Mass transportation doesn&#8217;t have to mean masses of people stuffed in large vehicles. SkyTran, a cross between a monorail, Minority Report and a hanging roller coaster, is a departure from what most would consider mass transit.

Everyone seems to be slowing down a little bit, especially in the design sector. Everyone except Zaha Hadid, that is.
Even before the architectural slow-down, Hadid had been lending her design aesthetic to the world of product design. Some of Haid&#8217;s creations include shoes for Melissa and Lacoste and lighting for Swarovski. Hadid&#8217;s latest lighting venture [...]]]></description>

Designer / Bookmark Maker Wonsik Chae takes this concept to an elegant level by making the drop-in tea bag light up your environment chemically. For those whose eyes are sensitive to brightness [...]]]></description>

Unlike the STRiDA which was designed for portable urban transportation, the Green Shadow is built for speed. Designed by Spanish graphic and industrial design firm Mr. Onüff, the Green Shadow features an on-board computer that tracks mileage, heart rate and calories making it the sleekest exercise bike ever.
