Seoul

2014 Asian Games Stadium; Yeonhui-dong, Seo-gu, Incheon

Hello all...Not sure who is aware but a quick update:

Last week I moved to Seoul, Korea for a job with Heerim Architects & Planners. The firm is an extremely large office, though I have the benefit in working within the design competition studio. The studio is made up of 8 people and one director. I am not allowed to disclose contents about our current project, though if we win it will be great exposure! (My design studio has won the last 5 out of 8 submitted!!)The studio operates similarly to an educational studio. All the designers make a proposal and then decisions are quickly made to begin working on the final competition submittal. Its fast paced, full of energy, and a great group of designers.
Cheers!

ANGIOGENESIS NETWORKING

Scale-Free Networks within Angiogenesis: A Non-linear Biology Study
By Jeff S Nesbit, Shuni Feng, and Josh Freese

This past year I had been working with the LabStudio (Jenny Sabin & Peter Lloyd Jones) group at the University of Pennsylvania's Institute of Medical Engineering. The work is commissioned to develop a higher level of understanding about cell lung research within a 3D, mircro-tectonic world. The project was exhibited at the Klein Gallery in Philadelphia last month and will soon receive exposure within two different publications. These images are snapshots of a larger set of complex system of 'cell' to 'cell' and 'cell' to 'extracellularmatrix/environment' relationships. The relationships are based on a strict rule set developed from the analysis of angiogenesis.

Transformative Thresholds

Hunter's Point South is a massive urban project that must respond to a wide variety of problems such as social, economical, and ecological conditions. The proposed scheme is based from a conceptual transformative system that allows for a series of expansions and compressions. This approach gives us the ability to systematically program social and ecological variations and exemplify the interaction between "ground" and "building". A primary elevated swath divides the master scheme to support different public and private agendas. Edges matter. The Newtown Creek edge is softened by passive landscapes and slow pedestrian and bike traffic while the heavy water currents of East River make for a hard edge tolerating more active landscapes.

It's not the cover, but it'll do.

I don't know why this is the picture they chose, the others you saw a while back were much better , I thought. But whatever. So Hospitality Design did a designers profile on Mike, and it would seem they liked my light. It didn't make the cover of the magazine but I think it ended up on one of the most tastiest pages. Dont worry It's not a one stop shop, we got some more coming out soon, including a couple of lights that use some Luminex fiber optic fabric, IT'S GONNA BE SUPER MOTHER LOVIN DUPER. Oh, and That same light also got featured in the latest Eco-Structures magazine. I'm still waiting for my copy, but when it comes in I'll put it up on the 4401 for yall to see, fo sho.

junktion

If I had the time I would be all over making junk into useful stuff! This idea has been one of my childhood dreams! Making cool, fun, silly useful stuff out of junk - my first project in architectonics was centered on this concept - though it ended up being a cereal box collage due to time constraints... Hooray junk - it reminds me of 3rd grade and movies where kids make their tree fort and equipment out of bicycyle parts, found junk, etc. that becomes simple machines and useful parts of the fort. The bike seat stools are totally cool! Some of the creations are silly/campy but also retain a neat enough solution that they are fun.

The Beatles Rock Band

I think I have watched this thing about 20 times and still does not fail to impress. Regardless if you like playing with plastic instruments in your living room, you will enjoy this video. You should also be familiar with the work of Pete Candeland from Passion Pictures if you ahve ever watched a Gorillaz video.

Good Magazine

Good Magazine

I found this group off of NOTCOT and was first attracted to their series of infographics made through a collaboration with many varied designers. After I tore through the flickr account, i followed the link back to the main site and boy did I find a jackpot. Good is a collection of topical information all contained within beautiful packaging.

GOOD is a collaboration of individuals, businesses, and nonprofits pushing the world forward.
Since 2006 we've been making a magazine, videos, and events for people who give a damn.
This website is an ongoing exploration of what GOOD is and what it can be.

Kate Gibb - HUCK - If You Could

Kate Gibb in her studio
If you Could : 'I'd See the World Symetrically'
WTF HUCK?

About a year ago I was rummaging the internet and stumbled upon this site IfYouCould and purchased the above sweet limited edition print by Kate Gibb. Stumbling around the internet again looking for more of her work, HUCK popped up. Huck has a tight collection of art, culture, music etc. It's chocked full of cool interviews, artwork, style and blogs ... Kate Gibb Check it - its full of cool stuff - I didn't see an architecture part of the site but some of the art was rather sculptural...maybe they need some peeps to write for them?
