Le Corbusier and Cathedral Collage

Posted on by Alex Dent

This video was featured on archdaily last week and I was a little disappointed that all of the comments on the post were about how “useless” the video was. Maybe these naysayers would have enjoyed a video about waterproof membrane details better… or hair restoration… but I think they’re kind of missing the point. Clearly, [...]

‘Breukelen’ by Ofa

Posted on by Danica van de Velde

I have never been to Brooklyn, but in my mind it possesses an almost mythic status and encapsulates everything that is holistically artistic, effortlessly cool and divergent from the mainstream.

The show opens on May 5th and will feature paintings, prints, scultpure and animation, so it should be a really fun show. Check out the the little video above he put together which [...]

Chocolate Editions by Mary & Matt

Posted on by Danica van de Velde

To be honest, I don’t need much coaxing to eat sweets, and when confronted with a bar of chocolate that literally invites me to take a bite, I feel it would be terribly impolite to not have a small nibble. Not that you need much convincing to eat one of the delicacies from Chocolate Editions [...]
