Knit one, purl two, now do it fast before the cops come. That must be what goes through the minds of those partaking in the current fad, Yarn Bombing (aka Knit Bombing or Guerrilla Knitting). Often the evidence will be a simple knit cuff cast around a stair rail such as the one below, innocuous enough. Then there are the more elaborate corsets fitted around tree trunks, and leggings placed on statues, often with a tag or note claiming responsibility.

Tomas Nilsson is a design student at Sweden's Linkping University, and his modern take on the Little Red Riding Hood story turns the old fairy tale into a story about 21st-century information flow. Inspired by an equally brilliant video by the Norwegian duo Ryksopp.Via: Very Short List

By dividing the oval section with a flat floor, a bow shaped space will appear on the bottom of the oval, which will serve as a heat chamber and be filled with pipes. Warm air that blows from locations of frequent use will efficiently heat the flooring. Eventually, the warm air will also be released through slit installments by the window, preventing cold drafts.
