The Art of Ray Morimura

Ray Morimura is a graduate of Tokyo Gakugei University, where he studied oil painting. Originally his works were geometric-style abstractions. But later he was inspired by Shigeru Hatsuyama and Sumio Kawakami, and began to study woodblock techniques. Unlike most other Japanese woodblock printmakers, he uses oil-based inks to create these detailed images.

His technique is to carve both 6mm thick plywood blocks and 3mm thick blocks laminated with P-tile, a flooring material. The “linocut” process permits quite complex designs, which are printed on mulberry bark kozo paper. Essentially each color requires a separate block, and separate inking. Some blocks are printed with solid colors, while others include bokashi or a gradation of color. Of his work, Morimura says “printing demands total concentration as a single hair or dust can ruin a print. I usually clean my studio thoroughly and wait to begin the printing process until after midnight when it is quiet. With prints one can never be certain of the outcome until the final print is completed. There is always the unexpected, which makes it all the more intriguing. As with Zen and ink paintings, I hope something spiritual, in a contemporary sense, can be expressed in these landscape works.”

The Farnsworth House, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1946 for his client, Dr Edith Farnsworth, is seminal. It asserted America as the pre-eminent home of modernism after the war.

La tectónica, definida como la construcción en base a respetar la nobleza del material, siempre une profundamente una obra con su ubicación; la hace pertinente y la adecúa en muchos niveles. El interesante contraste entre un diseño de geometría fuerte, abstracta, y su materialización en base a materiales vernaculares es una de las puntas de lanza del diseño arquitectónico de estos tiempos. Y cuando además el terreno, con su topografía, forma parte del proyecto, termina por convertir a la obra en parte del paisaje en que se inserta.

Income Inequality in Chicago by Herwig Scherabon

he images are abstract diagrams of these cities and show a high resolution matrix of blocks. The height of these blocks corresponds to the income in the respective output area. The resolution of the grid is smaller than the actual census tracts, in order to retain the visual footprint of the city’s street-grid.

Lombard Street is known as one of the most crookedest street in the world, alongside Vermont street which is also in San Francisco. Vermont street is steeper but has fewer turns.

#nextarch by @alice.rawsthorn #next_top_architects Design in the Woods - 7. Perched among the silver birches in the miles of forest near the village of Harads on the Lule River in northern Sweden are the rooms of the Treehotel. Each room is a singular structure, but they are all hoisted high above the ground with magnificent views through the trees. All of the rooms, and the rest of the hotel, were designed and built to have as little impact on their natural surroundings as possible. One room adopts the futuristic form of its name, The UFO, as does another, The Mirrorcube. The Cabin is a utilitarian box, and my favourite, The Bird’s Nest, is hidden inside a tangle of branches, just like the twigs in its namesake. #design #designinthewoods #treehotel #harads #thebirdsnest
