Archipelagoes: How much space does one family need?
http://archipelagoes.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-much-space-does-one-family-need.html
How much space does one family need? I'm pretty sure that the family of Mukesh Ambani will never complain that they "need more space", since their new house has been built in Mumbai. The house has 27 stories, a height of 173 metres and about 37.000 square metres of floor space. Among others, it contains a car park for 160 vehicles, a cinema with 50 places, a ballroom, at least one swimming pool, several helicopter landing pads, a health club, a dance studio. and many more rooms.

Archipelagoes: An open source penis
http://archipelagoes.blogspot.com/2010/07/open-source-penis.html
An open source penis. Open source is a great ideal. However, thus far it has hardly been implemented for objects that are actually needed. Take prosthetics, for instance. They are currently mainly commercial and insanely expensive. Open Prosthetics. Is aiming to make prostetics more readily available by means of open source. This was the starting question for Sputniko! Urging her to design an open source prosthetics to satisfy her own personal curiosity. She asked herself the question. The worst of perth.

Archipelagoes: Almost the longest exposure
http://archipelagoes.blogspot.com/2010/08/almost-longest-exposure.html
Almost the longest exposure. Making a pinhole camera. Can be pretty simple. But still, it can generate some astonishing images. Like the image above. It's made by Justin Quinell. By means of a pin hole camera, and it documents the traces of the sun over the suspension bridge in Bristol over a six month period of time. That gives this image an exposure time of half a year! And the result is duely impressive: there's so much detail and subtlety in the image, and that without a complex and expensive camera!

Archipelagoes: OFF!
http://archipelagoes.blogspot.com/2010/10/off.html
It's safe to say that Keith Morris is a hardcore punk legend. In my eyes he was the best singer Black Flag ever had. The most pissed off aggression fitting to the music (just listen to Nervous Breakdown, the vocals just fit). And after that, he founded Circle Jerks, with whom he also made some great (or shall I say legendary) records, like "Group Sex" or "Wild in the Streets" for instance. And now he's 55 and he's back with a new band, called OFF! F=67&t=721 ]Hostgator coupon codes[/url].

Archipelagoes: Liricas Analas
http://archipelagoes.blogspot.com/2010/08/liricas-analas.html
I like architecture. And I like slightly crappy hip-hop music. When the two collide, it's even better: like in this music video for the song called "Siemis", where the Swiss rappers of Liricas Analas. Rap their way through the world famous Therme Vals. Other than a slightly weird video, Liricas Analas (from the Graubünden region in Switzerland) is also quite remarkable because they rap in the Romansh language. For hottest news you have to pay a visit world-wide-web and on. My web blog; helpful hints.

Archipelagoes: Prinzessinnengarten
http://archipelagoes.blogspot.com/2010/08/prinzessinnengarten.html
Urban agriculture can mean a lot for a city population. Not only can it provide local food, but it can also create a social landscape in a city. In Berlin does exactly that. Since 2009, a collective called "Nomadic Green". Prinzessinnengarten is launched as a pilot project by Nomadic Green, so let's hope that there are many more projects to follow. By them, but also by people that are inspired by their acts. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Subscribe in a reader.

Archipelagoes: Minimalist house
http://archipelagoes.blogspot.com/2010/07/minimalist-house.html
For many designers, the words by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe still ring true: they design by the adagium "Less is more". Mostly, I'd prefer to use Mae West as my source, and design with the thought "Too much of a good thing is wonderful" in my mind. That does not mean that I cannot value the clean simplicity of a minimalistic approach. Take the Minimalist house by Shinichi Ogawa and Associates. The entire house is laid out on a 3 meter-grid, in three dimensions. I found this project on dezeen.com.

Archipelagoes: Figuring out the hidden meaning of stock photos
http://archipelagoes.blogspot.com/2010/10/figuring-out-hidden-meaning-of-stock.html
Figuring out the hidden meaning of stock photos. Lily and Peter were supposed to have a romantic night in, but Peter and a few coworkers went out for happy hour drinks. Peter got drunk, missed dinner, and passed out on the couch. This actually happens all the time, and Lily is pretty understanding. She’s crying about the ending of Toy Story 3, which they saw four weeks ago.". Has done so, too: he imagines the stories behind stockphotos he found of couples fighting.
