Architects Miguil Arraiz Garcia and David Moreno Terron designed and assembled this cardboard pavilion for the ‘Fallas’ festival in Spain. 3000 hexagonal boxes were glued and filled with earth to help anchor it to the plaza. The fear I had for it is shown at the end of the video… but on purpose. Fun, sculptural study. Take a look.

Today we install this custom sliding door! A steel frame is sandwiched with etched colored glass. Jim our client (he and his wife are the nicest people by the way!) builds recumbent bicycles and helped with the system to fasten the glass. It was scary assembling the door but I think it turned out great! Take a look.
Some of these are pretty cool. Love the thought process and ingenuity that people have with some of these designs. Really cool table at the 55 second mark.

Solabode is “a company dedicated to the development and promotion of experimental building design for human occupation and use.” These guys are having fun trying out many different materials and ideas in shaping shelter. The video below shows them using wood pallets and other salvaged material to create a small, one-room cabin.

This cool experiment by artist Melanie Hoff shows what a little electricity can do to plywood. Well, maybe not a little -how about 15,000 volts. It’s mesmerizing to watch and interesting that the path of the electricity creates root-like burns. I can certainly see this as an accent wall piece in a project!

I wish I had something like this… wait, I do! It is fun to look back and see what was anticipated in our future. Not unlike Captain Kirk’s tricorder which evolved into our cell phones, the ‘office of tomorrow’ had some good guesses.
Thought I would share a walk to my office after a beautiful snowfall overnight.

Kudos to local craftsman Brian Grabski for creating this fun mechanism that opens a hidden drawer. I love this kind of stuff! This whole video was shot with an iPhone to get into the tight spaces. See more of Brian’s work at Designed & Made Custom Woodworking.

Ombuarchitecture put together this video (alphabetically) of well-known architects and a signature building project. I was disappointed that I was not listed under ‘H’…. Maybe next year!

Fascinating video reminiscing on the space age impact on architecture. 1950’s California diners led the way. Googie Architecture is the term coined for this ‘Futurism through Modernism’ movement. Take a look!

‘Dynarchitecture'(dynamic architecture) – yes, I just made that up – is the mix of technology and architecture that allows a space to be transformed by the push of a button. This theater was created for the 2012 Yeosu EXPO in Korea by the Hyundai Motor Group. The walls are built with moving cubes that truly become the theater’s main performance.
