Wieden + Kennedy London's latest campaign for Honda, titled The Experiment, is an online game that asks players to create a chain reaction on screen by placing a set of pop-up windows in the correct sequence...

The campaign is reminiscent of the Honda Cog ad from 2003, where a series of car parts were used to create a giant Rube Goldberg-esque chain reaction, to emphasise the complex engineering inside the Honda Accord. Here, the audience become the engineers, and are encouraged to experiment with moving the pop-ups around the screen until the correct chain is achieved. The film below shows how it works:

There are six levels to the game, and when these are completed, players get the opportunity to create their own chains to challenge their friends with. The game is best played using either Google Chrome, Firefox or Safari browsers, and was created in collaboration with B-Reel, the production company behind the Wilderness Downtown site for Arcade Fire, which also had fun with pop-ups.
Play the game at experimentgame.com, or find out more about it on the Honda blog here. And if you want to find out more about how the campaign was made, simply watch the making-of film below:

An Architect’s Dress code (Revised 9-12-11)

Employees contribute to the culture and reputation of the SVEHN JØSSANG ATELJE in the way they present themselves. An Architectural appearance is essential to a favorable impression with clients, and company shareholders (ie. Svehn). Good grooming and appropriate dress should reflect an employee’s confidence in his/her aesthetic convictions and inspire others to realize that they are dressed unimaginatively. An Architect’s attire should be minimal yet condescending at the same time.

Managers may exercise good discretion to determine appropriateness in appearance. Architects who do not meet a professional standard may be mocked and sent home to change. Some basic essentials of appropriate dress include the wearing of black and the need for clothing to be neat, clean, and expensive. Note: at no time will an employee be permitted to remove his or her “air of superiority”.

Management may make exceptions for special occasions (ie. An employee is exceptionally attractive, or has especially “fit” ankles). An employee unsure of what is appropriate should check with Svehn. (Please close the door behind you).

Architectural casual dress will be permitted on Fridays. “Architectural casual” is defined as follows:

Acceptable shirts: Black shirts, Black turtlenecks, Black T-shirts, Black long sleeve T-shirts, Black tunics.

Inappropriate shirts: White T-shirts, shirts with slogans, tank tops, muscle shirts, crop tops, Plaid shirts, Striped shirts, shirts with patterns or mixed-patterns, anything with  flower prints, or birds or lighthouses on it, non-black color, neon, hairshirts, anything with a visible logo or label, anything that brings to mind the word “polo”.

Acceptable Pants: Black slacks, Black Jeans, Prada.

Inappropriate pants: Shorts, trousers, tights, Khakis, pleats, double pleats, triple pleats, anything with more than 4 pockets, polyester, Eddie Bauer.

Acceptable Footwear: Black boots, black leather “minimally designed” shoes. Depending on the department, Black athletic shoes may be worn on the annual company hiking day.

Inappropriate footwear: Brown leather, tassels, loafers, penny loafers, Sandals, crocs, clogs, flip-flops, any footwear appropriate for the yacht, should remain on the yacht, Architects do not design yachts.

Acceptable eyewear: Black-rimmed-round glasses, Black-rectangular-framed glasses (if you must).

Inappropriate eyewear: Colored frames, Tortoise shell, 20/20 vision.

Acceptable bag: Black messenger-bag.

Inappropriate bag: any bag except a black messenger bag.

Acceptable hair color: Bald, grey, white, clear.

Inappropriate hair color: Blond or, optimistic.

Acceptable fragrance or aroma: Indistinct, not unpleasant, or French roast.

Inappropriate fragrance or aroma: fear.

An Architect’s attire should incite one of the following acceptable emotions: Angst, ennui, malaise, ensomhet, disinterest, simplicity, arrogance.

An Architect’s attire should NOT incite any of the following emotions: Happiness, relevance.

Svehn’s personal assistants may require additional guidelines. Architects who need to leave work to change clothes for meetings will take personal time or vacation time to do so. If you are meeting clients, business dress is appropriate, and you should remain quiet. These policies may be changed as the fashions change.

In conclusion: An Architect’s attire should tell you nothing about them, while at the same time, it should tell you everything about them, although, they probably won’t understand

When Christian Schallert isn't cooking, dressing, sleeping or eating, his 24 square meter (258 square feet) apartment looks like an empty cube. To use a piece of furniture, he has to build it.

Located in Barcelona's hip Born district, the tiny apartment is a remodeled pigeon loft. Christian says its design was inspired by the space-saving furniture aboard boats, as well as the clean lines of a small Japanese home.
