Los Angeles Stadium to be First LEED Certified NFL Stadium | Inhabitat
Los Angeles Stadium to be First LEED Certified NFL Stadium | Inhabitat
A design for the new Los Angeles NFL stadium is in the works and it is set to be the first NFL stadium ever to become LEED certified. Designed by Aedas, a global architecture firm, the Los Angeles Stadium might be finished as early as the 2011 football season, although what NFL team will make its home there is still unknown. Aedas has designed the eco stadium to be a multi-purpose venue and has also included a significant commercial and entertainment sector. With smart design, reduced CO2 emissions and major recycling initiatives, the LA Stadium will be a great boon to the city.

San Francisco's Transbay Terminal is Green, Ultra-Slick | Inhabitat
San Francisco's Transbay Terminal is Green, Ultra-Slick | Inhabitat
We were excited to learn last year that the new Transbay Transit Center in downtown San Francisco would be built with green features in mind. We’re even more excited now that the $4 billion terminal has just received a $171 million loan from the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) to go ahead with phase 1 of the project, which will replace the current Transbay Terminal.

Adobe speaks up about Flash on the iPad
Adobe speaks up about Flash on the iPad
The iPhone and iPod touch haven't run Flash natively in the years since their respective debuts, and it's pretty clear based on Steve Jobs's presentation yesterday that the iPad won't run Flash, either. When scrolling through the New York Times's main page, for example, where Flash ads or video might have been there were instead broken LEGO icons, big as life on the screen at the keynote.

Apple unveils iPad tablet | iPodNN
After much speculation Apple has officially announced the iPad, the company's first tablet device. The hardware resembles an oversized iPhone, but uses a dramatically altered version of the iPhone interface, borrowing tropes from Mac OS X such as a Dock, floating windows and a desktop background. Apps on the device are much more elaborate, for instance allowing Mail to display both a list of messages and a preview pane at the same time, or Calendar to show an entire month.
Prices for tablets without 3G are $499 for 16GB, $599 for 32GB and $699 for 64GB. Models tied to AT&T will cost $629, $729 and $829, respectively. The former will ship in 60 days, to be followed by the 3G units in another 30.

Stunning American Residence by Robert Mills | Interior Design, Decorating, Furniture, Architecture, Home & House Design Magazine
From Robert Mills, this home is an example of an American architectural successes.The stunning looking residence can be characterized by straight lines and cubic modules as opposed to a more dynamic interior with an impressive staircase with curved lines. The rooms are all very inspiring and have a modern feel. From dark colors to white, mellow ones, this house impresses through its diversity. The rugs bring a special touch to the place and go with a series of well chosen decorative items. If you look closely, you will see plenty of details and unusual furniture items that manage to make a difference. We really enjoy how the terrace looks in the autumn colors and we can’t help imagining how dining there in would feel like.

Terminus / On Office | ArchDaily
On Office’s Grand Terminus Hotel in Bergen, Norway is situated next to an exisiting traditional “Heritage” building. For the modern extension, the architects focused on maintaining a relationship with the existing hotel, while also working with sun exposure levels. The triangulated form morphs off the end of existing to become an unique entity that is still tied to its context. The geometric form provides dynamic interior spaces that aim to “establish an intimate relation with the existing small houses in the surroundings.”

Today, Burj Khalifa Is the Tallest Structure in the World (Or Is It?) | Cannell | Fast Company
Today, Burj Khalifa Is the Tallest Structure in the World (Or Is It?) | Cannell | Fast Company
The Oz-like Burj Khalifa in Dubai officially opened today, succeeding Taipei 101 as the world's tallest building. There is no disputing its preposterous height: At 169 stories, or 2,717 feet, the $1.5 billion tower on the edge of Dubai's business district stands a little more than half a mile high, roughly twice the height of the late World Trade Center twin towers. But not everyone agrees that it qualifies as the tallest manmade structure. And suppose it does? Given how egregiously the Dubai boom has cratered, it's hard not to think of the building as a monument to the false economies of the 2000s.
