something small

Found this while looking through small magazine – a publication for kids cooler than I am.

It’s affiliated with the independent fashion shop littlebean. The photographer is Steve Visneau with sisterbrother mgmt. [link | link]

can’t put my finger on it – something sublime and exquisite…

nervous system

slide bars and rotate dials to design your own jewelry – the price updates on the fly and the piece can be rendered in polygonal or “smoothed preview”. The interface is developed in programing – definitely worth a look.

In an age of choice anxiety, somehow this gives you the ability to massage the item and gives you exactly what you want, without the overwhelming experience of seeing every option rendered out in its entirety – brilliant.

epistemology

Philosophy seems like an important part of the Architectural education – both Greg Lynn and Joshua Prince-Ramus both have degrees in philosophy (among others, I am sure). It seems to inform some of the best work.

If you are looking for a good source for clarification, when wikipedia just doesn’t cut it – check out the plato server at Stanford. It has a topical index that covers just about anything you want to know – even the things you didn’t know you wanted to know, that is, if we can know…you know?

AA Video Archive

If you get a chance, check out the video archive over at the AA. It includes all sorts of lectures coming out of the AA (for what its worth), including this video of Kipnis, Schumacher, Eric Owen Moss, Brett Steel and Zaha, among others.

Back.

Its been a long time since I have posted. I am five tests down and two to go (one on Monday) all passed thus far. That and three or so months of CA and I will be licensed. Finally…no seriously…

Anyway, that’s my excuse, and I am sticking too it. Not that licensure the end all, nor does it really make a difference – unless you don’t have it.

I have work/research to put up and hopefully some competition work that can be shown that is not secretive/proprietary/or whatever.

Therefore, I will be (conservatively) expanding the content range of the posts to include work a bit more peripheral to Architecture, but valid none the less. More to follow…
