at pasona group’s new headquaters in downtown tokyo, employees are about to enjoy a gorgeous picnic of their hand picked fruits and vegetables freshly grown next to their desks under natural sunlight.

no joke, new york based firm kono designs has transformed the nine-story corporate office into a green paradise comprises over 40000 square feet with 200 species of fruits and vegetables as well as rice! yep, there is a rice paddy in the main lobby!!!

not only with a double-skin green façade and a rooftop garden, inside you have tomatoes vines suspended over conference rooms, lemon and passion fruit trees separating the meeting spaces, a field of broccoli, even sprouts are growing under the benches!

how beautiful and delicious! :)

oftcc:

The bicycle barometer takes data about the weather, the status of the tube lines I use to get to work, and whether my local station is open or shut.

It then reduces all that data down to a single value and displays it on a dial with a bike sign at one end and a tube sign at the other.

For example, if it is raining a bit the dial will move a bit towards the tube sign, but if the tube is suffering delays, it will move a bit back in the other direction.

Different data points get different weightings. E.g. snow is more important than a bit of drizzle; the tube station being shut trumps everything.

It is built using a Nanode and an old clock I found at a flea market. The data comes from the Met Office’s Datapoint API and Transport for London’s line status and station status API’s.

The code, instructions and design for building one are available here: https://github.com/memespring/bicycle-barometer
