Portuguese photographer Fernando Guerra has sent us his photographs of this museum for modern art in South Korea by architects Álvaro Siza , Carlos Castanheira and Jun Sung Kim.
Mimesis Museum has a flowing concrete form that wraps around a central courtyard, and was inspired by a sketch of a cat that Siza drew upon arriving at the site.
The three-storey building has service...

It kicks off on Friday 17 September with Sir Terry Pratchett introducing his new book I Shall Wear Midnight . On Saturday, the Children's Book Festival features Josh Lacey, Anthony McGowan and the Fast Show's Charlie Higson, author o...
Gonçalo Campos pointed me to his most recent design called Dedo Message Board . It put a big smile on my face and know that my long distance roomate BB would sure get a kick out of this. Dedo Board let’s you leave messages and play, just by simply dragging your finger trough the fur you leave a trail, a drawing. Oh, how much fun could be had with this. Tempting.
My two daughters are now in college and have put their toes in the working-world with summer jobs. As they’ve grown older, they’ve heard their parent’s advice about women in the workforce.
This post is not advice nor is it a recommendation of what you should do. It’s simply my interpretation of what I observed watching my daughters grow up . Our circumstances were unique, times have changed, an...

Vagyis ha ábrázoljuk ezt a függvényt a megadott értékek közt, akkor pontosan saját magát fogja kirajzolni, ennek a képe a pixeles ábra fenn. (Szerintem egyébként úgy működik, hogy ez a bazi nagy szám “tárolja” el a pixel információkat, amit a függvény csak ügyesen “kiszed” és felrajzol. Ebben az értelemben bármilyen egyszerűbb szöveget ki lehet rajzoltatni vele, h...

The humble washing machine revolutionized the way we all live. Before automatic washing machines came along, clothes were washed by hand in a tub, a tedious and tiring process. Today, the washing machine takes care of all of the hard work for us, even if it is a less-than-thrilling mach...

At OpenDNS , nice button:
It was the first thing I read on that page, and it immediately answered my question.
A conversation about signatures (real ones, not digital) from our room in Campfire :
Jason F.: Don’t you think that would be a really cool niche side job for a designer? Custom designed signatures? The client would have to learn it, but I bet there’d be a decent market for a really cool signature.
Jamie D.: That is interesting, and actually w/ all the digital stuff you probably don’...

A little over a week ago, I closed down all of my social media accounts, with the exception of Twitter, which I locked . The explanation I gave was that, in an age when everyone and their dog is sharing every aspect of their life, being a digital recluse is the new “Internet famous”.

Bikes are piled up after the afternoon rush hour
Cycle Hire bikes piled up near Royal Festival Hall, as far as the eye can see. Over 100 of them. At first blush it looks like some pesky delinquents have been preparing them for sale to unsuspecting punters in on Brick Lane.

In all my years in business, I have yet to hear someone say: “I love corporate politics.” On the other hand, I meet plenty of people who complain bitterly about corporate politics—sometimes even in the companies they run. So, if nobody loves politics, why all the politics?
Political behavior almost always starts w...
