Adam Kalkin Push Button House
No Comments December 29th, 2005

Adam Kalkin’s Push Button House is a shipping container fully pimped out to reveal its lavish insides with the push of a button. “It works like a flower - you push a button and the thing transforms itself.” Even though it looks like a great idea for the homeless, it would also make a great [...]

Observe carefully and you are able to notice all the little details in each of the people’s rooms, as well as the construction worker’s by playing [...]



Landscape & Foodscape Architecture
Comments OffDecember 10th, 2005

Image Source : Galerie Fraiche Attitude
Created by Akiko Ida and Pierre Javelle (a French pastry chef/arts photography team). I love the watermelon picture. Small-scale sculpture gets no respect, unless it’s jewelry or maybe the atomic-level sculpture that nanotechnologists make, and even that is just because it’s novel.
According to the author’s site, he says that the [...]

    Colophon

    Currently studying Architecture in Curtin University, Western Australia. Calvin loves web designing and photography, occasionally he blogs about his thoughts and opinions.

    Every morning he refill himself with weird energy-inducing substances known as coffee and tea and then off saving the world, I mean studying and blogging of course.

    The author is not a CAD expert nor a web genius. Just another guy spending too much time online (believe me, way too much). The tutorials featured here are meant for basic level understanding.
