codex seraphinianus


"in the late 70s italian architect, illustrator and industrial designer luigi serafini made a book, an encyclopedia of unknown, parallel world. it’s about 360-380 pages. it is written in an unknown language, using an unknown alphabet. it took him 30 month to complete that masterpiece that many might call “the strangest book on earth”. codex seraphinianus is divided to 11 chapters and two parts - first one is about nature and the second one is about people.
btw five hundred years ago there was another book somewhat like that - voynich manuscript."

Norm Applebaum Architect, AIA - Riegel/Gillespie the wedge

"The architecture has been designed with a 3D model created from the client-approved floor plan. The exterior elevations, sections, framing and foundation are scale-drawn from the model. The approved model is sent to the structural engineer, and then taken to the site with the working drawings for the finished construction sequence."

Lots of inspiring people, a few weirdos and some genies. Got truly amazed by the thoughts, engineering and graphics of Aristide Antonas (below are stills from the documentry of Antonas work).

forgotten process sketches

found a couple of nice pages in my sketchbook from the unsuccessful pavilion competition earlier this year. They are all done while commuting by bus, hence the nice vibration on the lines, hehe
