How can an intangible process supersede or visually insinuate itself into the slick glamour of an industrial design object? The diffusion of the custom-fitting process compounds this design problem; it occurs in a series of small episodes that are not immediately legible as having anything to do with skiing or footwear. In order to fit a boot, Surefoot uses a digital scanner to create a topographic map of the customer's foot. This map is sent to a computer-controlled mill that fabricates an orthotic insert. The process is completed by injecting rapid-hardening foam into the liner of a boot while the customer stands on a canted platform designed to simulate the position and resultant stresses of the foot and ankle against the ski boot while skiing. Uninitiated customers need a spatial system to guide them through the custom fitting process. This process is unavoidably scattered through the store but also part of a coherent whole and a recognizable brand.....more <a href="http://www.theladg.com/SFNY%20Information01.html">here</a>

She got it in the ribbon-like interior designed by architect Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance of Néonata, whose white Corian envelope was the first object of the collection and lends homogeneity to widely varying pieces. <br /><br />'I have designed an object which enlarges the perspectives of the space, creates different atmospheres in a unique body and adds rhythm and movement to the gallery,' he explains. With this single gesture, visible from the kerb, the BSL's sculptural shell declares Saint-Laurent's intention to make grand statements.<br />More of the interior <a href="http://www.wallpaper.com/interiors/galerie-bsl-opens-in-paris/4534"><i><b>here </b></i></a>

It's not about buying jewelry ... on one hand access to a ceremony: the ritual of finding a little treasure unknown (there are resonances plays, some treatments of the dome reminiscent of the dark curtains, lighting and set designer ). <br />Geometry: the box is formed by twin opposing two extruded sections, the upper dark, matte, light and vibrant interior and silver, shiny, heavy and rigid. <br /><br />The dark is generated by an asymmetric inverted U, which generates a way to vault a section extruded, thus forming the roof and sides (asymmetric): presents a reading of drapery-curtain mysteriously folded. <br /><br />The other dihedral forms- the floor and furniture behind the counter lateral central, forming an L lying, is generated as a folded surface wear, bright and deep.<br />More at <a href="http://www.arquitour.com/joyeria-d-vaillo-irigaray/2009/07/#more-6778"><i><b>arquitour </b></i></a>

Included in the project are spaces for the Journalism Library, the offices of the Columbia Journalism Review, assorted faculty and administrative offices, and classroom space. Central to the proposal is the introduction of several new spaces to serve as a social and intellectual center for the School: a multipurpose “social hub” for student-faculty interaction as well as larger meetings with visitors to the school, and a more informal student lounge space and cafe.<br />The social hub accommodates a diverse range of programs: study space for students in between classes, meeting space for students and faculty, informal presentation space for visitors from the journalism industry, and other such communal event spaces for the Journalism School. The cafe/lounge is intended to be a louder, more informal space for the School’s students, complete with plasma screens and LED signage that will broadcast the news to patrons. Its site at the formerly outdoor space between Journalism and Furnald allows it to engage the campus environment while also remaining within the School of Journalism. A transparent glass structure is proposed to give the School a more active presence on its entry plaza.<br />More at <a href="http://marblefairbanks.com/?p=68#img9"><i><b>Marble Fairbanks's </b></i></a>

Culture can be a form of enlightenment, entertainment, politics, and even a weapon. The diverse forms of cultural donations reveal a multitude of conceptions about its value and purposes.<br />Donor Hall at the New Museum provides a picture of global giving, and raises the question of who are the constituencies of cultural philanthropy and what are the specific relations that are constructed between cultural givers and the audiences that they benefit. Using publicly available information about contributions to arts and culture around the world, drawn from sources such as tax filings, corporate annual reports, newspapers and research papers, Donor Hall indicates the contours of global generosity.<br />The installation arranges organizations and individual donors into categories ranging from national governments to private foundations, media conglomerates to populist movements. The categories do not suggest that a common ideological position is advanced or that the givers share a motive for cultural investment, but rather they allow the viewer to read and interpret the various modes of giving that the donors practice. The categories provide a cross-section of global philanthropy and the many forms that it takes, grouping the givers as broadly as possible by the areas of cultural, political, and/or economic activity in which they operate. Despite their different missions, what unites these groups is an evident belief in the value and power of culture and a desire to use their resources for its support.<br />The categories of donors are arranged as pie charts and overlaid onto large-scale photographs of actual pies and other foods, a whimsical gesture or parody of the ruthlessness of statistical representations. The entire surface consists of a ‘micro-text’ of quotes from world literature, providing a wide range of commentary on gifts and generosity. A menagerie of cartoon animals, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune in various cultural traditions, frolics among the food and data.<br />More at <a href="http://www.inaba.us/INABA/Donor_Hall.html"><i><b>INABA's</b></i></a>

Like an installation, the space is constructed with an elegant sculpture like gesture, organizing the interior and creating differentiated spaces. Its surface cuts through the façade and slabs, to allow natural light to flow down to the basement. It also contains the main stairs bringing guests to the heart of the atelier, establishing an effective connectivity between ground and basement levels. The interior walls are thickened and embedded with storage and display units. They contain the services infrastructure necessary for the operation of the industrial machinery. <br /><br />Secondary back of house access is also concealed allowing staff to work around the shop in a seamless way. By consolidating natural light with key circulation, the centre piece becomes fundamental in structuring the legibility of the shop, anchoring the shop’s entrance at Rue Saint-Hyacinthe it creates a dynamic flow that is sequenced through the different components of the program. reception on the ground floor, bar and lounge in the basement, followed by tailoring and fitting, colouring, washing and drying. The ground floor on the Rue de la Sourdière side is connected only through the basement creating a space of opportunity, that can be flexibly operated as part of the atelier or as an independent gallery/event space/shop. <br /><br />The façade creates a fluid transition between exterior and interior, using different levels of transparency and expressing lightness. It brings to the street a playful interaction between the sculptural contemporary interior and the historic street that can be emphasised by the selection of materials and the lighting design. The atelier is therefore a hybrid, neither shop, nor production line, it conveys an insider’s fashion experience that is polarized through a seamless architectural design, creating a niche destination that appeals to the five senses.<br />More at <a href="http://www.zaha-hadid.com/retail/atelier-notify"><i><b>Zaha Hadid's</b></i></a>

Exhibition | 50th Venice Biennale Interior Entrance | Archea

<b>Architect's Statement</b><br />“The Cord” is an installation/entrance for the 50th Venice Biennale art exhibition. Somewhere between sculpture and architecture, the work’s official purpose was to mark the main entrance to the Giardini di Castello and accommodate its attendant facilities, including ticket offices, coat checks and a police station. The design concept takes up the idea of an entrance “door” to the exhibition as a “passage”, a structure connecting the different sections and places into which the exhibition areas are divided.<br />The original design seeks to be an icon of the connection between the exhibition’s various parts, rendering this connection visible. The exhibition is seen as a great container of information, which is made conveyable through the construction of a symbolic wiring system in which “The Cord” takes on proportions that can be walked through.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeEjtIuREN1zGHqca-zRh_JmcG6fqi276QQzCOSKXWUyKDRQD6a3Ca2zMeHzQqcikWK4wQq7za-CzSsN9zJhB7kyBGyetlwmiWZcDrx1eeC5tmKzeTWwA0uzwFHbtQjzsw434Nkiq9pKmw/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeEjtIuREN1zGHqca-zRh_JmcG6fqi276QQzCOSKXWUyKDRQD6a3Ca2zMeHzQqcikWK4wQq7za-CzSsN9zJhB7kyBGyetlwmiWZcDrx1eeC5tmKzeTWwA0uzwFHbtQjzsw434Nkiq9pKmw/s640/2.jpg" width="616" /></a></div>This giant virtual network reinforces the idea of art as communication and communication as art. It is a hollow space that can convey information and visitors and their “Dreams and Conflicts” (the title of this Biennale directed by Francesco Bonami) in the various sites in which the Biennale sets the stage for its works.<br />The piece’s physical construction, in its entirety, consists of a 200-meter long steel conduit in sections 1.25 meter long, assembled in crops between 7.5 and 15 meters. In addition to the exhibition’s various sites, they brought the Biennale’s art works to numerous Italian art cities, including Genoa, Palermo, Turin, Lucca, Verona, Assisi, Bari and Naples.<br />Each modular cylindrical piece has a 3-meter external radius and a 2.75 internal one. They are made by joining two 4 mm thick Corten steel sheets, which are calendered along their extrados and intrados.<br />They are attached through two circular centers made of rectangular sections (120x84 mm) placed at the tip of each element.<br />The outside finish makes use of Corten steel’s natural oxidization, and the internal surface is completely painted with a layer of photo-sensitive fluorescent white enamel that absorbs sunlight during the day and reflects it back with a greenish white light after sunset.<br />On this internal surface, the titles, names and descriptions of the exhibition are impressed using dynamic lettering that seems to shift; of course, the letters are still and the movement is created by people moving through the space where they are written.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK2Biqajvwbv4j0-3BDNQJVHXNcSrHglq287zyYRbkKtImFUkmbFP2cTqcZbZp11JHI8wjS-wFMc7hH2KF5TnfcBshXb7fi57XJ65h_wZfTkLUUtm3EqcufShMeNHLszQjusRJN3VHPfdg/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK2Biqajvwbv4j0-3BDNQJVHXNcSrHglq287zyYRbkKtImFUkmbFP2cTqcZbZp11JHI8wjS-wFMc7hH2KF5TnfcBshXb7fi57XJ65h_wZfTkLUUtm3EqcufShMeNHLszQjusRJN3VHPfdg/s640/1.jpg" width="616" /></a></div><br /><br />More of this interior at <a href="http://www.archea.it/index.php/home/info/47/0"><i><b>Archea</b></i></a>

Large bespoke items of furniture acted as storage, spatial dividers and billboards for the display of new work by each team.

Video-editing is an intense process, requiring rooms with good acoustic and light control. We also discovered that video-editing is a process requiring a large amount of space for lounging. Clients come to the facility and remain for days. Unlike the editing suites, the lounges require comfortable and light-filled spaces.<br />Spotwelders occupies 5,000 square feet on the top floor of a triangular-shaped building near the entrance to the Holland Tunnel. The space has 42 windows. Our project revolved around the concept of inserting an “object” that would maintain a free perimeter and – through its shape – create both ideal editing suites within and a series of private lounges without. The result is a distorted cross that creates the four, differently-sized editing suites: the rounded sides of the cross “carve out” discrete lounges, one for each editing suite. The object is painted bright orange, creating a vibrant presence.<br />In order to give the editing suites their own individual identity, we developed a custom carpet based on Warhol’s “Flower” paintings. We applied Warhol’s technique to an existing carpet pattern; the manufacturer allowed us to replace all of the original colors with our own for no additional cost. We created green, blue, yellow and pink carpets for the editing suites. Custom-designed couches and furniture pick up on the carpet colors.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHdG-XFUVWs5sjbsw4hbP2u8x3gR91qXa6wUhHXX1f7RY70-8Kh1A6mQeDh6zVX6S_AbnBO3d-SaMcJ5hHkTcoz-3bGKYZmNHCMp1N8e_PKB94Ep53oA4JyjfbhZn41Du7kaeOylxkRX24/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHdG-XFUVWs5sjbsw4hbP2u8x3gR91qXa6wUhHXX1f7RY70-8Kh1A6mQeDh6zVX6S_AbnBO3d-SaMcJ5hHkTcoz-3bGKYZmNHCMp1N8e_PKB94Ep53oA4JyjfbhZn41Du7kaeOylxkRX24/s640/1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />The “object” also creates a sweeping entrance containing a walnut reception desk and waiting bench. Beyond, and below a dramatic existing north-facing skylight, we created the “park:” an area of tables for sitting and dining on a grass-patterned surface. The kitchen is aluminum-faced panels and there is a separate back-of-house area containing administrative offices and a conference room with a new 12-foot wide window looking out over the city.More about this Studio Interior at <a href="http://work.ac/spotwelders/?tag=interiors"><i style="color: #e06666;"><b>workac </b></i></a>

They would speak of kings and queens, and describe encounters in crowded, gleaming cities.”<br />Juliet is a shimmering bi-level space of gold cladding materials and lacquered furnishings. A “flying carpet” of gold, mirrored tiles is laid over the entire main room and folds over the walls and the bar. The space vibrates with the mosaic mirror, and the gloss black laser-cut ribs lining the walls represent a warping, organic profile. Much like the fluidity of Scheherazade’s tales, the ribs offer a shifting narrative.<br />The ceiling is a two-layer, laser-cut fixture resting on the ribs. Both layers are patterned in a typical middle-eastern archetype, but in two different scales of magnitude. The top layer is white opposing the mirrored bottom layer.<br />The space has fragile boundaries and proposes a soft, sexy experience. The seating is made of booths with sensuous outlines, and the upper level extends to the main room to align with the back of the lower booths. The tables are custom made in a sumptuous, full profile, and are lacquered in a deep, lively, Mediterranean blue."<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxFLC0HFfGJmDWMC7gX8STr6Z8orK1kO0cAICo3yXMMF3MlDz2xk1XR0ULAzv2x3LzsFP8DPFy0echy_zu1Q2ALqwVaJfwgFUonHK4IpeTI-QqWz5vrbbPJHPHIOn7h-Nfr6aLfUL_TCGC/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxFLC0HFfGJmDWMC7gX8STr6Z8orK1kO0cAICo3yXMMF3MlDz2xk1XR0ULAzv2x3LzsFP8DPFy0echy_zu1Q2ALqwVaJfwgFUonHK4IpeTI-QqWz5vrbbPJHPHIOn7h-Nfr6aLfUL_TCGC/s640/2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /> Visit the bluarch architecture + interiors website – <i style="color: #ea9999;"><b><a href="http://www.bluarch.com/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.bluarch.com');" target="_blank">here</a>.</b></i>

Our first idea was to open up and animate the ten-story atrium with 26 ‘meeting pods’, as a kind of celebration of collaboration, allowing clear lines of sight through the financial business.</div><div class="style1">The office interior design has numerous work zones surround the atrium, designed to house 100 employees each in adaptable neighborhoods. An arterial staircase links the zones forming a ‘Meeting Tree’, emblematic of the interconnectedness of Macquarie’s client relationships. The Main Street on Level 1 offers communal spaces that are highly conducive to corporate and philanthropic events and includes a café and dining areas. Within the office floors ‘Plazas’ were modeled after collaboration typologies—the Dining Room, Garden, Tree House, Playroom, and Coffee House, where cross-pollination among business groups is encouraged through spontaneous encounters.</div><div class="style1">One Shelley Street has been designed to the highest levels of green star or LEED efficiency, using revolutionary technologies like harbor water cooling, chilled beams and zone controlled lighting. Overall energy consumption has been reduced by 50%. The interior staircase, linking the various neighborhoods, has reduced the use of the elevators by 50%. There has been a 78% reduction in paper storage needs and a 53% reduction in printing paper. Mail is scanned and distributed electronically, decreasing the need for storage. Employees have lockers in which to store personal addenda, and are deterred from creating paper waste, there's not a trash can in sight. The business benefit of ABW is the elimination of ‘churn’—the cost of moving groups and redefining spaces. Investing now meant savings in the future and Macquarie is providing an unmatched quality of life for its employees—benefiting clients, investors, shareholders and the environment.</div><div class="style1">By October 2009 nearly all of the 3,000 employees had moved into the new building. Although activity-based work environments are not yet the norm, the acceptance level among Macquarie employees has soared beyond initial anticipation. Nearly 55% change their workspaces each day, and 77% are in favor of the freedom to do so. There has been an abandonment of stale business practices that are traditionally incubators of complacency. One Shelley Street is positioned to be a trailblazer for the new global sustainable office building.</div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSnZTs2MlkEI3TIXvaEYfreajhIC0TWIpdDB4BLAl-ORiEJVIwoh_Y1W58cWwqY1ZKe_5VVeB83nnfM83nOizERk1uKJH8q2w4-ON9_Uf58gxEowlZLnvQm6mGVweLGOwid-4AVL8d7YhA/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="602" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSnZTs2MlkEI3TIXvaEYfreajhIC0TWIpdDB4BLAl-ORiEJVIwoh_Y1W58cWwqY1ZKe_5VVeB83nnfM83nOizERk1uKJH8q2w4-ON9_Uf58gxEowlZLnvQm6mGVweLGOwid-4AVL8d7YhA/s640/1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>More images of the office interior at <a href="http://www.clivewilkinson.com/feature/mac_description9.html"><b style="color: #e06666;">Clive Wilkinson Architects</b></a>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>HASSELL designed the new workplace for dtac, one of Thailand’s leading telecommunication providers, to accommodate 3,500 staff occupying 62,000 sqm over 20 floors. The dtac corporate philosophy of ‘play and learn’ is communicated through all their advertising and merchandising, and is also successfully reflected in the interior design of this new workplace, challenging conventional notions of arrival, meeting, concentration and relaxation spaces.To support dtac’s varied promotional activities, an extensive three-level open front-of-house the office interior linked by a new internal feature stairway provides a highly adaptable space, able to host a wide variety of client and staff events. With the office interior defined as volumes rather than by function, the rich and varied use of local timbers used for the flooring, screening and ceiling battens provide direction and framework across this activity-based workplace. The team-based environments created by HASSELL encourages dtac staff to be mobile and creative in their choice of work space; whether that is at their workpoint, within a meeting lounge or on the open terrace overlooking Bangkok’s skyline. The incorporation of a dedicated relaxation and fitness floor supplemented with indoor plants into the workplace further enhance staff amenity and promotes a healthy work environment.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2C72mYMGJcypbDozC3_VE-4bZhdqQHGCKhm_iDJHfhscAPS9RcjYJj7J02A3fWCy1dvEsXnY1FPGDzdA1G6zrwZDn0-_c60behgCWM4EPO7L8FxHNJy6P3hliyHvNsDXR3kukcVritm-q/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2C72mYMGJcypbDozC3_VE-4bZhdqQHGCKhm_iDJHfhscAPS9RcjYJj7J02A3fWCy1dvEsXnY1FPGDzdA1G6zrwZDn0-_c60behgCWM4EPO7L8FxHNJy6P3hliyHvNsDXR3kukcVritm-q/s640/1.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPA5gGdgmqphCB6uRNMOgY9YyJtjXEfg9waZteHu2YWhUWr6c0y0YTAfI_3cg_zhSDGRX9I7crzYkSkqHAwMhkbdSy3cMXMdMYYZdgr6xjb3mEKvLfU7ONbu7LXlWskzeu8KMpkNAzLa9l/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPA5gGdgmqphCB6uRNMOgY9YyJtjXEfg9waZteHu2YWhUWr6c0y0YTAfI_3cg_zhSDGRX9I7crzYkSkqHAwMhkbdSy3cMXMdMYYZdgr6xjb3mEKvLfU7ONbu7LXlWskzeu8KMpkNAzLa9l/s640/2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Moreof this office interior at <a href="http://www.hassell.com.au/"><b style="color: #e06666;">Hassel</b></a>
