Tuesday, January 27th, 2009Make it Work
Monday, January 26th, 2009
I made it last Friday to the Make it Work exhibition at the Center for Architecture. The exhibit was sponsored by Arup (among others), and it included work they’ve done with architects around the world and how they’re pushing new technologies/techniques/materials to achieve those projects. The show included a prototype of the Trusset, devised by Phil Anzalone and Corey Clarke. Our good friends Robert Pallman (who works at Arup) and Troy Zezula from Pratt (worked at Arup over the summer) had to do with some of the projects.

Porno Industry wants to be Bailed Out…
Sunday, January 11th, 2009Really. They’re requesting only 5 billion dollars for it.
Francis said in a statement that “the US government should actively support the adult industry’s survival and growth, just as it feels the need to support any other industry cherished by the American people.”
They should get at least 2 billion for cynisism.

EFGH
Friday, November 14th, 2008
SOFTlab has just completed the website for our good friends Frank Gesualdi and Hayley Eber at EFGH.
The site was conceived as a pulsing array of pixels that contain the projects. After a while, it looks like the site is breathing, almost alive.
Go check it out.

Chanel’s Mobile Art Pavilion
Friday, November 14th, 2008
I had forgotten to upload these images on Zaha’s Pavilion. It was definitely good walking through it, too bad though that (most of) the art was just, mediocre to say the least.

Morphosis
Saturday, October 11th, 2008
I had the pleasure today of taking a tour of Morphosis’ new building for the Cooper Union (thanks Hayley!). The building, which will be completed approximately in May 09 will be the new science and engineering labs for the school.

Dogmatic
Friday, October 10th, 2008
Our good friends from EFGH -Frank Gesualdi and Hayley Eber- had the opening of their first completed architectural project: Dogmatic, a nifty little quasi fast food restaurant in Union Square which specializes in gourmet sausages, served in a vertical baguette. Very yummy by the way.
The design of the space is incredibly smart and playful: a hefty communal table takes the center stage, with a thick butcher block top and steel base. The table has cantilevered retractable seats which is such a good move for a small place, avoiding altogether any type of loose furniture. A mural baked into the tile is another great detail, moreover since it’s placed along the area where the waiting line will be. These guys took a lot of care in the details, so go take a look at it and try some of the goodies.

DS+R’s (first) Website
Thursday, September 25th, 2008
Guess who has a new site? The cool kids at Diller Scofidio + Renfro. It only took them this long to get one, but they did come out in style. Awesome site, using -what looks like- Papervision. It seems like it also went up quietly just recently.
