School Landscape by Svet Vmes

Architect firm Svet Vmes have designed School Landscape, an social area for students at the Ledina Grammar School in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Project description

Ledina is one of the oldest grammar schools in Ljubljana. It has operated for 144 years. The school plan has a characteristic “U” shape, with two main entrances that were once used as separate entrances – for boys and girls. Due to safety reasons only one is in use today, while the second one is closed and has no function.

The idea was to create a new “semi-public” school space for leisure activities of students during recess, before and after school. The enclosure is formed with wavy bands with different gradients of one material. With this element we broke the hard, uneven space and transformed it into a new, soft, single space.

As internet is indispensable in everyday life of pupils, the room has wireless internet, loudspeakers and a projector to ensure a more relaxed ambience. The place becomes a multi used school landscape where students can rest, socialize, watch movies, get information, listen to music, and organize lectures or performances by school DJs.

Dual-Mode Headphone Concept from LG Electronics

Dual-Mode headphone offers multi-function device for mobile users. It’s a Bluetooth concept headset that emits sound in 2 different ways: ear buds or embedded speaker. We know that many of us enjoying listen to the music wherever we are, whether we are cycling, driving, jogging, hiking, etc. However, when you are wearing headphone to listen to your music, it shuts out external sound, thus, it’s difficult to know what’s going on around you. It might cause serious accidents.

With this Dual-Mode headphone, you can choose how to listen your music. You can choose to use the speaker while riding your bike or use the ear buds when in a train or a bus. This concept device doesn’t have any button, to make the music starts, you can simply tap the front part and tap it again to turn it off. Swiping the side backward to turn the volume up and swiping the side forward to turn the volume down.
