Small Apartment Transformer
The common problem of urban centers is the scarcity of space. Most people live in tiny apartments due to the expensive cost. Gary Chang An Architect from Hong Kong has designed his apartment in such a way that it will revolutionize how we can maximize small spaces.
Modern Tree Houses
Some of the most interesting designs I've seen are the ones that veer away from the norm. They create unique designs by creating unusual solutions. Treehouses are one of the interesting types of buildings we need to explore.
Green architecture is gaining popularity with the public. Building a structure around a tree instead of cutting it down is becoming common. It is one-way architects can help preserve the environment.
Exceptional Digitat Art
Art is the expression of a person's emotion through the medium that person chooses. It may be through music, literature, photography, oil in the canvass, or other means. The medium is only the artist's instrument, which allows him or her to share his creative thoughts with others.
Technology has provided us with more tools to express ourselves. I have always been a visual person, and most of the art that I appreciate is visual. Most of the excellent artists that I know can create works of art in whatever medium they provide.
Amazing Future Homes
I was browsing through Forbes for some interesting article about investments and found this interesting article about future homes. This was the last place I thought I could find architecture and design related articles but the slides really caught my interest.

Glass House
Every culture has their limits when it comes to the privacy of their home. In some places people don't rely on fence to secure their home and privacy from prying eyes. In other areas people put up tall concrete walls which are sometime even taller than the house. A lot of circumstances are considered which determines how open people are with their homes.
In my country most people usually put up fences around their houses to prevent others from entering the premises of their home. It also serves as a way for them to prevent others from seeing what happens inside the premises. Since the majority of the homes here have small lots, almost all homes maximize the lot for their home which in turn lessens the easement between the house and the road.
I always wanted to live in a house which has a lot of glass. I've made a lot of conceptual designs but most of these designs are too expensive and are inapplicable here in the Philippines. Asides from security, you'll need to have a large lot in order to keep your privacy from your neighbors.

Incredible animation of Superman Vs Hulk
A while ago I was browsing Youtube for a trailer of the new superman movie. I bumped into an animation created by mhabjan. I watched the entire animation, and I was very impressed by its quality.
I assumed the animation was done by a team of 3d artists. It was only when I read the description that I discovered that mhabjan was the only one working on this project. This has made it even more impressive.
It took him about eight months to finish the animation. It must have taken him a great deal of patience to accomplish this feat.

Extreme Cantilever Homes
Every time I see an extreme home I always wonder why architects go out of their way to achieve these feats. It must have taken guts on the part of the client to go with the daring designs of the architect. I usually get inspired looking through their designs.

Pleasing Visit to the Dentist.
Yesterday I had to visit the dental clinic to have my teeth cleaned. I avoid these visits since all I could focus on was the blank ceiling and the drilling sound of grinding my teeth. Even after several hours, the thought of the noise of the drill remains in my mind.
After that long thirty minutes, I decided to look for other dental clinics that offered a better experience. While searching for other dental clinics, I stumbled upon numerous dental clinics that were both unique and interesting. The only problem was all these clinics were nowhere near where I live.

Modern Compact Homes
Decent shelter is a major problem here in the Philippines. Due to poverty a lot of families here have little access to a decent home. I've always wondered if there was a way to provide decent shelter at a minimal cost.
To achieve the least cost, the design of the house should maximize every inch of space. I've found a lot of ideas from the works of different architects. Although designed by foreign architects, their designs are ideal for the shelter problem here in my country. Mobile homes or trailers are also a good inspiration to maximize space. These mobile homes are limited to the size of the roads.
Tutorial: Selective Noise Reduction
Shooting at high ISO can result in noise. Most of the time noise both color and luminance are found at dark areas of the photos. Applying noise reduction to the photos will also result in reduction of details. I've devised a method in selectively reducing noise on my photos shot at high ISO. Below is step by step guide to my selective noise reduction work flow on photoshop. (Click on the images to view full size)
1. Open the file
2. Create a duplicate layer of the file
3. Apply Noise reduction to the entire photo. You may use any noise reduction filter you like. I prefer the Reduce Noise Filter.
