...smarts in SmartWrap come from flat circuitry called OLEDs (organic light-emitting diodes), which are tattooed onto the plastic by an ink-jet printer and can function either as a light source or a computer display. When used on an exterior wall, OLEDs could transform the look of your house in seconds. "You could have a blue house one day and a green house the next day," says Timberlake. "You could have a camouflage pattern or political signage." Insulation is provided by gel-filled pockets between two layers of SmartWrap; power can be supplied by solar cells and stored...
...Droo, 33, twin brothers based in New York City, call themselves Skewville. One of their practices is to rescue discarded metal ventilator grates and carve them with such block-lettered words as FAKE or SKEW. Then they mount their creations on exterior walls where you might expect to find working ventilator grates, hiding their art in plain sight within the urban jungle. The Los Angeles artist Tiki Jay One, 32, has recently begun cementing to whatever surface will hold them 1-ft.-tall concrete sculptures of Polynesian tiki heads. "When I go out, it's a serious operation," he says...
...will not comment. But while design experts stood by quietly, local residents protested the construåction of CGIS, and the City of Cambridge blocked Harvard’s initial plan to construct a tunnel connecting the two buildings.

At least that was the concept two and a half years ago, when brothers Joe and Paul DeGeorge formed their wizard–inspired rock band Harry and the Potters, which has recently garnered a Harvard following. “We thought it was a great idea because people are just crazy for Harry Potter,” says Paul DeGeorge. And indeed they are. When the Harvard First-year Outdoor Program (FOP) staff members discovered...
...cupholders that can handle a grande latte, and there's an integrated bottle opener. (What, no corkscrew?) Coolest feature: you can plug your iPod into the audio system through a connection in the glove box. More important, the R-Class is as roomy as a suburb, even if the exterior design fails to excite. TIME's backseat test passenger--all 6 ft. 8 in. of him--hadn't had that much room in a car since he was 10 years younger and a foot shorter. And there's an optional rear roof window, adding to the roomy, open feeling...
