state of transition.

was the theme for this years urbis design day.
i had assumed that coup de main were just exaggerating when they described it as: the equivalent to an adult version of Christmas; minus the advent calendar countdown and the 5AM, screaming wake-up call.
it turns out they weren't.

nathan goldsworthy's installation at designer rugs/corporate culture.

live models depicting the four elements in salasai's collaboration with kohler bathroom specialists.  

taylor boutique's installatioin/fashion show at antipodes design.

v 

design denmark's showroom.

line dot line.

is the graphic design exhibition, as part of aut's AD10 this weekend.

my faves were  frana holland's ritual, parisa rezaei's bad magazine and rebekkah farrell's never after.
but i may have been biased having already discovered their work online.

the best bit for me was that it confirmed that this is definitely what i want to study,
just as soon as i finally finish my bachelor of architectural studies next year.
now i just have to decide undergrad vs postgrad and location.

earth from above.

is a series of aerial photographs by french environmental artist Yann Arthus-Bertrand
it made me want to quit uni, pack my bags and get on a plane even more than usual.
if you're in auckland its in aotea square until december 19 and you should definitely go see it.
