Atelier Van Lieshout

Some of his design is a bit to much, but I still love it. Van Lieshout is very original... I recomend his website: http://www.ateliervanlieshout.com/ for inspiration... or just for fun! 

One of his original design...

Childrens by Steve McCurry

The photographer and journalist Steve McCurry started focusing on the series ”Children” nearly 20 years ago. Afer having worked and traveled throughout the world, this renowned artist has captured the many corners of the globe looks of children.

McCurry’s images are unique street portraits: unstylized and unposed snapshots of people that reveal the universality of human emotion. 

They are all very compelling, unforgettable and moving!

Great small apartment...

Love this idea...
Excellent way to transform a small, dark, ugly apartment into something GREAT!



Well as he says you can not collect many things or be obsessed with things because of course this is very small apartment... but I love the idea! Great use of space and he has everything he needs.

Theo Jansen

Theo jansen came to IaaC last week.

It was very impressive! Theo is quite an interesting man and has a lot to tell! 

His sandbeests, that he has been working on all his life... or at least last 20 years... is an simple but incredibly great design... 

Watch this video... explains a bit his work! 

Here is his website! http://www.strandbeest.com/ really something to have a look at!


He explains everything... anyone interested can make one! And he confirmed that he loves when people reproduce his work! It was the animal reproducing it self through the humans!

BIG

Im sure that every architect lover knows by now the Danish architect firm BIG. Founder of that firm is Bjarke Ingles. He studied in Barcelona and in Copenhagen... you can find his CV on their website... 

This firm is very interesting and innovative and it is very much worth it to go through their presentations in search for inspiration!

These images are form their presentation for driverless car from audi.
