Park. I don’t really know why it’ll be built there but I think it’s because the creator of Tetsujin 28-go, Mitsuteru Yokoyama, was born in Kobe~

If all goes as planned the statue will be finished in September and formally unveiled in October. Also, the statue will be permanently installed, unlike the Gundam statue which will be dismantled in August, a decision that is in my opinion the biggest mistake that Japan will ever make in the history of the universe. Why would you remove something so awesome?! Seriously~

Unfortunately, unlike the edgier Gundam statue in Tokyo, Kobe’s giant robot will have no moving parts. Probably because he’s so old he can barely stand up. heheh. But it does have a more awesome and battle-ready pose. If we push it and the Gundam statue towards each other Tetsujin 28-go win because he’s already in a punching stance~

Created by Djeff. With the body is moving, the fans wall will light up and blow air(Watch the video), really Cool!
"What Breeze Reflection and what the next door installation does our relationship to the environment?
Djeff: Reflection Breeze is a sensitive and poetic on the concept of human presence and a sense of innocence in all our actions, to be aware that any gesture and presence causes a change in the environment and its original state.
What are you interested in using the technology?
Djeff: The fact that the technology is heavily ingrained in our society allows me to consider it as an artistic material. This gives me a field of intervention varied.
What would your own big question about the environmental changes now?
Djeff: Take on our environmental and civic responsibility in our technology choices? "~
