The Rubik’s Cube In A Nutshell Background Rubik’s cube is a toy puzzle designed by Ernö Rubik during the mid- 1970s. It is a cube- shaped toy consisting of smaller cube pieces, called “cubies” with 6 faces possessing contrasting colors. This rather primitive-looking phenomenon was exceptionally popular during the 1980s, and peaking 1980 and 1983 with around 200 million cubes sold worldwide. Even today sales continue to exceed 500,000 sales worldwide each year, consequently earning the title “the best-selling toy of all time”.

I carry a Rubik’s Cube in my backpack. Solving it quickly is a terrific conversation starter and surprisingly impressive to girls. I’ve been asked to solve the cube on the New York City subway, at a track meet in Westchester and at a café in Paris. I usually ask people to try it first. They turn the cube over in their hands, half-heartedly they make a few moves and then sheepishly hand it back. They don’t even know where to begin. That’s exactly what it was like for me to learn how to read.…
My idea for this assignment is to use the “Architectural Origami” technique to show the relationship between the 2D & 3D patterns that appeared on the corner between two walls at the stairs way close to the first floor. The “Architectural Origami” technique is a technique that uses cutting and folding of a piece of paper to create the Architectural forms. The basic pattern that I used in this assignment are cuboid and cube. For the 3D patterns, I used a 22’’*30’’ Bristol board to make a…
RGM Reflection My Rube Goldberg Machine is the PROTOTYPE-SR213. It accomplishes the simple task of lifting a cup.

influential agents were Ice Cube, the birth control pill, and women’s suffrage. What ties these 3 are the stereotypes that were created for them and how they changed them. Hip hop emerged in the late 1970’s and was developed by the lower income districts, mainly within the African American and Hispanic communities (History of Hip Hop 1). Rap was an outlet that many rappers used to voice their opinions. One of the many rappers that made a difference in society was O’Shea Jackson better known as…
