Bricolage

This is his commonplace book-- a collection of texts and images, his snippets of moments, a journal on books, film, tv series, places, and music, a notebook on pop culture, literature, and theory. Welcome to his narrative, the pieces of his perpetual becoming. There is no one Kevin Mizon; he is many.

Mod meets 19th century in the bedroom where a midcentury desk and chair sit next to the bed and a metallic lampshade hangs from an ornate ceiling plate.

Eames House Charles and Ray Eames

The Eames House, Case Study House #8, was one of roughly two dozen homes built as part of The Case Study House Program. Begun in the mid-1940s and continuing through the early 1960s, the program was spearheaded by John Entenza, the publisher of Arts and Architecture magazine.In a challenge to the architectural community, the magazine announced that it would be the client for a series of homes designed to express man’s life in the modern world. These homes were to be built and furnished using materials and techniques derived from the experiences of the Second World War. Each home would be for a real or hypothetical client taking into consideration their particular housing needs.

The first plan of the Eameses’ home, known as the Bridge House, was designed in 1945 by Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen. The design used pre-fabricated materials ordered from catalogues, a continuation of the idea of mass-production. Charles and Ray moved into the House on Christmas Eve, 1949, and lived there for the rest of their lives.  The interior, its objects and its collections remain very much the way they were in Charles and Ray’s lifetimes.  The house they created offered them a space where work, play, life, and nature co-existed.

Kazuo Shinohara (April 2, 1925 – July 15, 2006) was a highly influential Japanese architect who formed what is now widely known as the “Shinohara School”, which has been linked to the works of Toyo Ito, Kazunari Sakamoto and Itsuko Hasegawa. As architectural critic Thomas Daniell put it, “A key figure who explicitly rejected Western influences yet appears on almost every branch of the family tree of contemporary Japanese architecture… is Kazuo Shinohara… His effects on the discipline as a theorist, designer and teacher have been immense.”

Designed for a young couple in a quiet Tokyo neighborhood, the 914 square-foot transparent house contrasts the typical concrete block walls seen in most of Japan’s dense residential areas. Associated with the concept of living within a tree, the spacious interior is comprised of 21 individual floor plates, all situated at various heights, that satisfy the clients desire to live as nomads within their own home.

Sou Fujimoto states, “The intriguing point of a tree is that these places are not hermetically isolated but are connected to one another in its unique relativity. To hear one’s voice from across and above, hopping over to another branch, a discussion taking place across branches by members from separate branches. These are some of the moments of richness encountered through such spatially dense living.”

cafe/day is a minimalist cafe located in Shizuoka, Japan, designed by Schemata Architects. The architects held numerous open workshops to make various items for the space; one example includes recycled chairs, instructed by Schemata Architects, that were renewed and thoroughly sanded to expose the inner surface. All chairs regained the same fresh expressions while suggesting their individual characteristics. Lamp shades were made with instruction by Jin Kuramoto; bookshelf units, composed of wooden boxes were made with instruction of Shigeki Fujishiro.
