Zaha Hadid Wins Design Comp For Guggenheim Hermitage Museum

When I saw first projects from Zaha Hadid some years ago, I was not sure what to think about it… However, the way she shapes materials and embeds buildings into the environment is really impressing. Now Hadid Architects won the another competition; for the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum in Vilnius.

Zaha Hadid’s silvery building resembling a sub-surface ferry or a space ship is the winning entry in the competition for the design of the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum in the ancient city of Vilnius, capital and the largest city of the Republic of Lithuania.

Is there any social something?

I am happy to share

I am used to upload some of my photos on sxc.hu, a free stock photo site. Of course, I possibly could earn money with these photos but I like to share. Even more if people who used my photos let me know that they used them. As a consequence, I am now a part of UK’s Climate Impact Programme and of a Russian book on modern Britain! I love the Internet! ; )

Photo used on ukcip.org.uk. Photo taken in London of the 30 St Mary Axe aka. The Gherkin.

Photo (2nd from top) used in a (I guess) Russian book on modern Britain. Unfortunately, I can not find the email with the info about this book : (.

Photo used on TheNibble. Photo taken on a fish market in Bergen (Norway). Photo used on Abendtipp.de. The picture at the top right was taken by my girlfriend in Stockholm (Sweden). Two tickets from a party at MondayBar in Stockholm.

iPhone will catch up in the business segment

The iPhone is in my opinion still a fancy, glossy, slick device which properly fulfil basic daily needs like making phone calls, sending text messages, listening to music or do some  surfing etc. Which is fine for residential customers. Nevertheless, iPhone lacks of some essential features compared to devices from Nokia or SonyEricsson, to say the least - not to think about push technology. Now a survey made by ChangeWave, however, shows some interesting facts about company’s device plans for the future. It seems that Apple’s iPhone will be close on BlackBerry’s heels ; )

Apple will soon take the second place slot in business smartphone ranking, according to ChangeWave, with 11 percent of respondents saying their companies plan to purchase iPhones.
