The geometry of this intertwoven staircase, becoming the structural highlight of the movement within the residence, is strong, simple and yet its dynamism entrancing.
The act of a single line can never be undone; it can only be improved. There were no erasers allowed in my art class, for that, I am thankful. The gesture to conceive, create and dream could never be undone. Design is an evolving, revolving, exciting and enticing act. We see, we respond, we act, we think, we dream. Ultimately, the role of the designer is to inspire and engage, and to encourage the second line to be drawn, never disregarding the first. This is a conversation with lines.

lego love
A photographic montage exhibition of sorts, lego sorts, explores the idea of 'habits (that) make us blind'. Concieved by spanish architecture studio, Espai MGR, the exhibition aims to explore the unexplored, the ignored and the dessolate; the voids in the islands we call our own behaviours.
Inspired by stumbling down the same unused streets and back alleys, the architects play with the idea of using fundamental building blocks (lego) as a primitive to display the possibilities, spatially and architecturally, in the pockets of abandonment in our own urban jungles.
Lego was undoubtably my primitive, it inspired and changed spaces and created new possibilities.
The merit and surprising obviousness of this, should be applauded.

theres not much i dont love about this mans beautiful craftmanship.
i love it all. the sculptural elements, the lines, the angular elements. love it.
after stumbling across his work, in a magazine, in the background of a feature on two fashion designers, in their home. i set about finding more about this work.
and to my surprise, the amount of work is limited. the artist quite unpublished and unexposed.
in a way, its still raw and fresh, and even more exciting.

clarkehopkinsclarke + john leung
The collaboration between John Leung and clarehopkinsclarke architects resulting in this isometric bookshelf is a fine example of design having both practical and illusive attributes.
The trickery created through this optical illusion of lines, represented through metal lines, plays with the idea of 3D elements and the affect of lines of the eye, and the viewers position with the object. The relativity of the object and the objectifier, are what determine the experience.
The power of the line, yet again, prevails and plays again.
