It’s been a bit since we did an OtR post and we’ve got some cool links stacking up here at the BUILD World Headquarters; here’s all the stuff we’ve been looking to for inspiration lately.
DESIGNing
The “apple bowl” dish design by Grant Achatz for restaurant Alinea in Chicago is brilliant
-thanks to Corby
ARCHITECTing
Head on over to Smith, where owner Todd Smith is an architect and photographer. Both his designs and shots have that gritty northwest flavor that we’re always seeking out.
-thanks to Todd and Brad for the intro
PHOTOGRAPHing
Check out the work of Doug Scott, he’s got a great eye for light and color and we think his photos really bring buildings into a whole new perspective.
-thanks to Doug
Our senior field correspondent, Josiah Johnson, has been hard at work in the field – tracking down cool architecture and getting the scoop on modern design. Here’s the low-down;
FABRICATing Associated Fabrication is a full-service digital fabrication and architectural millwork company serving architects, contractors, furniture makers, artists and students in New York City. AF is working with the who’s who of NYC and checking out their work should be on your to do list.
BUILDing
The work coming out of the graypants studio just about knocked the drink out of our hands it is so refreshing, raw and well, just plain cool. These guys are thinking, drawing, making and promoting; they’re doing good architect work. Get your eyeballs on this stuff and go check out their site.
-thanks to Seth
WATCHing
If you haven’t yet watched the spectacular short film titled The Third & The Seventh by Alex Roman, then sit your tail down and hit play. This extremely well executed film sheds light on why most of us went into design.
-thanks to Mike & Josiah
