            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...

                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... πŸ˜„

                  Those are beautiful, and reminded me of these Ostrich egg carved lamps.

                      We don't usually think of a piece of paper as fine design, but I think this receipt really breaks the mold (or mould πŸ˜„ )

                                These are really very great designs for decorative purposes. I am fond of home decorations and hence very much impressed.

                                      Just discovered the 'I'm Watch'. This is an Android based system that looks very Applelike! I like the design and function! BTW, its Italian design so has a heads start πŸ‘

                                      Even basic Colour version looks is a bit pricey at €249 but if price is no object, advertised models can go up to €11,999 and the sky is the limit after that for 'special' materials.

                                      I must start dropping hints that it would make a good Xmas present πŸ˜‰

                                        This brought to my mind the Ecumenic chapel of st. Henrik's in Turku, Finland, by Matti Sanaksenaho

                                        Turku also has the one of the most beautiful modern church buildings I know, The Resurrection (funerary) chapel, by Erik Bryggman, 1941

                                          What beautiful spaces.
                                          The architecture of Churches has always interested me as to how the sense of space and our reaction to it are interpreted.
                                          From the awe of the soaring vaulted cathedral, to the small sensual chapel, the successful designs can really cause reaction.
