I did a Mondrian/FL Wright comparative essay in Art School, and won a scholarship with it.
I think that Mondrian pops up a lot in Modern and Post Modern Design. -

If I would have taken Calculus, I would have been thrown out of school... -
Thought this was a beautiful design, but also because it is a photoreal rendering by Vladimir Igonin.

Ooh, I like that knife set, Simon

Hey Simon
I agree with dozer, great knives. Thanks. Do you remember the source for these? -
Happy 2012.
I figured it would be appropriate to look at some entrys as we walk in to 012.Japanese Architect Japanese Architect Noi Shigemasahttp://www.noi-shigemasa.com/works/cat2/index.html Shimuraya Bar Tokyo.
The building is Energyforum in Berlin, but I couldn't find the Architects name, so if anybody knows please chime in.
Design for Russian Hill Residence by John Maniscalco Architecture.Exemplifies the beauty of understatement.

Deciding to continue on with the entrance theme, I revisited the website of Shigemasa Noi (featured above http://www.noi-shigemasa.com/works/cat3/index.html
I was so impressed by how he was able to evoke a sense of curiosity, perhaps even mystery, in the entry's to some of his projects.
His website is quite tasteful, and what is even more intriguing is the spaces to which the entries lead.
Materio base ... Gallery and Salon
Ichiyo Art Ceramics Gallery
Union Art Wares
Vagrie Bag Store
Koshino Ayako Clothing and Salon
Cafe Ring Ginza Namiki Street Jewelery
And Just to intrigue you, one of the spaces to which Mr. Noi's entrances lead.

The following Armani Fifth Ave. / Massimiliano & Doriana Fuksas Stairs would be a very nice modeling exercise to offer in challenge to all users, as all necessary plans, elevations and photos of this complex organic architectural element are present in the link
(one more time pictures are linked
)

An interesting solution to a perennial problem... access for all. It's fine design imho.
With one caveat: The disability vechicle ramp seems flawless, but what about the poor bugger who doesn't notice the step UP on the way down!
I wanted to understand how it actually worked, so I built it in SU. At least the first couple of levels. Then it got too hard to resolve at the top, but the principle is there if anyone wants it. (or to solve it? I have the risers at 145mm and the going at 330mm but getting the levels right has been beyond me).
BazHappy new year, peace on earth and goodwill to all things.

I would ask how you do that, but that would admit that I don't know how (which I don't, so ... How did you do that?)
Also introduced me to Guy Laramee through your "Great Wall" posting, from opera to installations, this is one interesting fellow.
And the Armani stairs are eye candy. Thanks for that.
Cheers

really like this structure:

I have been following the work of Snohetta for a while, and this is in keeping with the great work these Norwegians do. The combination of the rough rustic material in the modern form and format provides such a nice static/dynamic contrast. Great post.

This is the work of one of Canada's greatest Architects Arthur Erickson. I posted his UBC, Museum of Anthropology, I believe somewhere earlier in this Thread. He passed away in 2009, but left an amazing body of work.
Here is a link to his website.http://www.arthurerickson.com (and a teaser)
I have walked that ramp, without paying attention to it. I assure you, that will change the next time I do. Thx. -
and beauty in a small package...
