?urban thinking presents the work of CM+, a practice deeply rooted in site, culture and place. CM+ projects range from urban furniture to new cities:---Designing new cities is often the challenge of how to generate a sense of authenticity in a new place. Projects range from the redevelopment of Sydney''s industrial lands at Darling Harbour and Homebush, to new city plans for Jakata, Shanghai and Ho Chi Minh City.---Designing waterfronts is often a story of rediscovery, making the lost found, and returning a place to its genesis. Projects range from plans to transform Walsh Bay and Circular Quay, to the Kuching and Malaka waterfronts, and the London Promenade, which is destined to change the way people experience this city.---Designing universities often becomes how to generate a sense of organisation and a rational growth path. Projects range from the strategic masterplan for Sydney University, to major works at UNSW and Macquarie University, to plans for campuses in Shanghai, Beijing and Botswana.---The challenge of placemaking often becomes about uncovering layers of meaning, making them visible and finding an appropriate way to express this in a public place. Projects include Canberra Walk, transforming Sydney''s Macquarie Street into a civic boulevard, and the establishment of Street Furniture.---The central question of designing with heritage often becomes how to create a place that informs us of the past while positioning its identity in the future. Projects have included Goat Island, The Rocks, Hill End and the redevelopment of The Scottish Hospital in Paddington.---Designing infrastructure becomes a question of how to develop a sense of place at a regional scale and a local scale simultaneously. Projects include the Heirisson Island Bridge in Perth, precinct master plan to protect sensitive foreshore areas in a Pacific Highway upgrade, to aspects of Sydney''s Light Rail, MetroLink, NorthConnex, WestConnex and Westlink M7.---The design of housing takes place at two scales - that of the individual dwelling unit and that of the urban neighbourhood. Projects range from affordable housing in Ultimo to major developments in Shanghai and Abu Dhabi.

Fry goes to a robot dentist, who discovers that the mercury filling in Fry''s tooth picks up and transmits some strange sort of radio signal.

Comme chacun le sait, nul ne peut se mesurer à Homer Simpson en matière de fainéantise, de resquillage, de glandage éhonté au boulot et d''inaptitude généralisée à tout ce qui peut s''apparenter à une quelconque responsabilité. Voilà pourquoi nous lui avons confié la rédaction de ce Livre de la paresse. « Quand les éditeurs m''ont demandé d''écrire ce bouquin, déclare Homer dans la préface, ils m''ont dit qu''ils avaient besoin d''un gros plein de soupe apathique avec un sens moral extrêmement bas et un quotient léthargique élevé, et ça m''a plu. » Écrit, donc, par Homer en personne, voici un Guide de la paresse façon Simpson, où vous découvrirez les 20 types de paresseux qu''on croise de nos jours, des textos encore plus abrégés pour flemmards du SMS, des cadeaux de dernière minute pour ceux qui n''aiment pas faire les courses, comment customiser votre canapé pour ne manquer de rien quand vous êtes vautré devant la télé, un test permettant de savoir si vous êtes un vrai cossard et des autocollants façon Homer pour proclamer votre paresse à la face du monde. Le premier d''une nouvelle série de livres-collector Simpson, accompagné de nombreux suppléments détachables : autocollants, post-it, peintures de Marge Simpson, mots d''excuses, dépliants, posters, livrets de comics...
