XMAS PARTY

Got bored during my design work, decided to make a quick xmas party poster for work.

Tadao Ando is an architect who inspires me. Im back at uni and now to dissolve myself into the design world once again! These are some images of his work which i find amazing... the way the man uses concrete and yet the building sits so calmly within an environment.

Concept Motorbikes.

Im looking to do my CBT and the Direct Access in summer this year 2010. I want to be on the road by the end of summer ideally. So ive been doing a lot research into the type of bike I want when I pass (fingers crossed) my test, but my attention span is terrible and all ive endded up doing today at work is looking and researching for the next generation/concept bikes. I found some complete stupid ones that will never work. Ive always thought that concept models had an air of reality to them and they were believable. Ive picked some of my favourites I found on the interweb. Although some rather doubtful... they just look nice. Its all about the aesthetics! Form before Function... :o)

~the company's work...

Im currently a design intern for a bespoke ceilings and partition sub contractors. I didn't relise till the other day that their work so impressive, they have had major commisions with BAA at Heathrow and Gatwick in designing ceilings for their Terminals. Browsing through their archives today I came along these beauts... Most of these pictures are for the Virgin Lounge.

This is old news but its still amazing.

Looking through the endless pages of google and I came across the UK Pavilion for the China Expo 2010 again, I still find it amazing and i know this may come across slightly bias but I think its the best one there. For those that don't know, those acrylic rods contain seeds from an endless variety of flora. It supposed to symbolise the seeds of change and our preservation of nature. I still love the fact that architects can pretty much bullsh*t there way through anything. There is another firm favourite and thats the Luxemburger Pavilion (below), which is clad in corten steel. A material that I absolutely love, the Australian Pavilion uses it as well but its really boring to look at!
