AMAZING DESIGN! Becton Dickinson Campus



The Campus Center at BD (Becton Dickinson and Company), a medical technology company that serves healthcare institutions, life science researchers, clinical laboratories, industry and the general public, is a 38,500-square-foot facility that bridges and blurs the boundaries between building/landscape, indoor/outdoor, roof/earth, figure/ground, and the two local business cultures of management/production. Site design focused on sustainability and the sanctity of the open space between the main buildings known as the “Great Lawn.”

Commonwealth “Marble” New Era Caps



Washington based boutique Commonwealth has once again gotten together with New Era. The outcome is the “Marble” series consists of three colorways - seafoam, black and grey. The colors are based on the Omni Pumps that Commonwealth released a couple of years ago in collaboration with Reebok. They are planning on releasing the caps some time later today.

Mercedes Benz AMG 300SL for NIGO Full Look



Originally hinted at a few days ago, NIGO pops the top off of his latest and greatest toy, an iconic Mercedes Benz SL300 Gullwing with a transplanted AMG 6.0L V8 engine. Enthusiasts alike will probably already feel that the modernized powerplant is in itself sacrilegious but Nigo goes one-step further with the trademark Bape camo. The car is set to make a debut at tonight’s Bape Hong Kong 3 Year Anniversary Party.

Elvis Spotted In Bose Ad



A new Bose ad campaign features famous musicians in speaker-drawn portraiture by Nirmalya Chakraborty. Without the Bose logo, they'd make for some great t-shirts.

Blackbird, Fly by Powershovel



The Blackbird,Fly is a 35mm twin reflex camera by PowerShovel/Superheadz of Japan. Powershovel designs toy cameras, these are not reproduced from some old Soviet plans or found in a warehouse somewhere. You can pickup one of these toy cameras in various specialty shops around the US or by mailorder. It takes pretty cool pictures, a BBF Flickr Group has a lot of examples of the results. I love that it uses regular old 35mm film and the exposure frame overlaps the sprockets.

Diamond Supply Co. “Rock” Carabiners



Diamond Supply Co. and their on take on the uniform essential carabiner keychain is seen here as their iconic logo represents the shape of the carabiner. Earning the name the “Rock”, the carabiner comes in black, red and the well-known “Tiffany” aqua blue. No word yet on availability.

Demekin Pocket Fisheye Camera

Sauna & Steam Shower by LineAqua



"Belize" from LineAqua is a wonderful solution for any bathroom to provide day to day hygiene needs while promoting self wellness. This design is a combination Finnish dry sauna and steam shower all in one tidy cabin. The name "Finnish sauna" refers to a small cabin designed for sweating where toxins are released from the body through perspiration. This model is great since it combines the "wet" with the "dry". There are times where I personally want water therapy and other times a dry therapy. Some features in Belize include: chromatherapy lighting, 4 body sprays, sauna stove, rain shower, and FM Radio. The dry sauna cabin is separated from the shower by a sliding door. There is a folding seat in the shower where you can sit and enjoy a shower or the direct massage jets. Measurements: 71" x 48" x 87". Price: $5,000.

Arch Daily Snefjord Road stop / Pushak



The site of the road stop is a paradox. Oftentimes, the hardest winds blow off the sea, and yet the most attractive view is toward the fjord. The obvious response in order to shield tourists from the wind would be to construct a view-blocking wall. Instead three “bench-boxes” prefabricated at a local wharf dot the area, and their differing orientations allow visitors to choose where to sit according to wind and sun conditions.

iPod Coffee Table



Whatever you do, don't call it a music player. This iPod-inspired creation was actually "a project for his A-level Design Technology course and that it took months to complete." Continue reading for one more picture.

TEM, 2004




Each of the three apartments in the complex designed by Makoto Yokomizo Architects in 2004 has a typical floor plan of a Bikers’ Apartment. What makes it unique is that most light inside passes through the translucent roof of the building.

SHITS INSANE!!!! Tare Lugnt Issue Three



Tattoo magazines usually feature a lot of tattoos - as you’d expect. But where do you go from there? Tare Lugnt, a swedish magazine, have gone beyond the call of duty by making their third issue a tattoo. It’s a little extreme, to say the least, but it is an eye catching way of making a magazine. No word yet on what they’ll do for issue four.

Boxed Water: It's What's for Drinking



Boxed milk and juices are a supermarket staple, but one company is now selling boxed water.

Boxed Water Is Better sells water in cartons, ditching the plastic bottles while reducing the overall carbon footprint of packing and distribution by 80%.

20% of the company's profits are passed along to reforestation (10%) and water relief (10%) while you sip on the sweet hydrogen/oxygen nectar of Minnesota and a few parts per billion of paper pulp.

But while Boxed Water is undoubtedly more sustainable than bottled water, I can't help but think the product's absurdity does less to open a new market than close an old one. In other words, Boxed Water is a ridiculous solution to an even more ridiculous problem—that we'd rather buy packaged water than drink it for nearly free out of the tap.

Self-sufficient city planned near Seoul



Rotterdam based architects, MVDRV won the Gwanggyo Power Center Competition with their design of a new self-sufficient city just south of Seoul, South Korea. The plan consists of a series of overgrown hill shaped buildings and will house offices, shops, residences, and educational facilities. These buildings will be interconnected on the lower floors. Concentrating work-play in a common area means reduction in commutes and dependency on auto and transportation systems.

The cluster of building rises up in concentric rings, and each floor is lined with plantations that improve ventilation while reducing energy and water consumption. The roofs and terraces of the buildings will be lined with box hedges. An interal irrigation system stores extra water and sustains these green structures. The site is surrounded by a lake and forrests. The estimated completion of this project is slated for 2011.

Arch Daily Manresa City Hall / Add Bailo Rull



We have understood Manresa as the city that one day settled itself on a hill bordering the river Cardener, in front of Montserrat mountains. The City Hall building stands near the edge of the platform that, occupied by the historic quarter, juts out towards the river and faces Montserrat.

The main facade overlooks the central city plaza, and is the terminus of the main routes that cut through the historic centre. The back facade occupies the limit we are talking about, where the topography drops rapidly down towards the river.

Calvin Klein Collection Spring/Summer 2009 Sneakers



The other day we showed you the baseball jacket from the much hyped Calvin Klein Collection Spring/Summer 2009 line. Here we take a look now at the sneakers. The sneakers come in both leather, perforated leather and patent leather and all feature a neoprene sock liner and velcro closure. From minimalist beige and white to more extreme fluorescent colorways, the choice is wide. Via Men.Style.

Son Paints 60-Foot Phallus On Parent's Roof



Rory McInnes, 18, inspired by a television program he watched about Google Earth, climbed onto his parent's roof and painted a 60-foot phallus with a bucket of white paint. It took his parents over a year to discover the monster shlong, and now Rory "will have to scrub it off when he gets back from traveling". Haha, scrub it off. But seriously, who the hell paints a giant member ON THEIR OWN HOUSE? Sorry, but I'm chalking this one up as a penis painting fail, Rory. Better luck next dong.

Cyan Nylon Messenger by Incase



I am really liking the color of the Cyan Nylon Messenger by Incase. They do it right over there. The cam buckle on the strap and the zippered pocket on the flap are both smart touches. And the tapered/seated buckles are nicely done too.

New Girl Skateboard Designs, FUCKING DOPE!!!!!




New boards from Girl Skateboards in Wallride #17. The old school decks caught me off guard, I thought they were real for a second. Worthy of hanging on a wall somewhere, maybe your house?

cheez Spring/Summer 2009 Collection



The cheez Spring/Summer 2009 Collection has been released. The rather new Japanese brand has become known for fun and colorful collections. Their new line consists of t-shirts, hoodies, windrunner jackets and mesh caps. We especially like the windrunners and the mesh caps this season, which feature bold materials and color combinations.

The cheez Spring/Summer 2009 Collection is now available at Stless.

A Toilet on Skis



Wallpaper has been used for centuries to decorate rooms with graphic imagery, but in some Japanese ski resorts this idea has been taken to a whole new level. In order to promote Georgia Max Coffee, Tokyo advertising agency, Tugboat, has transformed toilet stalls into a virtual ski jumps. When someone takes a seat on the toilet they find themselves immersed inside the photomontage with wraps across the floor. Yet it isn't until you reach for the toilet paper that you find the advertising message, which declares that Georgia Max Coffee is a "super zinging taste-explosion". Whether this is an effective campaign remains to be seen. The invasion of product marketing into every space of our lives is troubling, but it's hard to deny intriguing quality of this work.

Air Yeezy spotted at SXSW Music Festival

Kanye showed me both colorways last week
the black yeezys are one of the sickest pair of hi top sneaks
i have probably ever seen, GLOW IN THE DARK SOLES!!! DOPE!!!!!!



With all of the hoopla still surrounding Nike’s Air Yeezy, we catch a glimpse of various Hip-Hoppers rocking the highly scouted yet unreleased Kanye West-endorsed hi tops. Included performers caught sporting the kicks included Bun B, GLC with Samples, and Mr. West himself.

Deck House / Assadi + Pulido



The project starts having in mind a deck of wood. Over this platform would be incirporated the different areas of the house. Nevertheless, the resources were exclusively aimed at this terrace, and the interior space was enough only for a large living area incirporated to this terrace. It was decided, therefore, to assign almost all these resources to resolve the housing based on two main components: a deck and a living area, being this later one capable of absorbing the kitchen, the dinning room, and even the master bedroom. Additionally, considering that in a summer holiday house dormitories are only used to sleep, it was decided to eliminate this concept, changing it for “a group sleeping area at which the space aimed at dormitories almost fully disappears from the project.

Merci Beaucoup 2009 Fall/Winter Collection



With the economic climate having a strong effect on the outlook of fashion design, Japanese brand Merci Beaucoup seems to have either completely missed out on the memo or chosen to continue on a very much one-of-a-kind aesthetic with their 2009-2010 fall/winter collection. Featuring both male and female outfits, the brand’s use of a butterfly theme is quite literal as we see some wild looks and outfits. However to the brand’s credit, there are some more subtle pieces in the collection as well as some interesting fur-based footwear offerings.
