Eamestatic.
Weekends have been filled with the whimsy and brilliance of Ray and Charles Eames. Last weekend Braden and I went to the Eames House (Case Study #8) and today I went to the Herman Miller studio.

Layered.
From a New York Times Article: "At Lever House Lobby, is a more eye-grabbing sculpture by Tara Donovan. Ms. Donovan's untitled piece consists of 2,500 pounds of plastic sheeting loosely folded into a wide box that is glassed in on the front and back and built into a freestanding white wall."

We Moved!
Sort of... my bed won't be there till tuesday and we won't have hot water till friday. We love it though and it's quickly coming together! We couldn't have moved without my parents and my boo Juliette. We went on a post moving outing to Little Dom's.

Does it make sense?
We looked at this poster today in Comm. "April Greiman developed a new design approach and, in 1986 she used the Macintosh computer's rudimentary capabilities to create an issue of the journal Design Quarterly, entitled Does it make sense? This notable issue has since become one of the key staging posts in the evolution of graphic design. She re-imagined the magazine as a poster that folded out to almost 3x6 feet. It contained a life-size, MacVision-generated image of her outstretched naked body adorned with symbolic images and text— a provocative gesture which emphatically countered the objective, rational and masculine tendencies of modernist design."
Roy McMakin.
My teacher Adam, who I TA for, told me about architect/ artist Roy McMakin. His work combines both traditional and modern elements. A lot of his furniture pieces are very interesting because they are simultaneously utilitarian and sculptural.
