Cristo Redentor, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Cristo Redentor, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The idea of erecting a large statue atop Corcovado was first suggested in the mid-1850s, when Catholic priest Pedro Maria Boss requested financing from Princess Isabel to build a large religious monument. Princess Isabel did not think much of the idea and it was dismissed in 1889, when Brazil became a republic with laws mandating the separation of church and state. The second proposal for a landmark statue on the mountain was made in 1921 by the Catholic Circle of Rio. The group organized an event called Semana do Monumento ("Monument Week") to attract donations and collect signatures to support the building of the statue. The donations came mostly from Brazilian Catholics. The designs considered for the "Statue of the Christ" included a representation of the Christian cross, a statue of Jesus with a globe in his hands, and a pedestal symbolizing the world. The statue of Christ the Redeemer with open arms, a symbol of peace, was chosen.

The Smartphone Bicycle
The Smartphone Bicycle - Safety protocols say to keep both hands on the
handlebars but they also say use hand gestures to signal turn intention.
Contradiction! The Ecodrive has integrated lights and turn signals
controlled via the handlebars. And no concept is complete without some
form of smartphone integration so this little guy has a nice cubby hole
for the iPhone. Keeps it charged and in return, the iPhone gives you
access to its magical GPS and navigation abilities. It’s animal
symbiosis people.Designer: Juil Kim
