A Thread for Fine Design
-
Roger, I just moved back to Northern BC. There is no way to discretely describe that genre here. Let us suffice to say you don't want to share bathwater unless it's boiling. -

Cool idea in concept--however I see a few drawbacks to that design . . .
a small itty-bitty hiccup to that idea is that if you spent more than 1/2 hour in there during the day you would die.
Not to mention everyone else can see you and your drawbacks . . .ahem . ..as it were.

Cristo's art killed one woman. I don't remember the year, but Cristo planted a field of giant umbrellas in California and Ibaraki, Japan. They were to be opened simultaneously. The California location was very windy and one of Cristo's volunteers was killed when a 450lb umbrella fell on her. Ironically, she was dieing of cancer and had two weeks to live.
I was reminded of this when when a wind lifted one of my garden umbrellas into a neighbor's yard. No one was home, so I sent my ninja son over the wall to retrieve said umbrella.
On another occasion I saw a whole gazebo took flight and came down in a street right behind an unsuspecting driver in a pickup truck. And we have had at least 3 bounce houses take flight with kids in them in the last month. Some of the kids were seriously injured when they fell on the roof of a house.

That is really a brilliant piece of conception and workmanship.
Also the website above and on d12dozr's link is well worth the peruse.As for Pete's tent. I'd love to spend one of those star filled nights in that tent, but being able to see into a tent I occupy wouldn't be that pretty

Beautiful architecture, corresponding photos...

The photos are good for render references too

Beautiful works.
Those curved gluelams are sweet.
-
Marcus, the couch in the big picture with the curved glulams has tiny subtle puckers at bottom just where you would expect them in the real world. However somebody would have to be a little nuts to model with that much detail in SU. Can you explain what is really going on?
-
Oh those are real photos, I thought the home fell in the "Fine Design" category (at the risk of stating the obvious, that's the topic of this thread). Links to the articles on Arch Daily are under the photos...

Hand carved tropical gourd lamps...gorgeous!!
Many, many more pics here and here.
I'd love to learn to programmatically generate something like this for 3D printing...maybe some day, gotta brush up on my math skillz first...
-
Those are beautiful, and reminded me of these Ostrich egg carved lamps.
-
Nice, I haven't seen those before
-
We don't usually think of a piece of paper as fine design, but I think this receipt really breaks the mold (or mould
)
I lovethe little "NOTES" box
More info here.

The receipt is so well though out. Things just kept popping out at me. Really cool.
