I have wanted one of these for years. It's been bookmarked in my "someday" folder for a long time now. Actually, I should try just laser cutting something similar, it shouldn't be too hard. But winning one would be a lot easier :)

I agree with the bathroom comment; don't we have enough screens in our lives already?

I do like the ideas about making digital images more tactile-like real paper.

Well done! A little elbow grease, and another perfectly good piece of furniture was saved from the landfill. Sometimes stuff just needs a little love.

I think it's great. The original house might have been built in the 50's, but that doesn't make it some instant classic of mid-century modernism. The new house is far more original and exciting than the old.

This is not a new concept. How do you think houses were built before the Industrial Revolution? There are most definitely more than 13 passive homes in the US.

I am so incredibly jealous of you! I visited Utrecht University this summer during an architecture study abroad trip. That campus has such a great collection of fantastic buildings. Have you gone for a slide on the curved wall in OMA's Educatorium? So much fun!

I especially loved the Spaceboxes, where you're living. You could do what I did and be a creepy voyeur, or go talk to your neighbors. Some people did some really creative stuff with what little space they have.

Seriously though, if you're only there for a year, you should spend as much time as possible OUTSIDE of your dorm. Holland is a beautiful country.
