  Recycled Houses by David Goligorsky
  Aesthetics, Architecture, Materials, Perceived Value, Pragmatism, Remix, Sustainable Design, wood

  The New York Times ran a slideshow of homes built by Dan Phillips. Mr. Phillips creates houses from salvaged materials ranging from branches to corks to wine bottles to picture frames. These are apparently low-income homes somewhere in Huntsville, TX but they look phenomenal. (Thanks for the tip, Molly.)

  Hetchins by David Goligorsky
  Aesthetics, Bicycle, Materials, history, transportation

  Needed to put this up. Beautiful English frameworks. Apparently, in the days of PRO cycling yore, frame-builders couldn't put their marques on their race bicycles. A frame-builder eager to have their bicycles stand out from the crowd in the PRO peleton would have to have a high performance race bicycle with distinctive and unique geometry. Hetchins accomplished this with the curly chainstays as far back as 1932 and it became a trademark feature of the company that holds to this day.

  LOT-EK Architecture Firm by David Goligorsky
  Aesthetics, Architecture, Materials, interior design

  Really like the work of LOT-EK, particularly the renovation of the Miller-Jones Studio. My favorite bit is the bedroom storage wall comprised entirely of bent sheet metal office storage units from flat files to lockers to cabinets. As austere as it is playful.

  Keepon by David Goligorsky
  Academia, Aesthetics, Code, Design, Engineering, Experience Design, Interaction Design, Japan, Materials, Music, Product Design, Robots, Science, Software, video

  I subscribed to Ambidextrous, Stanford University's Journal of Design. The magazine is edited by the Stanford Design community and receives content from contributors around the world. It's a very well-done publication and I would recommend subscribing if you are a designer, engineer, scientist, anthropologist, interaction, UX, HCI, or really anything else because you're bound to find these articles worthwhile. Reading through issue nine, I was particularly impressed by a robot designed by Hideki Kozima in Kyoto and programmed at Carnegie Mellon by Marek Michalowski. It is known as Keepon (from Japanese kee for yellow and pon for bobbing). ...
