Great Business Model or just a Great Space?

This temporary (1 year) shop for e-types is located in Copenhagen, and is a physical space to buy fonts... An interesting concept... At first, it seems like a strange idea for a shop (doesn't everyone buy their fonts online?!?). But, when you think of the shop as a designer's destination, I'm sure it will be fairly successful!

Lucinahaven

Although most of my practice is residential, I am always drawn to light-filled colorful schools like here and here... so it is no surprise that this school by CEBR caught my eye.

However, with this project I find myself liking the idea more than the execution. The interiors are really lovely and bright, but the exteriors are a bit too busy for my taste. The hive idea is taken very literally and the wide variety of color seems overkill. But still, I am sure the kids love it and really... isn't that the point?

Philipp Klinger

I love Philipp Klinger's sense of positive/negative space and pattern... His photos really are fantastic...

Love Tree

A friend of mine from school is living in Chicago and maintaining his long distance relationship with his girlfriend in Coimbra, Portugal. They are both totally stylish and talented, so I'm not surprised that they decided to take advantage of their environment to proclaim their love. Painted on the stone by a tree below her apartment, I'm sure this Love Tree brings a smile to her face every day.

Whites and Brights

I love the interior design/decorating of this Naseem Alizadeh's home office. The bright bold colors keep the white from being too precious.

Just lovely.

John Pawson Sketches

I love the quality of John Pawson's sketches... I wonder if he does them himself or if these can be attributed to someone else in his office. Usurping sketches seems common practice for some of the big-time architects... I know that Rem's books are full of sketches that employees have done. Still, I'd like to think that Pawson drew these himself.... after all, the minimal quality of the sketches seems to fit with his minimal architectural aesthetic.

Inglorious Basterds

Some very cool posters created to help raise funds for Haiti (not what you immediately think of, when Inglorious Basterds comes to mind)... Very cool artwork, cool movie, great cause.

Isn't that a soap opera?

My favorite shots are the ones where you can see the artist in the background.
