WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU COMBINE A GARDEN, A MEADOW, AND A HILL?

The Meera House isn't merely a house (give us a break about this pun – it’s Friday). It's also a garden, a meadow and a hill where the residents can take in the views and relax. Located in a housing estate on the island of Sentosa adjacent to Singapore, the breezy home, which was designed by Guz Architects, has lush vegetation on every level, including a sweeping green roof that blankets its curvy form.

TakePlace was made with you in mind It's about ideas and innovation, creative perspectives, and solutions. We're advocates for change, because change needs friends. We explore complex systems, adaptive agents, modeling, simulation, artificial life, and complex (information, biological, and social) networks. We especially focus on the Web as a complex information network in which we leave abundant traces of our social and semantic activities: what we do, what we are interested in, whom we talk to, what knowledge we acquire and contribute. Our research spans from modeling the dynamic processes that occur on the Web (how information networks grow and evolve, how individual and collective traffic patterns emerge, how attention bursts are generated and shaped by social and search tools) to designing tools that mine the Web to build better search, navigation, management, and recommendation tools (where ‘better’ means more intelligent, autonomous, robust, personalized, contextual, scalable, adaptive, and so on).
