Nucleo

The term 'pod' resonates almost as powerfully as 'shed' and there's almost certainly enough material for a spinoff site about podworking. The latest shedlike atmosphere/pod is Nucleo, an internal meeting space for small groups of folk, by Stefano Alberti who says:

"Il progetto vede la realizzazione di cellule destinate ad accogliere piccoli gruppi di persone in ambienti interni ed esterni."

What I find interesting is that these curved designs seem to be becoming more popular.
