Le duo de réalisateurs Daniels nous invite à découvrir le clip illustrant le morceau « Cry Like a Ghost » du groupe Passion Pit, issu de l’album Gossamer. Très réussie, cette création montre en chorégraphies et transitions visuelles du plus bel effet la triple histoire d’amour d’une femme désespérée. Plus dans la suite.

Questo potete considerarlo come il fratellino minore del modello ‘The Unit’. Mantiene tuttavia una serie di features di buon livello come la cassa in policarbonato e il display ad elevato contrasto, adatto per dare buona visibilità in tutte le condizioni. Lo trovate sullo store in varie colorazioni.

Brooklyn-based Caliper Studio has renovated the former home and studio of American pop artist Roy Lichtenstein, adding a rooftop sculpture garden and a pair of “eyebrow-shaped” skylights.
The two buildings were originally constructed as a garage and metal shop in New York’s Greenwich Village, before the late artist converted them into a residence and workspace in the 1980s. After his death, the studio was handed over to the Lichtenstein Foundation for preservation, but the apartment remained the home of Lichtenstein’s widow Dorothy.
Architects and metalworkers Caliper Studio were asked to make a number of interior and exterior changes to the jumble of buildings, including additions to the studio, the insertion of a new garden and the renovation of a penthouse office and guest apartment.
To bring natural light into the studios, the architects constructed two curved steel skylight modules, using a concrete spray technique to build up the curved body of each structure.
They then covered a total of eight rooftops with sedum grass, artificial hills and decking to create the elevated garden, creating a new home for the Lichtenstein sculptures Brushstrokes and Endless Drip. Timber pathways lead out towards an elevated viewing platform.

For the guest apartment and penthouse, new structures were built using dark grey brickwork and timber louvres.

We’ve featured a number of artists’ studios on Dezeen, including four on a remote Canadian island and one beneath a railway viaduct in London. See more art and design studios.

Here’s some extra information from Caliper Studio:
West Village Residence and Artist Studio
A renovation at the studio of the late artist Roy Lichtenstein includes 3,000SF planted roof and sculpture garden.
A new sculpture garden connects the 2nd floor roof level of two existing buildings used by the late artist Roy Lichtenstein and his family. Still the West Village home of his widow, Dorothy, the new garden features two of Roy Lichtenstein’s outdoor sculptures. The project also includes the renovation of a guest apartment and penthouse office with views of the garden.
The planted roof’s sedum carpet partially covers two eyebrow skylights over the artist studio below. Designed to modulate light, the thin shell skylights were built using innovative fabrication technologies. Their complex geometry was realized through computer milled formwork coupled with a sprayed‐on concrete technique often used in the construction of tunnels.
Preservation of the artist’s studio was a primary design objective of the project. Careful technical detailing of the building’s envelope help ensure the longevity of the studio. The quality of the space and its character has been maintained through original artifacts including the artist’s built‐in wall easel system and paint‐splattered floor.

Planted Berm Skylight
Caliper Studio designed, detailed and installed these steel and glass skylights. In addition to the steelwork, Caliper also worked closely with Riverside Builders to ensure that the sprayed concrete shell construction would meet the exacting tolerance of the skylights.

To that end, Caliper Studio provided an accurate 3D model that was used directly for CNC milling of the formwork. Automated drawing procedures developed in-house also aided the fabrication of the complex system of steel reinforcing buried in the concrete.

Recently, I did a Google search for the Saab Sonnett III to post an image into the Core77 discussion boards (we were discussing V4 engines). On Google’s image search, I noticed a really well-done presentation sketch for a modified Sonnett. Intrigued, I clicked to visit the page and found myself on a blog with some 70-odd presentation sketches for cars, hot rods, engines, suspensions, car interiors and other vehicular concepts, all of equally excellent execution.
I immediately wanted to share this treasure trove of design inspiration with everyone I knew, but thought that I’d contact the blog owner first: Jack Ashcraft in Southern California.
After a career in the USAF, Ashcraft owned a Saab-Fiat-Citroën dealer and also raced Saabs and Fiats in hillclimbs and autocrosses in California. That kind of serious automotive addiction led him to study transportation and industrial design at Art Center. After graduating in 1976, he stayed in California and designed aftermarket parts, kit cars and aircraft and consulting for some major auto makers. On the side, Ashcraft continued to stoke his passion for Saabs by restoring them and dealing in parts for vintage Saabs. Today, he’s semi-retired, but keeps himself busy with restoration projects, his own Fiat hot rod project and reconditioning distributors and vintage speedometers.
This brings us to his sketch blog. All the time, he had been amassing sketches of all kinds of dream projects. A couple of years ago, one of his sons decided to start scanning the sketchbooks and share them with the Internet leading to this very unique collection.

Balance is a contemporary flower vase designed with the traditional know-how of Veneto blown glass. The decorative piece is composed of a single floating glass element that rests on a weighted oak structure, inspiring reflection on the delicate physics and emphasizing balance between emptiness and fullness.
