As we continue to grow more and more attached to technology, the weight of social relationships and ever-connectedness builds with it. While we all seem to subconsciously know the downside of this lopsided relationship, few of us do anything to address it. But…

Core77 is pleased to partner with Windows Phone to bring you a series of photo diaries this summer. Based on the theme of Reinvention, we’re looking to capture the fleeting moments and highlight the often-overlooked facets of the world around us through the lens of the Nokia Lumia 928, especially in the low-light settings in which its camera excels. (All photos were taken with the Nokia Lumia 928 smartphone and are published without postproduction unless otherwise noted.)
It’s beginning to look a lot like summer here in the New York—tourists and residents alike were certainly glad that the weather held up for Memorial Day after a freakishly cold start to last weekend. The holiday weekend also marks the beginning of the first beach season since Superstorm Sandy slammed the East Coast and ravaged much of the coastline where so many of us have fond memories of halcyon summers past. Indeed, the city has been making a concerted effort to restore the beloved recreational areas in the months since the hurricane struck last fall, and the New York Times recently chronicled the recovery effort in anticipation of the official reopening of Rockaway Beach.
MoMAPS1’s VW Dome 2, a temporary event space across the street from the beach, will be open until June 30.

Mori in giapponese significa Bosco. Dal momento in cui Dai Fujiwara ha disegnato questa collezione per il brand spagonolo ha ricercato un tessuto che unisse il desiderio tattile del materiale con la collezione medesima. La lavorazione è a maglia, inusuale per questo tipo di accessori, tiene insieme un tessuto composto da carta per il 64% della sua composizione, lasciando il resto al poliestere. La collezione è composta da una borsa di due misure, zainetto, tote bag e portafoglio.

In our third movie about this year’s World Architecture Festival and Inside Festival, architect, designer and Inside Festival jury chair Nigel Coates discusses his breakthrough interiors project Caffè Bongo and explains what he will be looking for when judging the awards.
“I don’t really see interior design as a discipline,” says Coates. “I see it as a phenomenon. I call it ‘atmos’: when something special happens in an interior which isn’t just functional or stylistic.”
He goes on to explain that, for him, a good interior “needs to communicate something extra. Not just to a visitor but to the person who lives in it, who’s familiar with it. It needs to create a warmth, cause a kind of alchemy in the way you exist in it.”
Coates says his breakthrough in interiors came in 1986 with Caffè Bongo in Tokyo. Inspired by Italian director Federico Fellini’s 1960s movie La Dolce Vita, the café combined classical statues and architectural elements with parts of an aeroplane that had seemingly crashed into it.
“[It] may seem completely wild,” says Coates. “But I still assert that the crashed aircraft into that building was calm compared with the other nonsense that was going on up and down the street.
“There was an aircraft wing at the top of the window. Charles Jencks described it as a crash. I would see it more as a fusion of the biggest object that symbolises movement and the architectural condition of the window.”
When judging the awards for this year’s Inside Festival, which takes place in Singapore in October, Coates will be looking for projects that “create a sort of chemistry”.

He says: “What I want to see is the translation of an idea. If it’s just based on style and nice finishes, even clever organisation, that’s not enough. The idea needs to translate into some kind of sensual experience, it needs to capture you.
“Interiors can be dismissed, but if we’re talking about excellence, I think it’s just as hard to do a good interior as it is to do a good building.”
Inside Festival award entries close 10 June. See here for how to enter.
The music featured in the above movie is a track called HKPF by UK producer Sun Yin. You can listen to the full track on Dezeen music Project.
