          Nice, Bob.

          It reminds me of the Milwaukee Art Museum, which also definitely belongs in this thread 👍 The architect, Santiago Calatrava, designed the 'wings' to actually move. They open in the morning(weather permitting), 'flap' once at noon, and close in the evening.

            I just wanted to comment on those Clark photos posted by simon le bon. Man, those are amazing, and shows real dedication. I could imagine the bruises suffered in the getting.

            I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                  This reminds me of a fellow from Ghana, Kane Kwei. I ran across him some time ago. (Thanks for the memory). I love his naive style. http://ghanacoffin.com/Screen shot 2012-01-31 at 6.09.23 AM.png

                    One of SketchUcation's contributors Richard designed these, and in keeping with the top quality of work he produces whether it is a set of design guidelines, or it appears handbags.

                    Catch the thread here.
                    This IMHO exemplifies fine design. Simple, well thought out, understated. Brilliant

                        Didn't know whether to post in Funny Pics or here? The last image isn't fine design but the rest tackle daily problems with clever solutions...

                        Wasn't the cup holding the biscuits a great design?

                              Actually I have built the stair drawers many times. Don't know who originally thought of it, but it is a damn fine use of space.

                                Rich, when my daughter was a baby we had springs under the feet of her crib. Great idea indeed.

                                  A quote from the always quotable atomic physicist Niels Bohr:
                                  " To think about the paradoxical truths of quantum mechanics is to think in images, because the only way to know anything about the invisible is to create an image of it that is by definition a human construct, a model, a half-truth trying to hint at the real truth."
                                  He also collected cubist paintings by the likes of Picasso... thought provoking.Screen shot 2012-02-02 at 5.58.48 AM.png

                                    Another fine piece from Marcus (d12dozr), who you all know for his contributions to SketchUcation.
