  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.)

  Aesthetics, Art, Inspiration, events, sculpture, wood

  [caption id="attachment_881" align="aligncenter" width="390" caption="Martin Puryear - \"Old Mole\" 1985"][/caption] The SFMOMA is running an exhibit of Martin Puryear's sculptures. With tremendous thanks to Chris and Kate, who got me a museum membership, I've visited the exhibit twice already. I really liked every single piece without exception, but I think my favorite was Old Mole (1985) shown above.

  Dorm Room by Le Corbusier & Charlotte Perriand by David Goligorsky
  Academia, Aesthetics, Architecture, History of Design, furniture, history, interior design, wood

  [caption id="attachment_857" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Dorm Room by Le Corbusier & Charlotte Perriand"][/caption] Living in graduate student housing isn't all that glamorous... the architecture and interior design of my temporary living situation is new and clean, but lacks any semblance of taste, character, or style. The most frustrating thing is knowing that a much better solution could have been realized at the same cost or even cheaper. Also, I know I'll get fined if I try to change anything... I would stay in school indefinitely if it meant living in a dorm room imagined by Le Corbusier and Perriand! ...
