A little something from My Teacher



So having studied Graphical Design and Industrial Design, and always following up on as much as I can from my professors. I found out one of my very loved (Scott Wilson) mentors helped in creative design of the X-Box Kinect.

Single Family Home in Varna




The Architecture Group Dizarh a single family home, and to my knowledge, without a name, to blend in with the wooded area is was built in. It's quite refreshing to see this type of building as opposed to my ever-so-loving box homes.

Boh Tea Centre





This Tea Center is great. It's long and overhanging (I like this quality in architecture :), with a tremendously gorgeous view. The ZLG design group really worked well on this one.

Let's Take it Back to 1975



Here is a small series of stamps created by Israeli designer Eliezer Weishoff in about 1975. It's a great piece of graphical design, with in which if I were buying stamps would love to have these. I wish more graphic designers would do this (come to think of it, maybe I'll try my hand in making them. :)
BTW these stamps also talk about the environmental problems and hazards almost everyone endures everyday. And with a little bit of home, shows a bit of a better solution or care to the problem.

Damiano House




This home was created by the Tres Birds Workshop, for the Damianos'. When conceptualizing this project, the Damianos' wished for a home that would surpass 400 years of life. Now I don't know if it will stand that long, but I am sure as eco-friendly as it is (It runs on full support of Solar energe, even though it's in Colorado, and they family is a winter loving family) it will last their lifetime.

Novartis Campus




Though done by various architects, some of whom are Frank Gehry, Peter Maerkli, and SANAA, this campus feels like a whole. If I were to get my PHD somewhere it would probably be here, thought I've never though to check if they offer anything I would enjoy :)

Barcode House




Located in Munich Germany, this residential house by the MVRDV Architectural group is set up on 2 lots. Its like most box houses in which the structure is squarish but then its protrusions, subtle angles and composition allow it to acquire it's own shape and character. I do love the manner in which box houses always extend beyond its format, including their selective material use/positioning and colour.
