Once we, YKON, proposed the removal of a Finnish national monument (in the context of Venice Biennale), then it was deemed impossible (by national authorities). Now Bjarke Ingels and his office did it. Removing the Little mermaid and taking it to Shanghai.  Finns, always one step behind the danes? 

In this lecture by ingels also some Utopian architechture in Azerbaijan

Cool, but some inconsistencies regarding what is ecological, sustainable and what you see on th pictures (yachts?)

Nanotechnology: Scientists create miniature machine parts from DNA.

As scientist create toolbox of Lilliputian gears, tubes and balls could that one day can be assembled into medical nanomachines for fixing faulty cells it is interesting to observe the evolution of verbs like understanding, when it comes to things we once did not even know about (like dna). “The main advantage of DNA is that we understand it,” said Hendrik Dietz, now head of the Laboratory for Biomolecular Nanotechnology at München Technical University in Germany. “DNA is the only material that we can program at the nanoscale.”
