Six superyacht concepts designed by Vasily Klyukin: the 65m long Mondrian, 80m Manhattan, 63m White Swan, 78m Mississippi and 65m Red Shark.
The ‘About’ section on Vasily’s website explains all you need to know.
Con/Struct: the fictional landscapes of Cape Town-based artist designer and photographer Justin Plunkett of which it is said::
Con/Struct is an exploration into the themes of empowerment and imagination. Plunkett, using his own photography, has created new juxtaposed environments that encourage questioning and exploration: inviting the debate around how marketing- induced aspiration and perceived value can empower but can also corrupt, how it can be both perverse and create beauty. At the same time, at the core of his work, he honours and applauds ingenuity and the creative spirit.
See? Now you don’t know what to believe.
Concept art presented at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2014 for the futuristic Nanjing Zendai Himalayas Center by MAD Architects – a 560,000 m² shan shui [depicting the natural landscape] development in ancient Nanjing City featuring a lush wooded interior crisscrossed by watercourses, surrounded by ‘mountain like’ high-rise structures.
The yin to Yang Yongliang’s yang, if you will.
Currently under construction, the entire complex is due for completion in 2017.
Imagine the high-end scifi Tom Cruise will inevitably film there.
A concept for a new type of custom-fit DIY slipper by designer Satsuki Ohata who sez:
This prototype is using PVC, which hardens at 200~300 degrees Celsius (392~572 degrees Fahrenheit). This time I used my foot mold instead of my foot. I am currently developing a kit which allows Fondue Slipper to make at home. Soon this new kit will be complete and you will be able to make your own Fondue Slipper that fits your foot perfectly. You can wear Fondue Slipper both inside and outside. It can also be used as slipper by folding the heel, or you can wear it without folding the heel if you want to run.”
It’s Mr Tayto’s sinister foreign doppelgänger at it again.
