“A Million Times” is a new project by humans since 1982. It’s similar to their The Clock Clock project, this time they’ve used 288 clocks which can be controlled by an iPad. We’ve seen stuff like this before, but it’s still mesmerizing.

Love the simplistic way of seeing architecture and trash cans. By Aakash Nihalani (his website worth the click !)

THOSE blankets for Christmas ! It looks a lot like our traditionnal arrowed metis sash.
Oslo designer Andreas Engesvik has created a series of blankets inspired by the textiles of Norwegian folk costumes. Bunader are traditional costumes with roots in rural clothes from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and Andreas Engesvik worked with Norwegian manufacturer Mandal Veveri to make the wool Bunad Blankets. They’re based on motifs from five different regions in Norway: Setesdal, Nordland, Fusa, Bringeklut and Sunnmøre.
“Mandal Veveri also had the complete recipes for all types Bunads which made it easy for us to be exact,” Engesvik told Dezeen. “All the colours are exactly the same as on the bunads,” he continued. “We did a lot of fine tuning off course, and we had to choose eight colours for every blanket as this is the limit for the Jaquard machine. The bunad is one of the most visible and known traditions in Norwegian cultural heritage; the garment is a significant cultural carrier and is central to the passing on of Norwegian handicraft traditions,” he added.
Andreas Engesvik is an alumni of University of Bergen and the National College of Art and Design Norway. He was co-founder of Norway Says in 2000 and founded his own studio in Oslo in 2009. He has previously featured on Dezeen with his coloured screens in collaboration with Norwegian designer Daniel Rybakken.

Okay, I know, a 40 minutes video… But seriously, this is truly amazing. The evolution of the thoughts of this guy, Ron Resch… He totally impress me. his way to always go further with his ideas… This is what we call creativity, this is what we can do when we push our brains, and this is also the beginning of computerisation. This 4o minutes truly worth it. Wow. Geometry and patterns enthousiasts will be blown away.

Here is a short video of the graduation project of Daniel Disselkoen, at the Royal Academy of Arts (UK). A very simple and fun way to upgrade a boring bus/tramway ride.
For four years, each day I took the same tram to art academy. Why would you then look out the window with curiosity when there is no reason to expect anything new. I decided to change the daily journey for my fellow passengers and myself. I wouldn’t move the tramway track, but maybe I could add something. Make something so that what already exists would look very different now.
Voici les dernière images de notre projet Tisse Métis Égal, par PLUX.5, qui a été présenté tout l’été à la Place de la Dauversière à Montréal.
Le pavillon Tisse Métis Égal est un prétexte à la redécouverte urbaine du Vieux-Montréal, à l’observation en surplomb des passants derrière un filtre rose ludique et magnifiant. Le belvédère propose en trame de fond une appropriation architecturale du tissage traditionnel québécois, une exploration contemporaine du motif de la ceinture fléchée. Le tissage de chevrons se compose et se décompose au fil du temps, incluant le visiteur dans son maillage par la superposition d’ombrages triangulaires et de réflexions colorées.
L’évènement Métis-sur-Montréal permet chaque année à des architectes, des paysagistes et des artistes de présenter un projet original sur l’étendue gazonnée voisine au Château Ramezay, au cœur du Vieux-Montréal. Tisse Métis Égal est le premier pavillon architectural à prendre place sur ce site. L’installation de cette année a été créée afin de commémorer le 50e anniversaire de l’ouverture au public des Jardins de Métis et le 150e anniversaire de la création de la Société d’archéologie et de numismatique de Montréal, fondatrice du Château Ramezay – Musée et site historique de Montréal.

Here are the new pics of our last project, Tisse Métis Égal, by our architectural collective PLUX.5.
Erected in the heart of the historical district, this contemporary installation acts as a bright coloured filter that transforms our perception of the surrounding environment. Its walls, perforated with a scatter of triangular patterns — cleverly evocative of traditional weaving, particularly the ornamentation of the arrowhead sash— draw a striking parallel with Québec’s past. Inside, visitors are immersed in a play of shadows and light that shapes their understanding of the work and its surrounding elements. Tisse Métis Égal is a tribute to Québec history, offering an interpretation of its traditions through a contemporary lens.
The installation was created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the opening to the public of the Reford Gardens and the 150th anniversary of the creation of the Antiquarian and Numismatic Society of Montréal (ANSM), the founder of Château Ramezay– Historic Site and Museum of Montréal.

Juri Suzuki made this “Tube Map Radio”during the designers in residence program at the Design Museum London. He placed all the components of a radio on one printed circuit board, which looks just like the iconic London underground map diagram by Harry Beck.
