LEDscapes: A Lighting Installation
This amazing LED lightbulb installation is the work of the young group Like Architects. The design collective teamed up with Ikea for this stunning show of lights in Lisbon, Portugal. This intricate display of lights is called LEDscape. If you go at night, you’re in for quite the treat; the lamps are lit gradually, pulsing in different rhythms. Thus light shapes the space diversely every few minutes, involving users in a game where their perception and awareness of the space — and the installation — constantly changes. Awesome work from these design teams. Be sure to check out more their work after the jump.

Einstein refused surgery, saying: “I want to go when I want. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share, it is time to go. I will do it elegantly.” He died in Princeton Hospital early the next morning at the age of 76, having continued to work until near the end.
Before Einstein passed away in his sleep that night, Einstein uttered his final words to the nurse caring for him. In a tragic loss to history, he said these words in German - a language that the nurse did not speak. At the time of his death, the physicist was writing a piece, which ended abruptly mid-sentence, “Political passions, once they have been fanned into flame, exact their victims…”
