Temporary Llove Hotel by Tokyo Designers Week 2010

Bizarre, nasty, clean, crazy, rough, colorful, neutral, playful, boring, funny, interesting... and much much more is what this hotel is offering. If Tokyo Designers Week 2010 were looking for publicity obviously this is one of the best ones I have ever seen. Its not a supermegastar architect doing a whole floor of a hotel... This is a 1 room uniqueness, each single room doesn't have anything to do with any of the other and you can indeed spend the night there but for a short period of time as it will disappear after the Designers Week. Also the fact that is pure Chaos makes this insubstantial building much much more appealing and interesting.

Black Pearl Residence by Rolf.fr and Zecc Architecten

Even though this has more to do with interior design than architecture I have to say that I found here some radical approaches that are remarkable... For instance the way limits are diluted but keeping the original structure of the facade and at the same time contrast has been enhanced with the rest of  buildings around. Rough materials are everywhere but there is some clean wave around the bulding, distribution is uneven and it is seriously hard to tell if there are different spaces or everything is continuous (to me both things at the same time). This is one of my touché exceptions of interior design. I wish I could see more of these approaches in architecture.

Daylight Entrance by Daniel Rybakken

If you look the first pictures you are not looking what you think you are looking... There is no window anywhere and the light you see it is not natural it's artificial.

Easy to guess why is posted here... Really realistic, it makes you feel as if you where looking to the light path of a window so it seems like true daylight. The light is made using LED panels that simulate light  casting trough windows. The last picture is how the stairs looked before the LED panels were installed.

By the way, you should surf this guys web because he has some neat things... And he has a lot of light control with some interesting ideas going on.

So you need a typeface by Julian Hansen

Nice job on this one...  We are always looking for the best typography to use in each project, and this could be a simplified solution to the problem depending in our needs. Check her portfolio too: Julian Hansen

Mirror Man

I know this post its absurd. But its fun to see someone dress like a reflective mirror sculpture...
