Five Reasons To Flash A Smile

A camera is best described as a device that records images that can be stored directly and transmitted to another location, or both. We have seen it evolve through the years in both technology and in design. This brings to mind the question, what is the future of a camera in say about five to ten years from now. Will it be minimal or elaborate? One thing is for sure, the cameras of the future will be high on technology but their designing may get radically unconventional. Here is a look at five futuristic concept cameras that give you a reason to flash those pearly whites!

Most Buzzed Designs of September 2012

I completely resonate with Edward Tufte’s philosophy that ‘good design is a lot like clear thinking made visual.’ A lot of times what we can’t express in words, because we lack linguistic skills or have communication barriers. At times like this, a simple illustration of our intent is sufficient to express our thoughts, as long as we are crystal clear about them. Here is a look at ten outstanding designs from September that were apparent with their ‘clear thinking made visual’ intent.

10) Light Bird – Solar Lamp by Jang Eun Hyuk

9) PUSHit Toilet Seat Design by Hoe Yeong Jung

8 ) Philou le Caribou – Lighting Decor by Maxime Dubreucq, Vincent Claudepierre, & Benoit Louzaouen

Most Buzzed Designs of August 2012

I never fully understood the implications of Dieter Ram’s ‘Good Design Is Thorough Down to the Last Detail’ maxim, till I experienced it myself. It was a well designed chair, that looked innovative and inviting; but believe me I could not park my butt on it for more than five minutes. And to add to my woes, I had to suffer through an entire three course dinner sitting on it, pretending it was comfy and cushy! Only if this designer had been good with the most essential detail of making the chair comfortable! Oh well enough said, here is a tribute to the Most Buzzed Designs of August, which go to exemplify that attention to detail is a key ingredient in good design.

Changing The Chinese Skyline

Over the past few years Zaha Hadid and her band of architects have been making news in China. With their Guangzhou Opera House bagging many accolades and awards this year, we thought about recapturing for you in one page, how she is managing to change China’s skyline. There could be many political inferences we can draw from the sudden spate of modernizations in China. But for the sake of our interest in design, we stick only to admiring the beauty and integrity of theses 5 magnificent projects.

The Sky SOHO is an office and retail destination housed in close quarters to Hongqiao Transportation Hub and Shanghai’s city centre. The Hongqiao Airport is in close quarters as well. The structure consolidates three thematic courtyards and reflects distinct cluster of activities.
