pNow that we’re moving beyond the mouse, gestural interface design really is turning into a free-for-all, with no universal language yet beyond tapping to “activate” and swiping to advance./p

pThe latest object seemingly designed to befuddle your parents is the A HREF=”http://www.gesture-remote.com/” Gesture Remote/A from a company called Ident Technology. Though they claim their device “transforms watching television into a magical, intuitive experience,” after watching the demo video, I disagree; because it picks up airborne finger motions in addition to surface touches, I think I’d constantly be activating the wrong thing, particularly when shifting the remote in my hand or setting it down./p

Three years ago, Philip Johnson‘s Glass House opened to the public to much fanfare, and between celebrity tours, pop-up shops and high-profile conferences, that enthusiasm has continued. Unfortunately, while the buzz has helped keep the famous architect’s prized series of buildings in the public eye, the passage of time hasn’t been so kind. Bloomberg reports that several of the 13 buildings within the compound are in dire need of repair, in particular the Brick House, which Johnson used when he wanted to escape the transparency of his more iconic all-glass buildings and where “he could feel comfortable with his homosexuality.” That building is suffering from severe mildew and has an ever-worsening foundation problem, which is said to need more than $3 million to repair. That, in addition to all the other needed fixes throughout the compound, adds up to some considerable expenses. In a move to raise money, the National Trust, which oversees the Glass House, as well as the still under repair Farnsworth House by Mies van der Rohe, has asked more than 100 artists, designers and architects to create pieces to have auctioned off at two events, one here in Chicago today and one in New York in early October (you might recall that we had a post up about the great posters made for the events). If you have some extra hundred thousand dollar bills you’re not using and want to put them to a good cause, here’s your chance.

British architect John Pawson has sent us these snaps of the model he used when designing the forthcoming exhibition of his work at London’s Design Museum, which opens next week.

“Through the exhibition the viewer will get an in-depth look at my design process – from sketches and study models right through to a full scale installation,” says Pawson.

“A series of large-scale photographs explore the relationship between my architecture and the landscape, while actual architectural elements in stone, bronze, wood and metal examine the combination of materials. Films, interviews and personal items from my archive will also be on display including letters from Karl Lagerfeld and the writer Bruce Chatwin.”

More behind-the-scenes information about the exhibition on Pawson’s Plain Space blog.

Here’s some more information from the Design Museum:

“The father of modern architectural minimalism”
New York Times

The Design Museum presents a major exhibition of the work of British architect John Pawson. Often described as a ‘minimalist’ he is known for a rigorous process of reduction, that creates designs of simplicity, grace and visual clarity. At the heart of the exhibition is a site-specific 1:1, full-sized installation designed by Pawson to offer a direct experience of his work – the first such installation at the museum.

Plain Space celebrates Pawson’s career to date with models, film, photographs and architectural elements and includes some of his most important projects including the Cistercian Monastery of Our Lady of Nový Dvůr in the Czech Republic, the Sackler Crossing at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and the Calvin Klein store on Madison Avenue, New York.
