Richard Meier x Massimo VignelliOn the Edge of Modernism With the Master Architect and the Genius Designer

Illustrious modernist Richard Meier and multi-disciplinary creator Massimo Vignelli reflect on their respective crafts, city life, and enduring friendship in this mesmeric film by Johnnie Shand Kydd. Shot at the minimalist offices of Richard Meier & Partners on 10th Avenue and West 36th Street, the two powerhouses discuss their collaboration on the firm’s forthcoming monograph, Richard Meier, Architect Volume 6, chronicling the stark, white, rationalist buildings that define the firm’s aesthetic.

{ Best of Craigslist: Part Deux }

I didn't think anything would top this glorious unicorn ad I found a while back, but sure enough I did it! Well a humorous gent of the Seattle Craigslist did, so I'm gonna count it. Unfortunately it's been flagged... although some of us (me) flagged it for the best of, not removal. Nothing inappropriate, but I guess regular folks can't handle the awesomeness of this ad. It's a graphic and fun way to get rid of a car. Enjoy the GREATEST AD EVER put on Craigslist... yes, it's that glorious. click to enlarge (I had to print screen two images together, so excuse the slight ripple in tap-dancing).

{ You're Welcome }

for some reason it's being lame. So click for animation.

{ Nerdy Architecture Game }

My nerdiness is about to run amuck! NextArchitects have gone and developed and produced an ARCHITECTURE game! Ahhh! my inner architect (which seldomly gets to come out) is so excited!
All my knowledge from school can finally be put to the test... although, I still appreciate being texted for precedent questions. The game features iconic buildings and a set of infamous LeCorbusier for the player who is taking his turn. Originally launched in 1999 but only available to that damn awesome dutch Delft University, this is the second edition is the international version, meaning that it is produced in English, but also that the questions range right across the breadth of modern world history.




I can't wait 'til this is available for online purchase ...if you find it let me know. But when it is, expect a call from me for an uber nerdy board game night. {via}

Woman of the Year

and no it's not me. According to Glamour, Marissa Mayer is this year's Woman of the Year. Why you might ask? well it's Google. Yes, google. Seems like everyone is doin' it 7 billion times a year. and everything google has to go through the hands of Marissa Mayer.

As vice president, search and user experience (and a 10-year veteran of Google), she’s helped make the company the world’s number-one search engine, with revenues of nearly $22 billion last year. “I’ve always liked simplicity,” says Mayer, 34. “It’s hard to tell where my aesthetic ends and Google’s begins.” Almost nothing gets out the door without her approval, including innovations like Gmail and Google Earth. “It’s pretty hard to overstate her impact,” says Google CEO Eric Schmidt. “She built the team that designs the products we all use.”

Welx Back Hubble!

I didn't know I was missing you until I saw these...
Thanks for coming back and bringing us these great images (via)

Above: Butterfly Emerges from Stellar Demise in Planetary Nebula NGC 6302

Above: Stars Bursting to Life in Chaotic Carina Nebula

These two images of a huge pillar of star birth demonstrate how observations taken in visible (top) and in infrared light (bottom) by Hubble reveal dramatically different and complementary views of an object.

Composed of gas and dust, the pillar resides in a tempestuous stellar nursery called the Carina Nebula, located 7,500 light-years away in the southern constellation Carina.

Just Cause...

thnx rolson.

Make Your Own Font

These guys did it. Two typographers ( Pierre & Damien / plmd.me ) and a pro race pilot (Stef van Campenhoudt) collaborated to design a font with a car.
The car movements were tracked using a custom software, designed by interactive artist Zachary Lieberman. ( openframeworks.cc )
