fab lab sd

i recently caught wind of the fab lab in san diego.  MIT & Heads on Fire collaborated in 2007 to create an advanced digital design and fabrication studio.  A creative outlet for students and the community, the Fab Lab gives people the tools to create..well, 'almost anything'!  i love the whole idea behind this - are they hiring?

Contemporary Days: The Designs of Lucienne & Robin Day from Design Onscreen on Vimeo.

SO glad I stumbled upon this video over at ModernGrassRoots.  How did I not know about this fabulous design couple?!  I'm going to make a call to my Arch History professor....

i helped organize a screening of Climate Refugees as part of C4's Emerging Green Professionals.  Check out the trailer here and check out the full length feature this Sunday (visit our Facebook page for more information).  Should be an easy, fun event for everyone!  See you there!

here's a sneak peek of carbon nation, the movie!  i got wind of this through a friend of a friend of the producer... and i can think of a few people (in my office, eh hem!) that don't believe in climate change.  we might try and set up a showing in town for C4 - maybe i should invite them!

Vilhelmsro School by BIG

BIG seems to be the "it" firm of 2010.  Their new K-12 school certainly shows us why.

b just shared this video with me.... a 16 minute clip of marilyn neuhart discussing her new book "the story of eames furniture".  i can't wait to make this book a part of my home library....

profile: eames

I'm reading An Eames Primer and am fully in awe of this "power couple".  Beyond their contributions to architecture (Case Study House #8), furniture (Eames Lounge Chair) and other mediums such as film, this book gives insight to their personal relationship.  Ray & Charles, together, were purely magic in both the personal and professional realms.

Best book I have read in a long long time - can hardly put it down...
