My internet has been down for almost a week. Bandwidth, as impossible as it may seem, was exceeded and I am stuck at 64k/b for just one more day. It is a pain. Especially so when I realise how much of my life depends on the web and how spoilt I’ve become by the luxury of the speed I’m used to.
Which explains the lack of updates, I suppose for this time round. Nevertheless, here are a few gems I’ve picked off the web this past week.
Technorama Facade
Amazing Science Centre in Switzerland designed by Ned Kahn. The layer of the outer building wall is layered with thousands of aluminium panels that move with the wind.
C.S. Lewis Signature Series
Found this at Book Cover Archive Blog. Simple yet beautiful designs. I am a huge sucker for book covers and as good as a book may get, I won’t usually pick one up unless it has a pretty cover. Superficial, I know. But I can’t help it. And I’ve been avoiding C.S. Lewis’ books for a while now simply due to a lack of incentive. This, now, I feel motivated to read.
What Goes Around Comes Around
Big Ant International designed four posters including the above for a campaign against the war in Iraq. Some of the cleverest, thought-provoking designs I’ve seen.
There are a couple more posts too, I’d like to put up. One of an illustration by one of my best friends, and another, the coolest wedding idea I’ve ever seen. But I think I need some permission for those ones first, so I’ll have to put them on hold for now.
Until I do.
