lamp by Tord Boontje.

I love this project! If only I were half as clever as this guy.
Description (from his site):
Heat generated by halogen lights activates a propeller and thus movement in the Dancing Shades lamp. The lamp projects shadows on the wall that create the same type of relaxing and hypnotic atmosphere that reflections of moving water create.

I like this lamp, though it's static. It'd be nice to see a dynamic version of this -- I was interested in how different cut outs can make moire patterns: http://www.scandinaviandesign.com/louispoulsen/0509/

Some great work here by hehe --This project in particular uses blowing/breath. Paper cup as diffuser -- inspired material choice

the windows at Jean Nouvel's Institut du Monde Arabe. The opening flower idea reminded me of a cross between this and Sigi's Flower Power project.
