Most Bad-Ass casa in SA

Here's the gist-

Ive been working with a small art lighting company and need your input on which one of the following photos we should submit for mags and such. These pics are from one of the most recent pieces we've installed and the second for home owners Tom and Chris of Terrell Heights. Their home was featured in the local paper last year for being Bad-Ass, I agree. So my peeps, let me know what you think, I'll throw some photoshop at them later.

Sasha Barr
A very talented graphic designer who I have been following for a while now. His minimalist style coupled with a penchant for hand made screen prints make him a potent force in the gig poster scene. Check out his portfolio for some stellar examples.

This is a response to a previous email sent out by mr. rutledge about the opportunity to use this community we have gathered here to create and design. I am aware that many of us are busy, especially those that are going to be graduating into unemployment soon, but we should begin preparations to work together on any design competition that may interest us. The point of this blog is to not only share but also to produce. Here is a great example of what we should aspire to be better then. So please comment, add ideas, and peruse this site so that we can begin turning the gears of this operation.

Holcim Awards Competition

Holcim Awards Competition
This is a really sweet competition that has been held for a couple of years now. Contestants submit ideas for new sustainable construction projects in different regions of the world. The open-ended nature of the competition makes for a myriad of entries ranging from the typical to the atypical. One of the gems contained within is the student project submitted by Magnus Larsson. Head over to BLDGBLOG for an extensive article on the implications of a unified desert barrier composed of structured sand.

The Holcim Awards is an international competition of the Holcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction. The competition celebrates innovative, future-oriented and tangible sustainable construction projects and visions from around the globe and provides prize money of USD 2 million per three-year competition cycle.

Magnus Larsson's project: "Dune anti-desertification architecture, Sokoto, Nigeria"
