Topo House Johnsen Schmaling Architects 

"Located in Wisconsin’s “driftless region”, a landscape of softly rolling hills, the house develops its form out of the site’s distinct topography.  The program is organized in two parallel bars that form a low-slung volume and shift against each other to create protected outdoor rooms, patios, and courtyards.  The building’s roof is a meticulously detailed ribbon that peels itself up from the ground and extends the adjacent fields as a green carpet over the lower part of the house.  From here, the folding roof plane slowly rises over the upper bar and turns into a dramatic cantilever protecting the vista terrace from the elements.  The facade is composed of a system of wood boards and CNC-milled aluminum battens whose shifting geometry subverts the volumetric purity of the house itself."

The most amazing thing, to me, is when people try to pretend that they have expertise when they actually know very little. This is an epidemic in UX. And like any good vaccine, I have to infect you with a small dose so you can kill it in real life. So here is my guide to how it’s done.

Search!!!!

Everyone, we’re delighted to show off a feature that we’ve been hard at work on for the last few months and badly addicted to for the last few weeks.

The new Tumblr Search has been rebuilt, front to back, to help explore all of your 65 billion(!) posts.

Here are a few of the big additions to check out:

You can now use multiple #tags in a single query to find all that #hello kitty #nail art.

Searching for “government shutdown” now returns posts tagged #government shutdown or that mention ”government shutdown”. Searching “#government shutdown” will limit the results to posts with that #tag.

You’ll now see related blogs in your search results.

Use the new Filter menu to filter by post type!

And in an effort to make the explicit content filter more transparent (and less confusing), we’ve moved the option right to the search results page. We’ve also been able to use this smarter filtering to unblock innocuous keywords in our apps that used to be prohibited by app store policies. #reaction gif #happy!

Please take the new search for a spin! (And let us know if you catch it acting up.)

Zipper Art

Jun Kitagawa creates all kinds of playful art in public spaces. The Japanese artist was first discovered when he wanted to get rid of an excess of t-shirts, so, he went around town placing them on human statues. Unknowingly, he had just completed his first installation.
