The ‘Ring House‘ (300 km outside of Tokyo) by TNA Architects, was this years winner in the annual Wallpaper* Design Awards in the category ‘Best new private house’.

azul eléctrico - Didden Village

"The first realization in MVRDV’s home town Rotterdam will be a rooftop house extension. On top of an existing monumental house and atelier, the bedrooms are positioned as separate houses, optimizing the privacy of every member of the family. The houses are distributed in such a way that a series of plazas, streets and alleys appear as a mini-village on top of the building.
Parapet walls with windows surround the new village. Trees, tables, open-air showers and benches are added, optimizing the rooftop life. By finishing all elements with a blue poly-urethane coating a new “heaven” appears. It creates a crown on top of the monument.The addition can be seen as a prototype for a further densification of the old and existing city. It adds a roof life to the city. It explores the costs for the beams, infrastructure, and extra finishes, and it ultimately aims to be lower than the equivalent ground price." (texto do site designws.com)

O meu reflexo e a Holga, Abril 2008

e a grande surpresa...

esta é a minha preferida de todo o rolo... (desculpa filipa, foi a única foto de jeito que tirei da tua festa de anos)

A Agfa gosta mais do ar livre

Levei a Agfa ao Mercado Negro em Aveiro... a luz do fim do dia, as salas e os espelhos lembram-me o livro "Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There", mas não a deixei absorver a luz necessária - resultado: alguns candeeiros suspensos no escuro... Ficam estas, ao ar livre, como prémio de consolação...

I Know Where the Summer Goes

I Know Where the Summer Goes
Ryan McGinley

Team Gallery
April 3rd – May 3rd 2008

"The title of this exhibition, taken from an early B-side by Belle & Sebastian, is more than just a piece of poetic musing. McGinley does, in fact, know where his summers go. In the summer of 2007, for example, he traversed the United States with sixteen models and three assistants, shooting 4,000 rolls of film. From the resulting 150,000 photographs, he arduously narrowed down the body of work to some fifty images, the best of which are on display here at the gallery.

The inspirational images for the project were culled from the kinds of amateur photography that appeared in nudist magazines during the 60s and early 70s. McGinley would sit with his models and look through all of the ephemera of the period that he had collected, discussing with them the mood that he was hoping to capture that day. McGinley had chosen a very specific itinerary that would bring his troop through the incredible range of landscapes that are available across the US and carefully planned a battery of activities, sometimes orchestrating the use of special effects. He has always been quite fond of fireworks and fog machines and in this new work they play a major role."

LED's amigos do ambiente

"Powered by the sun, moved by the wind"

Wind-lit: Solar

Yoshihiro Shimomura

"The light is composed of a glass, bell-shaped, vessel, that holds the LED light, circuitry, and solar panel. Wax holds the electronics inside the glass vessel and disperses the emitting light. Paper is suspended from the center of the circuitry, and as the strip of paper is blown, the light turns on. The light will burn depending on the weather that day – more sun charges the battery longer and stronger winds keep it on." (artigo publicado em Inhabitat, ver mais aqui)

Biblioteca feita de escadas

"London-based Levitate Architects came up with this ingenious solution to a book storage problem and created a loft-like bedroom nestled under the roof of the top-floor apartment. Here's what Levitate's Tim Sloan had to say about the project:
The flat occupies part of the shared top floor of an existing Victorian mansion block. Our proposal extended the flat into the unused loft space above, creating a new bedroom level and increasing the floor area of the flat by approximately one third. We created a 'secret' staircase, hidden from the main reception room, to access a new loft bedroom lit by roof lights. Limited by space, we melded the idea of a staircase with our client's desire for a library to form a 'library staircase' in which English oak stair treads and shelves are both completely lined with books. With a skylight above lighting the staircase, it becomes the perfect place to stop and browse a tome. The stair structure was designed as an upside down 'sedan chair' structure (with Rodrigues Associates, Structural Engineers, London) that carries the whole weight of the stair and books back to the main structural walls of the building. It dangles from the upper floor thereby avoiding any complicated neighbour issues with the floors below."
