Brutalism in Ruins: Exploring Casa Sperimentale, Italy’s Lost Architectural Relic. As far back as the 18th century, people have been fascinated with ruins as picturesque compositions, but our collective obsession with the shells of forgotten architecture is not limited to quaint abbeys, run-down warehouses, and rural cottages. In the town of Fregene on the outskirts of Rome, Italy, photographer and urban explorer Oliver Astrologo has been documenting a very different kind of deteriorated building: architect Giuseppe Perugini’s Casa Sperimentale (experimental house), a wild, eclectic ode to Brutalism that is slowly crumbling away on a wooded plot near the coast. The architect built the house in the late 1960s as a way to explore ideas pertaining to form and space at a 1:1 scale.

Perugini passed away in 1995, and, for the past 20 years, the house has been left to deteriorate, steadily overwhelmed by plant life, and vandalized with graffiti.

Ludwig Rensch. Paper Perfection: 12 Notebooks for Architects and Designers. Charles Eames was onto something when he said: “The details are not the details. They make the design.” When it comes to notebooks, Eames’ wisdom holds true. Designers tend to be picky and uncompromisingly detail-oriented and know that the perfect balance between aesthetics, functionality and comfort really matter in a notebook.

While technology has brought us many incredible sketching tools, paper still tends to reign supreme as a repository for some of our best ideas. For those of you who agree that a run-of-the-mill notebook just isn’t going to cut it, here is a handpicked selection of designer-worthy notebooks, sketchbooks and journals.

An encounter For this project, Véronique Vienne went to meet 12 designers, men and women, from 12 different countries (Lebanon, South Korea, Brazil, Switzerland, USA, Finland…). These designers have very different backgrounds (poster creators, directors of advertising agencies, typographers…) and they represent the myriad tendencies and trends in graphic design today.

Whether they are stars or see themselves more as craftspersons, whether they are artists serving their art or advertisers serving business, they all have something in common : a strong personality and a sharp, personal vision of their profession and the way they approach it. Véronique Vienne guides us through their universe, their studios, their offices, be they in Manhattan or tucked away in a courtyard near to Montmartre, surrounded by books, papers, posters or their digital projects.

BoredPanda Staff. He Was Tired Of Looking At Boring Office Walls, So He Bought 9,000 Post-It Notes. The Result Is Amazing. April 1, 2015 One day I just got so tired of how sterile and boring our office felt, I thought I should do something about it. imgur As you can see, the walls are pretty plain, but that meant I had a lot of space to work with.

I realized that painting would take a long time, and would be difficult to remove (I had the building facilities department to worry about), so I landed on Post-Its as a semi-cheap and fully temporary solution. I wanted something colorful, playful, and inspiring. Eventually, he suggested superheroes. Superheroes are strong and inspiring figures. Some wonderful people in my office volunteered to come in over the weekend to help install the mural. The finished piece! And here's a quick 44 second timelapse video of the process.

Tiny House Tales: Welcome To My 200-Square-Foot 'Dream' Home. Tiny House Movement comes to Aylmer (with video) Martin Bisson is a firm believer that good things come in small packages and he plans to prove it with the unveiling of the Lumbec Tiny House at next weekend’s Cottage & Backyard Show. Owner of Lumbec, a small construction company in Aylmer specializing in garden sheds, gazebos and backyard decks, Bisson spent months fine-tuning the layout of the 225-square-foot prototype designed for a couple.

Despite its compact size — it’s only 8.6 feet wide and 16 feet long — the skilled carpenter insists his house on wheels has all the comforts of a larger home. “By building this prototype, we want to show Canadians it’s possible to live in a smaller house, but still have everything we need,” says Bisson, 36, whose design includes a loft bedroom with a king-size bed, a bathroom with a standup shower and a galley kitchen with a gas stove. “Our goal is to show what the size looks like.” Construction of the Lumbec Tiny House started in February inside the company workshop in Aylmer’s industrial park.

This weekend we were doing bubble activities galore: playing and printing with bubbles. Cassie enjoyed both. What inspired us to do this was when we were at friend's house and they had Crayola Colored Bubbles. When you play with these bubbles they actually are colors. This was cool, but I will warn you that these colors get all over clothes and pavement/patios. Even though they are washable I would still wear old clothes. Well, we tried to make these bubbles with paint and it didn't work. First you need some water, tempera paint, and dish soap. We mixed about a 1/2 cup of water, 2 Tablespoons of paint, and a few squirts of dish soap in each container.

Then add a straw to each container and make sure you blow into the mixture. Once you have a huge bubble foam on the top of the container you are ready to lay a paper on top to print the bubbles. Here is our best bubble print.... we made lots and lots. I made the bubble prints into cards. Now back to blowing bubbles and trying to catch them.

Note: I DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ALDER MANOR AND WEDDINGS!!

I receive emails daily complaining about a lack of response for weddings, and I just don’t understand the situation. Very sorry! It sits on a hill just outside of New York City, completely empty and, for years, decaying and nearly forgotten… This is Alder Manor, and it’s without question one of the most amazing places I’ve ever had the pleasure of scouting. Built in 1912 by William Boyce Thompson, an extremely successful copper magnate, his plan was for a 72-room country estate for entertaining (he lived in New York City at the time) on 22 acres of hilltop land in then rural Yonkers.

After both he and his wife died, the mansion was traded between owners who had no use for it and eventually wound up abandoned. Reverse of the main hall.
