Over in the ID sector, most have probably read about the new Target medicine bottle, here's an article by the New York Metro covering the SVA graduate who created the original design titled Safe Rx for her senior thesis. She now works for Milton Glaser!

William McDonough, an architect I wouldn't mind working for should teach at CMU. CMU is all about sustainable design and McDonough executes the idea to near perfection, especially the Rohner textile plant in Switzerland. He makes the impossible, possible and Newsweek's Designing the Future article gives you a snapshot of his work.
Recently read William McDonough's section in Bruce Mau's Massive Change book which is why the Newsweek article above caught my attention, but something I found more interesting was Rick Smalley's interview in the same book. On the C60 (carbon-60 molecule) he states,
"Sixty is a remarkable number. It turns out that it is the largest number of objects you can arrange around the surface of a sphere and have each be identical to every other one by a simple rotation. Sixty also has more integral factors than any other number and any range of numbers, if 60 is inside that range or some multiple of 60. It is this factorability of 60 that gave the Babylonians reason to use it as the basis of their number system. And it's the reason that around the world we divide the hour into 60 minutes and the minute into 60 seconds."
