6 rooms into 1: morphing apartment packs 1100 sq ft into 420
When we first met Graham Hill he #39;d spent most of the year living in tiny spaces- "a tiny trailer, a tent, and then a boat" and he was convinced others would love it as much if small spaces could be designed right. In 2010, we met Graham Hill- the founder of treehugger.com and a serial entrepreneur. He had just bought two tiny apartments in a century-old tenement building in Soho and he had plans to turn them into laboratories, and showcases, for tiny living. He wanted a tiny space that didn #39;t sacrifice function, but instead that would expand to provide a wish list including dinner parties for 12, accommodations for 2 overnight guests, a home office and a home theater with digital projector. Not wanting to limit himself to local architects, he crowdsourced the design as a competition and received 300 entries from all over the world. Two Romanian architecture students won with their design "One Size Fits All". Completed in 2012, his LifeEdited apartment doesn #39;t resemble the cramped space we saw in 2010. Today the 420-square-foot space can be expanded to include the functionality of 1100 square feet: walls, drawers and beds move and unfold to create 6 rooms: living room, dining room, office, guest office, master bedroom and guest bedroom. If you include the kitchen and the bathroom which morphs into a phone booth or meditation room, the apartment includes 10 total rooms.

The Ridgefield School District plans to build a new multipurpose building at the high school as part of $49 million in new construction planned throughout the district.
By Tyler Graf Columbian staff writer
Sunday, December 2, 2012
Architects designing $49 million worth of buildings at the Ridgefield School District have released a first look at how the new construction will take shape. But as designs on the bond-funded project come together, school district officials say they're still looking to cut costs where they can.
Nine months after voters approved a 20-year, $47-million bond package to pay for the bulk of work at three Ridgefield School District campuses, Vancouver-based LSW Architects has released its preliminary designs for the buildings. The architectural schematics and illustrations for the buildings are the next steps toward breaking ground, expected to take place during late spring.
Architects plan to complete their design phase by January, but the project remains over budget, Superintendent Art Edgerly said.
In the next month, district officials and construction managers with Triplett-Wellman Construction and Ketchum Enterprises will work to decrease costs. Edgerly didn't elaborate on the costs but said project managers will be able to tweak details of the buildings to make them cheaper to build.

Tryba Architects' New Principal Brings Wealth of Experience and Credentials in Higher Education and Sustainable Design
Count famed golf architect Tom Doak as among those against the renovations of the Old Course at St. Andrews, Announced last week by the organization that runs the 400-year-old course - the St. Andrews Links Trust, the modifications are intended to address today's longer-hitting players in advance of the 2015 Open Championship.
The Trust hired English architect Martin Hawtree, an esteemed designer whose most recent work is the much-heralded Trump International Golf Links near Aberdeen, Scotland. According to a recent Cybergolf article written by Tony Dear (http://www.cybergolf.com/golf_news/are_golfs_governing_bodies_really_working_in_the_best_interests_of_the_game3408), the project at the host venue of a record 28 Open Championships involves flattening the 11th green as well as changes to the second, third, fourth, seventh, ninth, and 17th holes.
The plans include the addition, repositioning and removal of several bunkers, and re-contouring several green surrounds. Such extensive changes to the Old Course have not been proposed since John Low oversaw a re-bunkering on the front nine in 1905-08.
Doak, who during his younger days spent several months living in St. Andrews studying the Old Course and serving as a caddie there, told http://www.golfclubatlas.com, "I have felt for many years that the Old Course was sacred ground to golf architects, as it was to Old Tom Morris, CB Macdonald, Harry Colt and Alister MacKenzie before us. It has been untouched architecturally since 1920, and I believe that it should remain so. I don't believe it should be impossible to change the Old Course, or any other historic course.
"But I think it should be a lot harder than it currently is, where only the management of the club and any consulting architect they hire have to agree," added the Michigan native. "I think the default position should be that such an international treasure should be guarded, and that there should be a high burden of proof that changes need to be made, before they can be made."
Robert Cupp, the current president of the American Society of Golf Course Architects, was a bit stronger in his opinion. "This is tantamount to redesigning Chartres [cathedral]," said Cupp. "The historic significance of those forms is immense, something that should be preserved at all cost, even if it is some low scores."
Doak has started a petition that's already been signed by other golf architects. He's received support from other designers around the world, including Graham Papworth, current president of the Society of Australian Golf Course Architects.
But New Zealand architect Scott Macpherson, who was profiled in another Dear story (http://www.cybergolf.com/golf_news/lollygaggers_need_not_apply) and whose book, "St. Andrews: The Evolution of the Old Course," is regarded as one of the most comprehensive accounts of the historic place, cautioned against overreacting. "Preservation is a sticky road," he told http://www.golfcoursearchitecture.net. "It's changing anyway - grass is growing, gorse is growing, bunkers are eroding. I'm pretty relaxed about some of the changes to the golf course, but I'm more worried about changing green contours."
Macpherson noted that, despite minor work on the golf course over the past century, this is the first time a name designer has left an imprint. "There is no architect credited for any of the alterations since Old Tom (Morris) built the first and 18th greens in 1870," he said.
"(H.S.) Colt was on (the) greens committee for a long time, but his name isn't attached to any alterations, and I spent a long time looking for such things in the historical papers."

Geekbench test on Macbook Air 11-inch Mid 2012, Intel Core i5-3317U @ 1.70 GHz Memory: 4.00 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Mac OS X 10.8.2 (Build 12C60) Subcribe - http://www.youtube.com for more test and gameplay review of games on Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch. Ask any questions. Thanks for watching ! My geekbench score: 6298 Benchmarks are particularly important in CPU design, giving processor architects the ability to measure and make tradeoffs in microarchitectural decisions. For example, if a benchmark extracts the key algorithms of an application, it will contain the performance-sensitive aspects of that application. Running this much smaller snippet on a cycle-accurate simulator can give clues on how to improve performance. Benchmarking your system is essential if you want to get to the bottom of hardware performance issues or simply measure performance over time. Geekbench is a processor and memory benchmark that #39;s been especially designed for 64-bit operating systems and multicore processors. The application provides a comprehensive set of benchmarks to measure processor and memory performance. Geekbench is refreshingly easy to use for a benchmarking application and runs testing very quickly. What #39;s great about it is that you don #39;t have to configure it. Within just a few clicks, you can not only benchmark your system, but share the results with other users via the Geekbench Result Browser although you have to register for a free account to do this.
