"I'm down on my mind / I'm building a city..."

-"lost in the world" on my beautiful dark twisted fantasy (2010)

In starchitecture news...

  rapper kanye west has revealed he is frustrated he's not taken seriously as a "real designer" and that he plans to move into architecture.

In an interview on BBC radio, west spoke to dj zane lowe about how he wants to expand his creative field beyond music and fashion.

"I want to do product, I am a product person," said west. "not just clothing but water bottle design, architecture... I make music but I shouldn't be limited to once place of creativity."

the interview was originally intended to be about his latest album yeezus, but west spoke about his creative passions and ambition throughout: "I hang around architects mostly," he said. "people that wanna make things as dope as possible."

"I'm learning what I want," he said. "this is the reason why I'm working with five architects at a time. the time spent in a bad apartment, I can't get that back. but the education I can get from working on it is priceless."

west has already established himself as a fashion designer, having released his air yeezy trainers for nike in 2009 and showed his dw kanye west womenswear collections at paris fashion week. "I spend 80% of my time on [fashion design] and 20% of my time on music," he explained.

he said he started designing trainers at the age of five: "I've got a very particular specific take on men's footwear. no one can say I can't design or don't know how to design a guy's sneaker."

west vented his frustration that as a musician he is not taken seriously in the fashion world. "I'm so frustrated," he said. "I've got ideas on colour palettes, I've got ideas on silhouettes. I've got a million people telling me why I can't do it, that I'm not a real designer."

design collaborations he mentioned included his watch the throne tour set design with production designer es devlin and the pyramid-shaped cinema by architects OMA, where his first short film was screened at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.

west announced he was to launch his own design company named DONDA early last year and hoped to assemble a team of architects, designers and directors to work with him.*

"You Don't Have To Be Polite to Succeed"

  "Zaha Hadid, the Iraqi-British architect known for her futuristic buildings, has partnered with United Nude's creative director, architect Rem D. Koolhaas (the nephew of the great Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas), on some insane, space-age heels.

The 6.25-inch NOVA heels appear to be heelless, but the architect claims to have engineered a comfortable shoe that you won't topple over in. The materials are equally creative, with the outside of the shoe using metallic chromed vinyl rubber in either silver, black, or rose gold. The result looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. The sole is rubber and contains a hidden platform and heel made of fiberglass, while luxurious Italian nappa leather lines the shoe's interior."

though hard to reach - ceilings have long been seen as the beneficiary of artistic design. 

there's the sistine chapel ceiling, the ceiling of the hall of mirrors at the legendary versailles, and the dome of the library of congress - just to name a few...

but it's not just palaces and government buildings that are giving special attention to the surfaces overhead.  such radiance can also be found in private homes around the world and suprisingly even the united states.

fashion archy's... meet your new favorite perfume bottle!

legendary fashion designer, donna karen, has a perfume bottle that was designed by famed zaha hadid.  lets just hope it smells as good as it looks!

"A curving, fluid-seeming container made of ombré charcoal glass, Hadid’s design makes for a shape that is distinctly sexy. “The bottle’s dark, translucent qualities offer a sense of mystery that awakens our curiosity,” the Pritzker Prize winner explains. The vessel, whose sensuous lines echo the bottle that Karan’s late husband, sculptor Stephan Weiss, designed for her 1994 scent Cashmere Mist, is sure to awaken many." — architecturaldigest.com

Architecture is a beautiful thing. Creating lavish and intricate buildings, is probably the first thing you think of when you hear the word Architecture. But Architecture is involved in almost everything that is unique built, designed, drawn, etc. Maybe this lesson comes from my sisters who are...
