LOOK THROUGH

Here'a a building where spatial and functional qualities result in a light, sustainable and dynamic whole, creating a "gate" effect, where you look through the building rather than at it. From the ground floor, in this Centre for Life Sciences, arises a zoology wing connected with the animal housing; the south wing is dedicated to botany.   

Light from above through the open ares and views of the sky connect the interiors with the outside world.I would look if i saw something like this, wouldn't you?

TRIANGLES & ANGLES

Embroidery is the art of decorating a cloth by sewing patterns on any surface with needles, thread and yarn.

Simply genius in a very creative way.

 Love the triangle madness on this one !!

SHOW IT OFF !!

Here's a sculptural gallery located on the Dong Jiang Bay Coastline with three main spaces that coexist into a coastal showcase: a tourist information center, a show gallery & a discussion lounge. 

Tectonically this "artsy" building (at least for me, it is) not only beautiful, but responds to its setting with weather-sensitive corten steel panels on the outside and timber strips on the inside to create a more natural feel.

 ♥ TYPO 

Typographic elements act as the bookends, making simplicity the key elements of this trendy bookshelf made of recyclable ABS plastic. Interesting aid for those loving how industrial design can prove art meets functionality.

JUST A LIL' BIT OF ART:

[ brainwash ]

[ design / miami ]

[ wynwood arts district ] 

[ art basel @ convention center ]

[ NADA Art Fair ]

Art Basel Miami Beach. This is probably my favorite week of the year; a week where art meets time and space in Miami. Here I showed some pictures of what i saw, but there was so much more. Some eye candy for you to visit next year. Hope you enjoyed them. 

LONG LIVE ART . ART . ART

PALLETS

Think about this: a flexible low cost building which is made of 800 euro-paletts. Pallets are used for standardized means of transportation; you can buy them all over the world. Using this material as tectonics for a structure, 

simply genius !!

STACK IT UP, UP, UP !

A clear solution: stacked villas.

 This building combines the advantages of privacy, outdoor gardens and the boundless views that a single residential home offers with the low economic and maintenance costs of an apartment.

ENJOY THE SHOW !

Here's a building with a strong identity. In order to make it noticeable among its surroundings they designed a facade that appears like a pixelized picture of the trees, creating a dramatic screen along the street.
