65 Modern Proverbs
“This coptic bound book is an expansion of Rebuilding Expressions. I wanted to capture the zeitgeist of today’s western mentality with these revised expressions. Originally, I created approximately 40 expressions that I had to reduce to 26 for the alphabet. I wanted to use them all and create more to make a book. Sixty-five modern proverbs have been split into 7 categories.”

This&That
December 15, 2009 · Leave a Comment
I saw a shop last week here in Paris that displayed a series of these glass bells on the window and I was quite intrigued by them. Later during the week I found out that they are part of a collection entitled This&That that was created by artists at Fabrica from an idea by American designer Tak Cheung to be displayed at the Milan International Furniture Show 2009. The objects are produced by Secondome and combine everyday elements with the sophisticated blow glass to create something different and exciting. They clearly managed to get my attention.

Nagakin Capsule Tower
December 13, 2009 · Leave a Comment
The Nakagin Capsule Tower in Tokio built in 1972 are being voted for destruction, a couple of years back I did a project that used this building as inspiration. It was designed by Kisho Kurokawa and consisted of individual flats each in a pre-formed box or capsule. These capsules were then adapted to the superstructure to form the tower. Each capsule was pre-assembled in a factory and included all the appliances. The capsules were designed for individuals, so if a family wanted to live in the building they would have to adapt several capsules. The units were detachable. It was an attempt to create a model of sustainable architecture that could be recycled and exchanged. The idea was to create a completely flexible system, one that could be adapted to the needs of a fast-paced, constantly changing society. I think it is a shame that such a building will be destroyed. I understand the capsules could be remodeled and that the exterior look now is looking a bit decrepit but I think all it needed was a brand new outside. I believe that the concept for the tower is absolutely genius.
