Spaceframe Furniture by Gustav Düsing. Gustav Düsing recently graduated from the Architectural Association in London and works for an architecture firm in Berlin. His portfolio of work is interesting to me because the material used, plywood, is so simple as is the method of construction of the pieces and yet they feel complicated and complex. Düsing’s Spaceframe furniture series is a small-scale application of his architectural research within the realm of digital fabrication. Using plywood and CNC machine technology, he transforms 2D drawings into interlocking structures like building blocks that create 3D pieces. Arch group: sleepbox mobile hotel rooms.

MVRDV: glass farm in the netherlands. Glass Farm by MVRDV. This shop and office complex by Dutch architects MVRDV is disguised as an old farmhouse, but its walls and roof are actually made from glass.
The building is located in the market square of small Dutch town Schijndel, where MVRDV partner Winy Maas grew up. The town suffered damages during World War II, and Maas has been campaigning since the 1980s to replace a destroyed structure in the space between the church and the town hall. Thirty years and six failed proposals later, the architects and the town council agreed to develop the site within the traditional building envelope specified by the town planners.
MVRDV reinterpreted this volume in glass, then compiled photographs of traditional local farmhouses by artist Frank van der Salm and created a collage of images to apply to each surface of the facade.
