Researching Mid-Century furniture as inspiration for facade systems…has resulted in a torturous yearning for all of these pieces. I guess we’ll just have to try and design facades that people will ogle at 50 years into the future.

Currently studying wall sections of a few buildings, I can’t help but think that (at least from my own experience), students look at images but don’t quite see architecture. I remember reading about this building numerous times, and immediately thinking, “Yeah I get it.” But when it comes to designing a facade in section, and looking to the same buildings for advice, they take on a completely new meaning.

Wasteland – Digital Illustration Series by Atelier Olschinsky, via weandthecolor.com

The new series by AO maintains the captive nature of their work, carving out an illustration niche where representation, geometery, and surrealism work complementarily to depict dense scenes from a detached vantage point. They’re also one of the few digital art practices that have created a distinguishable identity based solely on technique. Awesome work.

Scales that wrap the Barclays making up it’s mono-material skin, they age, crack, discolor, and warp, and in all their imperfection, are the singular component that prevent the structure from looking like a hulkish monster hovering over the intersection.

Whatever, bro. Tell it to the whales.

World War Z, by Max Brooks

Hands down, the best line of the book. 


Dumbo Kitchen ceiling, equal parts rococco ornament, heavy-handed fabrication, and optimized mass-production.

Trying to figure out the feasibility of using a similar lighting system, only for a learning center instead of a museum. Experimental lighting somehow seems less daunting for ambiguous programming than it does for a shared workspace.


Travelogues, via Diller Scofidio + Renfro

Working on a plan-centric project, the x-ray image [the Travelogues imagery in particular] came to mind as an alternative to the plan drawing. While the plan can accurately depict scale, proportion, organization, and relations, the augmentation of the plan through x-ray-like representation allows for the inclusion of movement, scenarios, and a level of subjectivity that can portray a space in a different, and albeit more valid fashion.
