Penthouse Slums of Hong Kong.
Portraits From Above is 280 pages, 100 photographs in color and duotone, and 58 architectural drawings about the high-rise shanty towns that arose in Hong Kong during the 20th century, when a lack of elevators made penthouses an inconvenience. Thanks to Dornob!

Aircruise From London to New York (concept)
Aircruise was created as the antithesis of a hurried, crowded passenger jet. London-based design and innovation company Seymourpowell wanted to rethink transport - on the premise ‘slow is the new fast’. The Aircruise straddles the line between a cruise ship and a floating hotel. Silent and pollution free, the Aircruise combines solar power with a primary hydrogen drive for a cruising speed of around 90mph. Theoretically, it could ferry 100 people from London to New York in a leisurely 37 hours or from Los Angeles to Shanghai in just under four days.
and if it loses power (say, not enough sunlight for solar power or leaky hydrogen tank), then what? haha…unique concept though.
