In geometry, a spidron is a continuous flat geometric figure composed entirely of triangles, where, for every pair of joining triangles, each has a leg of the other as one of its legs, and neither has any point inside the interior of the other.
It was first modelled in 1979 by Dániel Erdély

Research and experimentation on computation-enabled integration of the heterogenous information and processes taking part in the design of physical objects (such as functional parameters, material properties, organizational principles, manufacturing processes, representation issues etc.), in order to develop intuitive design environments and explore different design possibilities and prospects in spatial organization.Being manifested as computer programs, these prototypes are ephemeral, “volatile”, in contrast to the concrete structures and material organizations they refer to.
ArchDaily med senaste byggnaderna värda att titta på. Här monovolume architecture + design som ritat ett stört kraftverk i Österrike.
Polygonstilen har gjort mig knäsvag länge nu. Kan jag tröttna? Det är möjligt, det börjar bli lite väl vanligt för mitt tycke nämligen. Än har jag inte nått det stadiet dock, så därför informerar jag om den här konstruktionen ämnad för frukter eller annat som kan passa. d-Vison är ett projekt för att främja Israelisk formgivning.

Varför inte piffa upp hemmet med en stilren robot som odlar skönt, grönt hår?
Du placerar ”torvpuckarna” i I grobot, sår gräsfröna, vattnar, och inom några veckor ser du hur roboten kommer till liv.

Armin Hofmann is a Swiss graphic designer. Here are few pages from his book “Graphic Design Manual: Principles and Practice “, it looks like I’ll have to add it to my wishlist. You can find some more pages in this Flickr set.
Boken finns bla på Amazon.
when was the last time you got punched by design? we are inundated by images everyday which wear us down with their hopeless nostalgia repackaged as new. weary of quirk and whimsy but still in need of a laugh and a stiff drink, we need to confront that which claims to be contemporary in an attempt to define the present. there are no more kings. we are looking to get knocked in the teeth a bit by the unexpected, the beautiful, and the present.
Mycket fint här.
