Sitooterie II by Thomas Heatherwick

Barnards Farm, Essex, UK

What's a 'Sitooterie'? It's a Scottish term for a small summer house - quite literally a "sit oot". It's a 2.4m cube with a window and a door, perforated with nearly 5,000 pre-drilled holes, each receiving an identical aluminium "hair".

How does the lighting work? Sunlight is transmitted down the hollow length of each tube into the "Sitooterie" and coloured acrylic caps on the end of each hair gives the light an orange glow. Internal lighting at night makes the outside glow with thousands of points of light.

The structure is a cube punctured by over 5000 long thin windows that project from all its surfaces and lift it off the ground. The cube, which measures 2.4 x 2.4 metres, is precision-machined from 15mm anodised aluminium and the windows are 18mm square-section aluminium tubes glazed with transparent orange acrylic.

As the long thin windows all point at the exact centre of the cube, it only takes a single light source, located at this central point, to send light through every tube, causing the windows to glow orange. A small number of them also project into the cube to form seating.

New community - Social Spark.

Social Spark is new star.Social Spark is new star.

I’m trying new community - SocialSpark. Social Spark is here and can help you monetize your blog, build community and drive traffic.I will try to figure it out soon.I know you can make friends, you can find some blog job opportunities there or you can advertise yourself! There is a community place and there is a marketplace where you can look for job proposition from various companies and self-made bloggers.

There are the three main types of marketplace opportunities: Sponsored Post, Blog Sponsorship and Spark.

“In the Sponsored Post Opportunity, a Blogger will create a unique sponsored post on his/her blog based on the guidance the Advertiser provides. The Advertiser can choose to have each Blogger include an image, video or press release along with the Blogger's own text.

Blog sponsorships are a means by which the Advertisers to utilize SocialSpark's unique technology to create a 'welcome mat' and persistent sponsorship banner on blogs. Sponsorships can consist of text, images or video. The advertiser pays per day that a select blog runs the Blog Sponsorship.

Spark: Sparks are free Opportunities that serve as ideas for blog posts. Sparks are utilized primarily by Bloggers, but may also be used by Advertisers. They offer no tracking or segmentation options.” (Explanation given by Social Spark)”

To qualify your blog must be at least 90 days old, with at least 20 pre-existing posts written in the last 90 days. Should be in English or Spanish. I’m helping spreading the word. If you are a bloggers who are looking for a way to earn some money from their blog, this for you!The ways you can make money on here range quite a bit. Some advertisers offers you peanuts , others are pretty generous. So it really depends on us bloggers.

As my blog is about interior design, I tried to find some jobs who want me to write about interior design but I could find only 2 job opportunities. I didn’t take them because they didn’t fit my blog.

There are many reviews about Social Spark website. Some love it, some hate it. I wonder what I’m going to say!?!
