Technological breakthroughs are usually as much revelations as revolutions, satisfying powerful latent demands. Twentieth-century people embraced mobility, economy, lightness, spontaneity, rapid feedback and sharing with friends and family. Supplanting earlier miniature cameras, the 21st-century cell phone camera has delivered all those qualities. Like the Polaroid and the cheap film camera, it offers a distinctive look that appeals even to some professionals. And it has also amplified anxieties about photography: security, privacy, and intellectual property.

Chop Stick, created by the Swedish architecture duo visiondivision, provides visitors to 100 Acres a place to sit, swing, and enjoy refreshments in an outdoor pavilion crafted almost entirely from a single tree. The 100-foot-tall tulip tree—the state tree of Indiana—was found in a forest near Anderson, Indiana, and transported to 100 Acres with a large portion of its limbs intact. The design for Chop Stick revolves around the architects' ambition to harvest a material as gently and thoughtfully as possible.

Visiondivision is a Stockholm-based architecture firm founded in 2005 by Anders Berensson and Ulf Mejergren. They have completed numerous projects throughout Sweden, as well as in The Netherlands, Mexico, and Argentina. Visiondivision's diverse practice merges architecture and design to provide highly imaginative solutions for a wide range of clients.
