Tip 5 — week 25, 2024
What’s this?
These are some of the most interesting and beautiful things that we talked about at our studio this week. We show you the stuff that we have come across on instagram, the web or in real life and that inspires and excites us. And yes, sometimes we mingle in our own projects. We enjoy sharing it with our friends, colleagues and anyone interested. Below this week’s 5 tips, here our collected overview.
1: Extruuuuude
Floris Wubben’s Brick Project explores the creative potential of bricks, a fundamental yet often understated element of architecture. His Instagram features cool videos of his production process. He showed them at a wonderful looking show at The Future Perfect NYC.
2: 9-eyes
Jon Rafman’s Nine Eyes of Google Street View is a cool curated project of (unintended) photographic art that was created by Google Maps cameras. Click this to see how wild this project is💥. Also: through this project we came across the Net-Art archive. Its mission: Retelling the history of net art from the 1980s to the 2010s.
3: Brutal design
Sam Chermayeff Office’s work believes that architecture can make things happen and that things can happen to architecture. Sounds cool, looks even better.
4: Brutal plants
Olivia Broome runs the Brutalist Plants Instagram account that shows exactly what the name suggests. Now collected in a book at Hoxton Press ❤️. While on the subject of brutalism: Goldstein Lautner & Jamie McGregor Smith.
5: Cardboard pottery
Jacques Monneraud’s approach to pottery and hand-made stoneware objects is cool. We were triggered by his cardboard-looking objects, but then we saw his Roland Garos’ trophy post on Instagram: wow!!
