V.O.B. - Typography: What is Typography?

Typographics from Ryan Uhrich on Vimeo.



Typographics is a short lesson about typography illustrated in the visual language of info-graphics. The objective was to use type as the main aesthetic and design element to create awareness about the evolution and main characteristics of typography. Both the music and voice over used in the piece make reference to 1950's TV and Radio advertising. Typographics targets designers and non-designers who have an interest in typography and want to learn more about it.

Lego Dj Deck

How about a whole DJ set, built in, into a Lego deck. That’s the original creation of two artists who decided to create their own floating DJ deck … using Lego Bricks. More tricky then it looks like, the deck is actually made of wood and entirely recovered with lego pieces. You can learn more about them on the studio’s website, and even see how they did it step by step on Stylespion … However the german is required to understand it well. Great inspiration source.

From close friends and Montreal design-dream-team Mike Giles, Daniel Julien, and Aaron Daley comes a new line of watches for those that appreciate both artistry and convenience. CH has featured time pieces and more from the masterminds previously (including the exclusive limited edition CH x Furni Farmer watch) but never before as a complete trio, launching their first collaborative company, Neuvo.

The "Prospector Collection" will be the first offering from the much-anticipated Neuvo company, featuring four metal, digital timepieces. With the beautifully-crafted vintage feel of your father's old worn-in watch and all the accouterments of a modern-day digital, the collection refers to a time when things were simple and value was measurable.

Each piece comes loaded with everything one could want in a watch, including a 12 or 24-hour display, chronograph, an hourly chime, backlight, and alarm. The watches are also water-resistant, so you can keep track of the time in style even under a light rain.

The metal watches are plated in either brushed gold, silver, bronze, or black, and only 200 of each is going into production. For those nervous about ordering wearables online (especially limited editions!), Neuvo has even created a free "try it before you buy it" iPhone app, currently available on iTunes. Without the hassle of ordering and returning, you can try on a virtual Neuvo watch on an image of your own wrist. Once you've made your selection, the app can take you directly to the purchasing info for your new accessory of choice. Each sells for the very fair price of $45 (plus shipping) exclusively from Neuvo's brand-new website, NeuvoMonde.com.

The foundation explained that, “Wang and Lu recognize the need for a philosophical and conceptual foundation of architecture which must find its origin in the substance of building.” Known for using traditional materials and the manipulation of landscape as a catalyst to create new forms, the team creates projects that seamlessly fit into their context and possess a strong architectural character.

Along with these awards, Schelling Medals are being given to the Swiss architects Knapkiewicz & Fickert and the British designer Tom Heatherwick for their work in the field. The public award ceremony will be held in the presence of all prize winners and medallists on the 14th of November 2010 in Karlsruhe, Germany. Congratulations to all the winners!

Design : Foundation Architecture & Design Ltd




Design Concept
· Foundation were commissioned to create a bespoke iconic tennis stadium and training academy for the United Arab Emirates.
· The design had to be instantly recognisable as a world wide brand.
· We were inspired by the deconstructed form of a tennis ball and translated the shapes and forms of the dissected ball into the buildings. The distinctive curves of the seams are apparent in the roof lines of the buildings.
· The shells of the buildings float above a podium that enables sheltered movement between the facilities.
· Landscaping radiates from the buildings creating a sense of arrival and concourse.
Design Process
· We started by dissecting a real tennis ball.
· The forms were then modelled in Autodesk Maya and the scale of the shells altered to suit the proportions of a world class tennis stadium. We use computer modelling to test and develop the design ideas.
· Once the proportions were fixed, design drawings were created in Microstation and presentation visualisations were produced.

· The concept design has provided a success brand for The Jimmy Connors World of Tennis.
