Most amazing architect i have ever seen! Raleigh NC
Lynda Strickland began working with our office in early 2003 to design a house in the trees where she could be with the birds and take advantage of the views across her site towards Crabtree Creek. Our design lifts the house off the ground on a series of sono-tube formed concrete piers and 8x8 wooden braces allowing minimal site disturbance. The house opens out to the north and the view with a storefront glass and steel façade stretching from the floor to the ceiling. Contrasting the window wall is the solid thick wall to the south which reaches 7’-0” above the finished floor upstairs wrapping the southwest and southeast corners.

Real-Life Iron Man: A Robotic Suit That Magnifies Human Strength
CYBERDYNE is not the only company developing exoskeleton technology. The U.S. Army is in the very early stages of testing an aluminum exoskeleton created by Sarcos, a Salt Lake City robotics and medical device manufacturer (and a division of defense contractor Raytheon), to improve soldiers' strength and endurance. The exoskeleton is made of a combination of sensors, actuators and controllers, and can help the wearer lift 200 pounds several hundred times without tiring, the company said Wednesday in a press release. The company also claims the suit is agile enough to play soccer and climb stairs and ramps.
