Architecture and design has always been defined in terms of space, but now, more than ever, it is also being defined by time. Ways of living are rapidly evolving. Being driven by the onward march of technology and globalisation, architects and designers are constantly finding themselves faced with increasingly challenging and demanding horizons. Spaces 9 brings together a collection of the most innovative and creative projects that showcase how the best architects of the day are coming to terms with these new challenges, and creating spaces that combine functionality, form, and aesthetic.
In this story, set sometime in the future, Varon, an intergalactic pirate, manages to steal one of the most valuable items in the universe. When he becomes trapped, Omega offers his help but he has his own reasons for doing so.

John and Nicky have never eaten spaghetti and would give anything for the occasional bowl of chips or piece of chocolate cake. But they live with their rather strange and grumpy aunt who insists upon the most uncompromising of health food diets.
