Graphic Design Examples Worldwide: How Nationality Reflects In Artworks Part 2 You asked for more, so you got it. We’ve covered Latin American, Middle Eastern, Dutch, Chinese and Japanese graphic design. It was a beautiful introduction to art from our brothers who speak different tongues.

Inspired Magazine - daily graphic design inspiration Do Not Touch David Spriggs, la pintura como escultura By Published: December 19, 2011 Posted in: Enfoque Abierto Tags: David Spriggs , Escultura , instalación , pintura ¿Alguien recuerda su clase de geografía de secundaria donde nos hablan de los mapas topográficos ?

Peter Thiel: We’re in a Bubble and It’s Not the Internet. It’s Higher Education. Fair warning: This article will piss off a lot of you. I can say that with confidence because it’s about Peter Thiel.

grain edit · modern graphic design inspiration blog + vintage graphics resource Boston Truth Revealed [Proyecto humanitario] Bambú, hojas y materiales reciclados Blooming Bamboo es la propuesta de H&P Architects para un área desfavorecido con bruscos cambios climáticos situado en el centro de Vietnam. Consiste en un proyecto que actualmente está en fase de prueba y que tiene como objetivo crear unos módulos de bajo costes que pueden responder a las necesidades de los vietnameses que viven en condiciones pobres, además de resistir a las inundaciones habituales en el país asiático. Utilizando únicamente bambú, hojas y materiales reciclados como contenedores de plástico y tanques de petrolea, se han creado unidades modulares que pueden servir tanto como residencias que como escuela o centro de salud. Los módulos que sólo usan materiales locales además resisten a las diluvias y pueden flotar fácilmente durante las inundaciones. Su bajo precio entre 1.500 y 2.000 dólares americanos permiten la construcción en masa y la autoconstrucción por parte de los habitantes mismos. Has visto:
