Qatar National Convention Center

When a lot of us think about convention centers, we think of big empty spaces that are certainly not exactly friendly to the surrounding. That’s not the case for the next generation of convention centers — case in point, the very cool looking Qatar National Convention Center designed by Yamasaki Architects.

The amazing 177,000 square meter structure is seeking a LEED Gold Rating, a first for a building of its type in the region. When it’s completed next year the center will boast 3,700 square meters of solar panels in addition to a host of other resource-saving applications.

A new concept in Boats! Zembo’s the name, and ridin’  is the game!

Even Narwhals let some gas go once in a while. This boat we’re about to describe has zero emission! When the beans don’t go in one end, the beans don’t come out the other! It’s called “ZEMBO” because it is a zero emissions boat. How does it get around then, you might ask? It’s got a wave generator! And a fuel cell, too. I’m totally pumped up about the wave generator though, most of all.

12 m of pure silvery loveliness. Oh dear, that’s a lot of space! It’s a motor boat made to fit right in with the rest of the premium daycruisers. Lightweight construction of recyclable Aluminum, Monohull has fabulous gliding capabilities and makes for an easy chunk to propel.

SENTORI 50 R

This is exactly the 50 feet flybridge motor yacht that you need. That’s what I’m about to stand by. This lovemobile has three decks of elegance. This is another fabulous automotive-inspired boat machine from Motion Code Blue. It’s called the SENTORI 50 R in all caps, and it’s so very visually powerful. Believe it. It looks just like a coupe! Doesn’t it?

How about a little luxury? Cap ou pas cap? You need to pull up your socks and work your butt to afford the sweet luxuries of life. The happy Brady Bunch here makes no bones of the fact that their Vivace26 Concept Speed Boat is only for the Haves; poor folks be damned! The two-seater high-speed luxury vessel, boasts of specs that take into account technology advances that have already been discovered and developed.

V12 TDI diesel engines from the Audi Rio Lemans Prototype and using Arneson surface drives as propulsion, the Vivace 26 can produce up to 650 horsepower and can touch speeds of 80+ knots. The Vivace 26 features a fully convertible top, joystick steering, steering, OLED display screens and hull stabilizers.

A unique feature in the design is the hull, which has Stabilizers to channel the water from the bow to the stern. This allows the boat to “grab” onto the water when traveling at high speeds.
