IWAO YAMAWAKI


With Bauhaus 1919–1933: Workshops for Modernity opening at the Moma, we thought it fitting to look at Iwao Yamawaki, a Japanese Architect turned Bauhaus Photographer.

The Interior Design of Wonderwall

A friend sent me a link to Wonderwall’s website today, and I was amazed by the interiors they have designed.  Founded by Masamichi Katayama in 2000, the Japanese interior design firm is most known for their retail design (those who have been in Soho’s Uniqlo, that’s them) but, they do dabble in architecture and product design as well.  All of it is so sleek.

A Floating House

upsidedown-house

Well, not really. But the amazing use of glass and space in this house designed by Kraus-Schoenberg Architects allows it to appear as if it is floating about the ground.  For more info and photos go here

That house is Upside Down

upside-down-house-germany

This house in Germany was built upside down for a special exhibition.  The designers went so far as to drill all of the furnishings into their proper places on the floor/ceiling.  I would live in this house if they kept the furniture on the ground.

If this ‘Flintstones’ looking house in Portugal is actually real…

flintstone-house-portugal

Then it is seriously one of the weirdest and most awesome houses ever created.  What do you think the inside looks like?  Ugh, there are too many questions that need to be answered.

feral houses in Detroit

feral-house-detroit

Detroit in its modern state of decay is so intruiging.  It reminds me of those weird towns in Atlas Shrugged, where all that remains is mayhem.  And for Detroit, all that remains are the Lions, Tigers, and Red Wings.

Oscar Niemeyer on VBS TV

The 101-year old Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer had his first significant building erected at the age of 38.  A 60 plus year career, Niemeyer is the perfect example of if you’re doing something you love, you can do it forever.  This video makes me want to see Brasilia.  Part 2 after the jump

Chalk this up to a simple fact. If you have enough money, you can turn your childhood dreams into reality.

The Ramp House was designed by Archivirus Architecture and Design of Greece, for a client who made a simple request that the house be a ’skateable environment’.

Saville designs textiles….

saville

Sort of. Peter Saville is putting the final touches on a new showroom in Shoreditch for the Danish textile company Kvadrat, in collaboration with the architect David Adjaye. “David has pretty much created a space that is a tribute to Kvadrat and Peter Saville,” he says. Saville has been working with Kvadrat for nearly five years, principally as a consultant and creative director, but this project, even by his own standards, is perhaps his most Saville-esque with the company to date.

good eats

wettingen2

Created as an extension for the Wettingen School, the cafeteria was designed by mlzd architect.
The building envelope, composed of a homogeneous coverage of black anodized aluminium sheets, plays with the light that seeps between the silhouettes of the flowers and leafs cut out of the aluminium sheets. The new cafeteria has a rural character and part of a the conceptual and formal analogy with the traditional farm, which makes the volume, types and structural features of the interior space.

Looking for the right house, how about a wright house?

wright-house-sf

Sorry, that was dumb and easy.  Seriously though, a really gorgeous house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright is up for sale in The Bathrooms (Los Banos) California.  If you consider yourself a real player, make it happen and make it sold.
