The project was run by EXP, an architectural research group at the University of Westminster. It was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and made possible by the members of Archigram and their heirs, who retain copyright of all images. American Planning Association: Podcasts https://www.planning.org/multimedia/podcasts/ Interested in urban design or the work of noted urbanist Jane Jacobs? These topics and much more are addressed in these fine podcasts from the American Planning Association (APA). The podcasts are updated on a semi-regular basis and visitors will note that some of the more recent offerings include conversations with author Tony Hiss about 'deep travel' and a panel discussion on streetscape modifications in inner-ring suburbs. Currently the site includes over two dozen podcasts and visitors who work in planning and allied fields will find much to enjoy. Folks with an interest in sustainability should look over the 'Green Community' podcast series where they will find conversations about green parking garages, density issues, and crafting meaningful bike share programs. Additionally, there is a place on the site where visitors can pass along suggestions for future podcasts Domestic Interiors Database http://csdi.rca.ac.uk/didb/ The Domestic Interiors Database is a major outcome from a broad-ranging analytical survey of the ways in which the interior has been represented since the Renaissance in Western Europe and North America. DuckDuckGo https://duckduckgo.com/ A search engine that does not track you; CEO Gabriel Weinberg introduced a sweeping and beautiful redesign for DuckDuckGo, complete with contextual information you've come to expect from modern search engines. The overhauled engine can now return videos, images, definitions, local places, and Knowledge Graph-like bursts of basic biographical information--dubbed instant answers--when you search for topics, all via an attractive image-driven carousel at the top of the results.Text links have also been subtly tweaked, with a more uniform look and a flatter, cleaner aesthetic. The home page also looks slightly different, and has new buttons at the bottom. Sure, there isn't much here that you won't find in Google or Bing, but the revamp finally makes DuckDuckGo competitive with those two on more than privacy alone. - PC World on May 07, 2014 GIPHY http://giphy.com/categories/actions/ Giphy is the best way to search, share, and discover GIFs on the Internet.
