“Three Cubes Colliding,” an experimental kite made of carbon fiber, aerospace fabric and 3D-printed connectors that challenges notions of airborne architecture.

Loosely Translated:

This is the designer Hubert Vykukal and his spacesuit, the AX-3. This is an intermediate model AX Series, a collection of NASA space suits that cover the 60 and 70 and were the first to incorporate o-rings rotating technology.

This prototype AX-3 in particular weighs 23 kg, with an operating pressure of 0.5 to 0.7 bar and dates from 1977, the same year the Saturday Night Fever mass popular disco music. And it seems that Hubert Vykukal disco has caught the scent of the moment, as shown in the light plataformón boots, apart from the rounded shapes of the joints, which certainly gave him a modern.

As in the diving suits for deep, round shapes were not arbitrary.  A counter measure to be significant pressure on space, the use of spherical shapes able to better distribute the forces is an engineering solution to Hubert Vykukal began introducing their designs.

matthias pliessnig: amada bench

:O

“Pliessnig recently completed ‘amada’, a design for a private client who wanted a large bench flowing through his living space. The piece was designed to direct the sitter to face multiple directions. The seating unit is made entirely of air-dried responsibly harvested white oak that has been steam bent to create the curvaceous form of the bench.”

Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka will exhibit a glass window made of 500 crystal prisms at MUSEUM. beyond museum in Seoul this May.

Called Rainbow Church, the eight metre-high installation will create rainbows within the space as the light is refracted.

The information below is from Tokujin Yoshioka:

Rainbow Church

The idea of this architecture project “Rainbow Church” dates back to when I was in early 20s.

When I was in France for a business trip, I went to Vence, a commune located near Nice. There, I visited the Chapelle du Rosaire, which Henri Matisse, a French painter, created in his last years. I was engrossed in the beauty of the light that the chapel created.

I experienced a space filled with the light of Matisse: Being bathed in the sunlight of the Provence, the stained glass with Matisse’s vibrant colors suffused the room with full of colors. Since then, I had been dreaming of designing an architecture where people can feel the light with all senses.

This dreaming architecture project will be realized as a concept plan at the exhibition held at MUSEUM. beyondmuseum in Seoul from May, 2010. The exhibition is planned to last until the end of June. A 8-meter-high stained glass made with approximately 500 crystal prisms will be filling the space with rainbow colors as the light shines on it.

I’ve always wanted one of these, or a Sony PS-F5, or it’s little bro the PS-F9.

Retro Thing: Sound Burger: Vintage Portable Turntable

“The Audio Technica AT-727 Sound Burger ranks as one of the strangest portable audio devices ever produced (until Apple introduces the vacuum tube iPod, that is). This little turntable was obviously designed in response to the emergence of Sony’s incredibly popular Walkman. It even came with those oh-so-popular little fuzzy earbud headphones.

The battery powered Sound Burger can handle 45 and 33 1/3 RPM records. Just don’t expect to go jogging with this thing — it’ll only function properly on a solid surface. The turntable (if you can call it that) is belt driven, but replacement belts and stylus cartridges are still available. This little device has an almost mythic reputation for high-quality sound, so expect to pay a silly amount for one in good condition.”

ALT/1977: WE ARE NOT TIME TRAVELERS on the Behance Network

“…The Korean artist Kim Joon uses the whole body and the most varied colors. And goes further on: he groups masculine or feminine bodies intertwined in sensual positions over which he designs continuous patterns which are fused in a unique corporal mass, subdued by the design and color…”

I always enjoy logos whose design is a cue for the product or service it represents, and this concept is a perfect example.

“Turns out it’s a very simple process and we had the perfect wall in the backyard so we gave it a go. Cheap, easy and interesting garden decorations, we’d recommend this to anyone who has the space”
