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.
Take a peek at some more images after the jump below.
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.

Our good friend Brian Ripel, founder of RSVP studio, won the New York City Racks competition for the indoor bike racks, which was sponsored by Google. The first prototype, according to the competition, is to be deployed at Google’s offices. I’ll try to get an image from Brian later on to post it here. .

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.
