Aussie IT Pricing Inquiry Now Taking Submissions When Yeezy premiers a film, it’s safe to assume he’s not going to gather some people inside an auditorium and hit the lights. Why do that when you can commission a massive pyramid to house a seven-screen cinematic palace?
At dinner in tonight, my friends got talking about the proposal to turn 3.6km of doomed monorail track into an elevated walk/cycle way. When floated in April, the idea drew comparisons to New York’s high rail line retrofit. It’s unlikely to get past the drawing board, but you have to admit it’d look kind of futuristic (albeit impractically narrow, as Crikey points out). That’s why I’m excited to hear that Melbourne has its own very different plans for an elevated cycle freeway.
Commissioned by Mediamatic for the New Order festival, Netherlands-based DUS Architects’ “Mind Igloo” is a temporary art/architecture installation, made of two decommissioned hot air balloons, that explores the symbiosis of creative spaces and collective thinking.
The recently completed Daeyang Gallery and House in the hills of Seoul, South Korea is itself a work of art worthy of being shown in a museum, but it’s also designed specifically with the purpose of holding private exhibitions and events.
It’s no secret that we’re fans of building façade projections here at Giz — I mean who hasn’t looked at the side of a skyscraper and imagined glass windows as pixels for a giant screen? That’s what Melbourne-based lighting director Bruce Ramus (of Opera House light projection fame) has done with Luminous: the 150m wide, four-storey tall interactive art installation in Darling Harbour, Sydney. The lights went on over the weekend and Gizmodo went along to check it out.
With the proper projector the world is your canvas. Our friends at Oobject have assembled 15 art installations painted in light…
The residents of these bright-red social housing units in Salburua, Spain, are the envy of every bill-paying apartment (and house!) dweller everywhere. In a feat of remarkable design innovation, these affordable apartments — designed by ACXT — actually produce too much energy!
Are you one of those people who constantly threatens to detach from society and go live out in the woods? You’re probably baffled as to how you’d go about making that a reality, right? Well for $US10,000 and a little bit of elbow grease, you could finally make good on those empty threats with a super-tiny cabin.
Yesterday, atop the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, artist and architect Tomas Saraceno debuted his most recent work: Cloud City. A spectacular sculptural constellation, Cloud City is a mirrored fun house of geodesic pods, open to the public, with a number of prime vantage points for taking in the expansive Manhattan skyline and greenery of Central Park.
Just outside of Adelaide, Australia, there’s a pedestrian-looking, bluestone church deserving of a second glance. Inside, the 1877 house of worship has been completely renovated and transformed into a thoroughly modern dwelling. It’s such a unique residence that it’s no surprise that it was snapped up almost immediately after it went on the market.
