TRIFLOW TAP BY ZAHA HADID

The new Triflow tap by Zaha Hadid takes inspiration from the fluid movement of water. The revolutionary shape employs the latest methods of production and a unique ceramic coring process, resulting in a tap that is as much a piece of art as it is a kitchen or bathroom appliance.

While hot and cold water is controlled by the tap’s discrete handle, the drinking water element is activated by a touch sensitive electronic button indicated by the subtle Triflow logo. A green halo light ignites when operational, turning red when the water treatment cartridge needs replacing and flashing red when the battery is running low. The battery provides back-up in case of mains electricity failure.

The 3 shiny taps are looked like steady sophisticated shapes are moored on peaceful water surface.

MAIN BAR

This year’s 100% Design main bar has been designed by Viable London. Better known for their furniture designs, this is the studio’s first bar commission.
The Main Bar at Earls Court is the centerpiece of 100% Design and the studio wanted to create visually striking yet not overbearing design, working with various material sponsors.
Both the inspiration and constraints for the design came from the materials themselves; Perspex and aluminium are commonly paired together in retail and exhibition environments but their usage tends to be restricted to standard panel constructions and signage.
By working with the materials, Viable London has used a folded hexagonal aluminium framework from Unibox and geometric shapes to create a 3D paneled surface that creates visual impact and defines the spaces.
The screens are arranged around a bar counter clad in seductive Midnight black Perspex, which complements the dark UPM Profi decking stretching the full 25m length of the space. Bute’s fabrics were selected for the upholstery for their beautiful blend of colours and textures that which compliment the concept of the Main Bar.
Even though both materials are recyclable, (having been witness to the frequent waste of materials at the end of exhibitions) Viable London was keen that the main structure of the bar be re-useable. The modular and de-mountable components have achieved this. All of the frames will be dismantled at the end of the show to be re-used in infinite formations for future shows, displays or exhibitions.

First we state that “girls require time and money.” (the assumptions base on their relationships)
Girl = Time x Money

And as we all know “time is money.”
Time = Money

And because “money is the root of all evil.”
Money = sqrt(Evil)

Originally we have:
Girl = Time x Money

And now we substitue everything in, we get:
Girl = Money x Money
Girl = sqrt(Evil) x sqrt(Evil)
Girl = (sqrt(Evil))^2
Gril = Evil

How About Men??

First we state that men need time, money, girl and sex.
Men = Time x Money x Girl x Sex

We all know “time is money.”
Time = Money

Therefore:
Men = Money x Money x Girl x Sex

And we all know to many men:
Girl = Sex

As for men’s proof showing “girls are evil” So
Girl = Evil then,
Evil = Sex

Men = Money x Money x Evil x Evil
Men = Money^2 x Evil^2

And because “money is the root of all evil.”
Men = (sqrt(Evil))^2 x Evil^2
Men = Evil x Evil^2
Men = Evil^3

Men’s proof:
Girl = Evil

Girl’s proof:
Men = Evil^3

Most men stay with women together for love and sex. So, there is another equations shown as follow: (to put it simply)

Men = Sex + Love

Girls = Money + Time

And as we all know “time is money.”

Time = Money

And because “Money is the source of evil”

Money = Evil

We know that “Cupid is an angel.”

Love = Cupid = Angel

And also many men believe

Sex = Girls

Therefore, we can get

Girls = Money + Money = 2 Money = 2 Evil

Men = Love + Sex = Angel + Girls = Angel + 2 Evil

Angel is holy and looked as the opposite of evil, so we can get:

Evil = -Angel

2 Evil > Angel + 2 Evil

Men = Angel + 2 Evil = Angel + 2(- Angel) = – Angel = Evil

Those proof that Girls is more evil than Men.

From the above equations ( Girls = 2 Evil, and, Men = Angel + 2 Evil), What we can get If men leave their girls or girls leave their men?

Men – Girls = Angel + 2 Evil – 2Evil = Angel

Girls – Men = 2 Evil – (Angel + 2Evil) = -Angel

“-Angel” can be looked as “Samele” (Come From “Bible”), in another way said “Fallen Angel” could be easily understood, because of that, Girls can be regarded as “Samele”. Meanwhile, “Samele”  is the angels who betrayed GOD and follow “Satan”, therefore, “Samele” can be seen as evil.

Girls – Men = -Angel = Samele = Evil

So we are forced to conclude that if stay away their relationships, men can be angel and girls can be evil. In another hand, girls can be more evil and men is better than girls.

Actually, maybe we neglect some variables of relationships to create those.

Just a fun, enjoy it ~

A “gulf” is continuing to divide architects from the rest of society because of their obsession with forms, the Prince of Wales said in a historic speech to the RIBA this evening.

Maybe he got the misunderstand about modernism and define of architectural public space, even he does not have any knowledge of architecture.
