‘Olympic Gold’ by Studio Lara de Greef

No Comments 05 February 2010

From Studio Lara de Greef:

‘In Greek antiquity major events were often depicted on ceramics. These events, from birth until golden wedding, were shown on a tragically, lofty manner. Today, this way of presenting is still used, for example by high quality Wedgwood china.

These elegant, sophisticated, three-dimensional decorations are loved by people from all walks of life. Lara de Greef liked to decorate pottery with images that call for more recognition with everyday acts of life, such as dressing and undressing, getting into or out one’s shoes, sweeping the floor or practising sports.

In Lara’s designs, the detailed decorations show these animations very nicely.’

‘BUMPS in Beijing’ by SAKO Architects

1 Comment 26 December 2009

‘BUMPS in Beijing’ by SAKO Architects is an integrated project with four residential buildings, as well as a commercial building. Traditionally, residential buildings in China are oriented south and north. With the increase in the density of the buildings, the traditional method causes buildings to be too close to each other and the rooms facing to the north can hardly get sunshine. ‘BUMPS in Beijing’ is rotated by 45 degrees from the north-south axis. This design provides optimum sunshine for each building and also creates a shortcut the way to the central business areas from different directions.
