In Hong Kong, because of the space, apartments are small and expensive. Gary Chang, an architect, decided to design a 344 sq. ft. apartment to be able to change into 24 different designs, all by just sliding panels and walls. He calls this the "Domestic Transformer."

Marilyn Monroe x-rays up for sale
The images are part of a unique collection up for auction in Las Vegas later this year.
They were taken at the Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Florida, where Monroe was being treated. The x-ray is marked 'Marilyn Di Maggio' and date to around the time the actress was divorcing her second husband, US baseball star Joe Di Maggio.
There are high hopes for the sale at Julien's Auctions. Entertainment auctioner Darren Julien said: "We estimate the x-rays to be right around $800 to $1200 each but anticipating that they'll sell for a lot more based upon other x-rays of celebrities that we've sold."
It is widely believed Monroe suffered two miscarriages in the late 1950s and it is thought that around the time the x-rays were taken, she could have been trying to see if she was pregnant.

Unique Sculpture
At first glance these objects look like they are in motion, almost like every object is falling down, especially the "strawberry blanket". In reality they are actually natural materials, like feathers, fruits and flowers, attached to nylon threads. Sculptor Claire Morgan from Belfast is the creator of this magnificent art work. She has among other things achieved a first class degree in Sculpture from Northumbria University.
Since graduating she has pursued a career solely as a visual artist. She has exhibited internationally, with solo shows, residencies and commissions across the UK, as well as group exhibitions in Europe. At an early stage she developed a strong interest in the organic, in natural processes, and in the bodily connotations of natural materials. This formed the basis for her practice as an artist creating sculptural installations and continues to influence her work at present.
