The Friendship Bridge

Friendship_Bridge1
The Qatar-Bahrain Friendship Causeway, a 40km long marine causeway featuring a 22km bridge and 18km embankments connecting the west coast of Qatar to the east coast of Bahrain, is scheduled to begin construction in 2010. The $3 billion project was originally scheduled to begin last year in May 2008, however in a statement from Bahrain's Works Minister Fahmi al-Jowder the new deadline was announced. "Work on the project will start in 2010 and it is expected to take four-and-a-half years to complete." When completed, the causeway will be the longest in the world and will also boast a 13 metre wide railroad bridge. Travel time from Qatar to Bahrain by car is expected to be reduced from four-and-a-half hours to around 30 minutes. Via menainfra.com

Solar Powered Tree

SolarTree2
Imagine an outsize parasol planted in an African village. By day, it offers shelter from the sun: by night, it sheds light for the local community using the energy collected in solar cells embedded in its canopy. It's clever, it explores a new role for textiles, and it shows concern for the planet. In short: an eco-friendly solution to a pernicious modern problem. Via loop.ph

The Art Of Max Payne 3

MaxP_3

The gameplay has obviously developed and Max Payne has matured into this steroid head outlaw looking charachter. As a big fan of the first 2 games I cant say I am overly excited for this as the third installment of the Max Payne game franchise but maybe as a new game on its own. The game looks like it has an entire new atomosphere and mood looking away from the gloomy, dark mysterious world that fans come to love in the first 2 games. We have to wait and see till the game is officially released in winter of 2009. Meanwhile enjoy the teaser and the officilally released art of the game via rockstargames.com

Inspiration: Photographic Horror

zhangpeng_15
Truly amazing but also creepy photos of doll like girls that take on a stament.

"In a broad sense, all of my works demonstrate a kind of oppression. If conditions allow, parents plan a future that they think will be good for their children. If they are not wealthy enough, they hope their children will have a skill and then they force them to develop it. As children grow up, their character is distorted by the inappropriate pressure of their parents and their schools. The appearances of my figures drift between real people and dolls. While the image is aesthetic, I also want to reinforce the strong sense of distortion." Via Zhang Peng.
