Book store owners and record store owners used to be oracles, in that way; you’d go in this dusty old place and they might point you toward something that would change your life. All that’s gone.
My latest post for Aqua-Velvet, Bucky Fuller’s forward-thinking Dymaxion House. Conceived to provide modular and accessible prefab housing. Mass production of the house never reached fruition, only one exists today.
Wrong Side of the Art is a well-organized database of large, clear images of movie posters in all sorts of disreputable genres. Highly, highly recommended.
More Kate Banazi goodness… She has a show in January in Sydney, can someone go for me and then buy it all for me! (via how now brown cow: Exhibition Starts)
Kitchen of the future? The Microbial Home Project by Philips, a domestic ecosystem that challenges conventional design solutions to energy, cleaning, food preservation, lighting and human waste.
I’m ready for this kitchen, just need lab coat and test tubes to complete the look.

Who Left A Tree, Then A Coffin In The Library?
Who is leaving masterful paper sculptures in this library?
“Last spring, Julie Johnstone, a librarian at the Scottish Poetry Library in Edinburgh, was wandering through a reading room when she saw, sitting alone on a random table, a little tree.
It was made of twisted paper and was mounted on a book.
Gorgeously crafted, it came with a gold-leafed eggshell broken in two, each half filled with little strips of paper with phrases on them. When reassembled properly, the strips became a poem about birds, “A Trace of Wings” by Edwin Morgan.
What was this?”
