Prints and Objects - Robert Strati
“Robert Strati’s prints are made using Adobe Illustrator and printed digitally. They are explorations of diagrammatic representations. Arranged in different patterns, these simple points, lines and planes represent a vast array of differing information, such as musical notation, architectural schematics and celestial mappings, all of which are made from the same fundamental elements.”

More: “Lucky” Statue
Created by Mexico-based British sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor, the Caribbean installation is intended to eventually cover more than 4,520 square feet (420 square meters), which would make it “one of the largest and most ambitious underwater attractions in the world,” according to a museum statement.

Lucky “Statue”
The people in “The Silent Evolution” were created from live casts of a wide sample of people, most of them locals—including Lucky, a Mexican carpenter (center), according to Taylor.
The characters range in age from a 3-year-old boy, Santiago, to an 85-year-old nun, Rosario (both not pictured), and include an accountant, yoga instructor, and acrobat, among others.
The tight gathering of people is meant to illustrate “how we are all facing serious questions concerning our environment and our impact on the natural world,” according to a museum statement.
a21house by a21studio - Vietnam
“Every morning, the first thing that I would like to have is drawing first lines in a comfortable and joyful mind. I used to dream of an office-house for not travelling in a frequent traffic-jam and highly polluted place like Hochiminh City. I do not reluctantly think of green, environmentally sustainable or eco- architecture….
I simply want our studio like a wild-cage which is bathed in sunlight, inundated by rain-water, fully surrounded by tree… and non-frontier space … And we are like wild beasts in cage, stay temporary momentary but thirst for living.”

1,000 recycled doors are enough for the South Korean architect Choi Jeong-Hwa to transform a dull ten-story building into a fresh-looking landmark. This ‘skyscraper’ in the center of the Korean capital Seoul has become a pixelated landmark, that tells the story of thousand people who once chose a fitting color for a door in their apartment.
