Yes, that’s right. It’s a swimming pool floating over the entrance to Shaw House, an amazing piece of architecture by Vancouver based Patkau Architects. (via Design Crisis)
Buamai & iPhone
Design image bookmarking site Buamai (which translates to ‘Are you bored?’) have released an iPhone app which randomly selects images from the Buamai database to display on your iPhone, to try and kill your boredom. Nice idea. (via QBN)
Buff Monster
Some nice illustration by the infamous Buff Monster. Really digging the laptop and iphone skins.
MadeByJulene
Amazing paper craft by MadeByJulene!
Via Grafik
Via Grafik are a Germany based design studio and art-collective who are pumping out some fresh stuff!
typo/graphic posters
typo/graphic posters is (as the name suggests) a great resource for checking out all the fresh new posters from loads of different designers. Brilliant source of inspiration.
Addictionary
Are you an executard? Need to take a faceabbatical? No idea what these words mean. Then Addictionary is the place to go. Packed full of words only the internet could produce, you can look up anything and even add your own words. It’s pretty too!
Word Clock
Word Clock is a typographical way of telling time by Simon Heys. Nice concept and you can download it as a screensaver too!
Pingmag – No More
It’s a sad day when decent design blogs die and Pingmag was one of the best of them. Brilliantly written stories covering the fields of art, design, architecture, fashion and many other categories all with a Japanese twist were what made Pingmag so special. Hopefully the site stays up so you can browse the archives (which I highly suggest doing). Farewell Pingmag.
