“Fast Track” is a 167 foot long trampoline track that was installed in Nikola-Lenivets park in rural Russia for the Archstoyanie art festival. It created by Estonian architecture firm Salto Architects.
"“Fast track” is a integral part of park infrastructure, it is a road and an installation at the same time. It challenges the concept of infrastructure that only focuses on technical and functional aspects and tends to be ignorant to its surroundings. “Fast track” is an attempt to create intelligent infrastructure that is emotional and corresponds to the local context. It gives the user a different experience of moving and percieving the environment."

Andrea Rekalidis‘ design, Plant The Fence, takes the iconic picket fence and scales it back to be almost sketch-like. At first glance, it looks like a graphic cartoon drawing of a fence but then you realize it’s actually a real fence. In place of wood, a row of metal gridded “planks” line up to be planted directly in the ground or into pots.

A long time ago, in a terrarium far far away, Yoda hung out on a tiny version of Dagobah just being tiny and awesome. But if you want that to happen all the time, in a terrarium that’s close close by, you just have to buy one from The Wonder Room etsy shop. Each terrarium is created by Minnesota based artist Tony Larson and measures about 5” tall. Larson’s shop also includes other cool terrariums with tiny dinosaurs and sasquatches and unicorns and stuff in ‘em. But just FYI, they’re not actual living tiny Yoda’s and Bigfoots in these glass bubbles—I learned that the hard way after I kept leaving pizza bites in the terrariums and nobody ate them… except for hundreds of ants. Which is actually pretty dope because now I have an awesome terrarium AND an ant farm.

LifeStraw is ideal for campers, travelers and hikers who may be drinking from rivers or lakes and are unsure of the water safety. It is the most advanced personal water filter available today.

BioLite makes clean burning wood-fired cooking stoves that also generate electricity (video). The technology is designed to improve the lives of the 3 billion people in developing countries who must prepare meals over wood cooking fires. According to BioLite these wood fires generate 1 billion metric tonnes of CO2 emissions and cause 2 million premature deaths each year. BioLite stoves convert some of the fire’s heat into electricity with a thermoelectric generator. The electricity powers a fan that enables a more efficient, cleaner burning fire that requires 50% less fuel, and reduces smoke by 94% and carbon monoxide by 91%. The generator can also charge a mobile device via USB (cell phones are increasingly available and important in the developing world), or power an LED light. The HomeStove is currently only being distributed in pilot programs in Sub-Saharan Africa and India. CampStove, a smaller, more portable stove designed for campers, is available to purchase online. New York City-based BioLite was founded by Alexander Drummond and Jonathan Cedar.
