With each year that goes by, gadgets and technology seem to get cooler and cooler. For the latest gadgets in 2020, see Hot Rate. Heart rate monitors have transformed into all-purpose fitness and activity trackers, drones are getting more instinctive by the day, and refrigerators can now actually do the job of making your grocery list for you.

It’s a strange and wonderful world we live in, and the International CES 2016 Gadget Showcase proves that it’s about to get even better. These 30 gadgets will hopefully be accessible on the market as soon as possible — #27 is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. (H/T: The Telegraph)

01. That’s right: The International CES 2016 Gadget Showcase has started, an event intended to show off the greatest new inventions the tech world has to offer.

05. LG showed off their new paper-thin OLED display, which is flexible and can role up like newspaper.

  • Project : Emulating the natural, cultural and historical importance of #Malinalco, #Mexico, home to one of the world’s three monolithic pyramids, the Mague House integrates the sanctity of the natural terrain into its architecture.

Mexican studio @mcxa.group [IG] designed the home’s volumes to carefully avoid any disturbance to the trees and flora of the sloping plot, resulting in an architectural space that meanders its way through outdoor spaces and abundant foliage.

Local materials such as wood, stone and the Mayan version of stucco, chukum, form a dwelling that is decidedly contemporary yet well within a pre-Hispanic cultural context. Slatted wood walls and large portions of glass take turns in forming a façade that simultaneously welcomes natural light into the space while offering its inhabitants their privacy. 

The different rooms are distributed along both sides of a cemented footpath that cuts across Mague House’s rectangular floor plan. Certain rooms were designed to be multifunctional and flexible, easily shifting from an area of rest to work.
A number of exterior terraces and patios dot the property, culminating in the main outdoor area which hosts a swimming pool, a monolithic stone bonfire pit, and a wooden pyramid-inspired structure.

  • House in minimalist Wabi-Sabi style by @selami.arq [IG]

In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of appreciating beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete" in nature.

Characteristics of wabi-sabi aesthetics and principles include asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and the appreciation of both natural objects and the forces of nature.

"If an object or expression can bring about, within us, a sense of serene melancholy and a spiritual longing, then that object could be said to be wabi-sabi."

"Wabi-sabi nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect."

Based on this philosophy, I wanted to design a house in the style of wabi sabi, which is widely used in architecture. What are your thoughts?
