See-through church, Limburg/Belgium by Gijs Van Vaerenbergh

Gijs Van Vaerenbergh, a collaboration between young Belgian architects Pieterjan Gijs (Leuven, 1983) and Arnout Van Vaerenbergh (Leuven, 1983), have built a see-through church in the Belgian region of Haspengouw. The church is a part of the Z-OUT project of Z33, house for contemporary art based in Hasselt, Belgium. Z-OUT is an ambitious longterm art in public space project that will be realised on different locations in the Flemish region of Limburg over the next five years.

The church is 10 meters high and is made of 100 layers and 2000 columns of steel. Depending on the perspective of the viewer, the church is either perceived as a massive building or seems to dissolve – partly or entirely – in the landscape. On the other hand, looking at the landscape from within the church, the surrounding countryside is redefined by abstract lines. The design of the church is based on the architecture of the multitude of churches in the region, but through the use of horizontal plates, the concept of the traditional church is transformed into a transparent object of art.

Kathmandu hits a new peak

A clean logo with a really strong and simple application. A nice example of ‘nutrition panel’ design.

RGB – THE BLACK SERIES BY CARNOVSKY | JAGUARSHOES COLLECTIVE, LONDON.

This type of work employs an RGB technique where Carnovsky overlap three primary colour images resulting in a super intricate multilayered print. When either Red, Green or Blue colored filter is placed over these surfaces a different image is revealed.

These images are of their first UK exhibition at DreamBagsJaguarShoes exploring the topic of ‘Jungle’. Check out more detailed views of their work below.

Own a colour and save a life

This is a nice concept and the result looks great. Dulux and Unicef are asking users to buy one of the 16.7 million colours that can be displayed on a smartphone.

Tied Up Nicely

A nice packaging concept for rubber bands… the stronger the band, the tighter the squeeze.

Moving a logo forward.

Often we come across new logos that don’t excite us at first glance, but occasionally the logo grows on us when you see its application. Here is one example of the recently rebranded Museum of the Moving Image, New York.

The reference to the triangles on the building is nice.

LED MediaMesh NYC

The basic concept of Mediamesh® is a stainless steel mesh fabric with interwoven LED profiles and with connected media controls installed behind it. The LEDs render the images onto the facade, providing the ability to display a wide spectrum of graphics, animated text and video.

In comparison with conventional systems, Mediamesh® is a transparent system that does not completely close off the facade. The architecture of the building is thus not destroyed and, when turned off, the Mediamesh® facade is also integrated as a harmonious element of the architectural design.

CITROËN DS3 DESIGN DRIVER DISPLAY, MILAN

Fabio Rotella designed this “open-air living room” for the Italian launch of Citroën’s new DS3 model. The 6 metre high red lampshade activates a this piazza, providing an iconic and glamorous meeting place in the midst of the bustling Salon de Mobile furniture design fair.

N BUILDING FACADE BY TERADADESIGN ARCHITECTS

A building facade in Tokyo has taken a leading step away from a cityscape overwhelmed by signage. Instead of the typical neon signs that adorn Tokyo’s Skyline, architects of the N Building, near Tachikawa station, designed a facade with two large QR codes.

INSTALLATION PERIOD 4 June – 4 July, 2010

PLEXUS INSTALLATION | GABRIEL DAWE

Gabriel Dawe’s textile experience inspired his creation of Plexus, a large scale gallery installation. Currently featured at the Dallas Contemporary, the installation is formed by brightly coloured Gütermann thread that is stretched between wooden blocks that are attached to both the floor and ceiling. The vibrant threads are arranged in a cascading linear pattern, yielding different effects of colour and form when viewed from different angles.
