BEIJING — As nearly 190,000 dancers, politicians, soldiers and fighter pilots prepared for the highly synchronized extravaganza marking the 60th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China on Thursday, perhaps no one was feeling more performance anxiety than Guo Hu, Beijing’s chief weatherman.
While meteorologists in much of the world are simply charged with forecasting rain or shine, Mr. Guo and his colleagues at the Beijing Municipal Meteorological Station were also responsible for making sure the weather is of the crowd-pleasing variety. “If we make a mistake with our work, the impact will be huge,” Mr. Guo, a soft spoken scientist, told a news conference this week. “We are under a lot of pressure.”
Meteorologists said their efforts to prevent foul weather on Oct. 1 involved satellites, 400 scientists, cloud-probing lasers and a squadron of transport planes capable of sprinkling liquid nitrogen into pregnant clouds. “It is the first time in Chinese history that artificial weather modification on such a large scale has been attempted,” Cui Lianqing, an air force meteorologist, told Global Times newspaper last week.

koolhaas houselife
Rem Koolhaas examines the afterlife of starchitecture in this cheeky little film about his own creation, the widely praised home in Bordeaux, France that he designed for the wheelchair bound publisher Jean-Francois Lemoine.
Besides the celebrity of the architect and the house itself, the star of the film is the housekeeper who deals with the everyday life and eccentricities of the home. "There's nothing holding it up. I hope it doesn't fall down."
i want to see this.
bike party in connecticut!
“Bike Rides: The Exhibition,” which opened Saturday at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, presents bicycles in all their glory. There are high-tech bicycles made from bamboo and titanium, two of Lance Armstrong’s carbon fiber bikes, and nationalistic creations like the restored and elaborately personalized vintage Schwinns from the Puerto Rico Schwinn Club, based in New York City. Among the sculptural works — from China, India and Brazil — is Cai Guo-Qiang’s “Illusion of Childhood,” an assemblage of bicycles, toys and other objects.The exhibition also features bike racks, a bicycle advocacy mural and bicycle-inspired videos, including “Helmet-Cam Video” by David Byrne, the musician, artist and bicycling proponent, in which he navigates Manhattan by bike.

"During four weeks a robot of the ETH Zurich will built the ‘Pike Loop’ installation on a traffic island in the middle of New York. From 5 October passersby will be able to follow the construction of the bending brick wall, which will be finished 27 October and last until the end of the year. The installation and its unique construction method was developed by the professorship of Gramazio & Kohler ‘Architecture and Digital Fabrication’ at the ETH Zurich. The research of this professorship will be presented within the attendant exhibition „Digital Materiality“ in the „Storefront for Art and Architecture“ gallery from 1 October til 14 November."
