Gandhi World Record of the Day: 485 kids from Kolkata marked the 64th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi’s passing by setting a new Guinness World Record last week for most children dressed as the late leader.

The previous record was set in 2010 by 255 students from the south Indian city of Coimbatore.

In addition to setting the record, the underprivileged boys, aged 10 to 16, took part in a half-kilometer trek through Kolkata meant to symbolize the revolutionary Dandi Salt March of 1930.

‘Billion-euro home’ built out of shredded bills in Ireland
An unemployed Irish artist has built a home from the shredded remains of 1.4-billion euros ($1.82 billion), a monument to the “madness” he says has been wrought on Ireland by the single currency, from a spectacular construction boom to a wrenching bust.

Frank Buckley built the apartment in the lobby of a Dublin office building that has lain vacant since its completion four years ago at the peak of an ill-fated construction boom, using bricks of shredded euro notes he borrowed from Ireland’s national mint.

“It’s a reflection of the whole madness that gripped us,” Buckley said of what he calls his “billion-euro home.”

“People were pouring billions into buildings now worth nothing,” he said. “I wanted to create something from nothing.” (Photos: Cathal McNaughton/Reuters)

In thinking about designing an Earthship, it includes an element called a “cob bench” - basically a heated bench that acts as a radiator in the space it is placed.  Second row, middle photo might be a super cool way to imagine that cob bench.  Playful and ergonomic.

The Vittra School in Stockholm has open spaces allowing children to freely roam while learning. It’s a fascinating space and a novel concept for a learning space.
