Heffernan says:
“This time our timelapse adventure took place at the infamous sliding stones of Racetrack Playa Lakebed in Death Valley, where we got lots of cool shots of the stones themselves, as well as some epic starscape stuff — including a desert aurora, crazy star trails, and an awesome milky way pass. The initial intention was for this all to be done in one shoot with the Dunes of Part 1 — but time restrictions and work etc. caused us to split up the shoots — and so we visited the Racetrack on March 17-19th 2013 to film this second installment. ”

Lily Jencks and Nathanael Dorent have been commissioned by Capitol Designer Studio to create one of the kind installation in their show room based in in London’s Primrose Hill.
The team places porcelain the tiles on a herringbone pattern using four different monochrome shades across every surface.
The team Says:
“We had the idea of a shop not being only a functional space for consumption, but more about architecture and adventure. The floor is sloped, and benches are built into the structure, so you’re never really sure what you’re looking at. People can sit and have a discussion, lie on the slope, or view the product. We hope this will be a place where commerce will not only be about selling but about exchanging information, and nine months is long enough that things can really happen here.”

‘Gelbes Objeckt,’ Spatial Installation by Borgman | Lenk
The YELLOW OBJECT by Anna Borgman and Candy Lenk is a bit mysterious and seems floating in the air. It carries a kind of architectural miniaturization inside. The object reacts on the human body. It closes if somebody approaches and it opens when it’s left alone. The object is a sculptural intermediary between the real space around the object – an area of action and movement – and the space of miniaturization inside – a space of projection and a space to immerse oneself into.-

Exhibition by Riccardo Giovanetti at Triennale Design Museum in Milan
The exhibition project hosted at Triennale design museum in Milan this year and designed by Riccardo Giovanetti, relies on the basic idea of providing visitors with a different and innovative way of displaying projects within the context of the show.

Otherwise, in this case the idea is that of overturning the traditional relationship between the visitor and the showcased image: the latter in fact is no more hung to a wall, but is placed on the ground.
