Girls Made Out of Butter
At the MN State Fair (yeah, we went) the dairy-feed Midwestern lass who wins the Princess Kay of the Milky Way title gets her likeness sculpted in butter.
MN: taking back the (terrible) term butter face.
“British artist Keira Rathbone uses typewriters, instead of brushes and pencils, to create amazing portraits and drawings.”
Damn, simply amazing
Reading Between the Lines (Gijs Van Vaerenbergh)
Never have I seen 30 tons of steel appear so delicate. If we end up getting married in Belgium, this will be the spot.
Just FYI.
Mad Architects has sent us images of a new project, urban forest, located in chongqing, china.
drawing on the mountainous landscape of the country, the commercial high-rise building,
is made up of curved, abstracted shaped floors which have been layered slightly off-center
from one another. connected by a core cylindrical structure, each level’s interior is
protected by full length glass windows with a see-through, wrap around balcony.
this provides transparency throughout the building, and makes the floors almost seem as if
they are floating on top of one another. the overall design brings together nature and the
urban metropolis, with the incorporation of green space and large expansive views of the city.
