time capsule.

06Dec11

wow, it’s been a bit since i last posted. in the past few days, though, things i want to share have been on my mind.

the delay can mostly be explained by the fact that i up and moved to new york, and have been adjusting to my new lifestyle. work is busy but i am immersing myself and feel thankful to be brushing up on my digital skills, especially rhino of late in doing facade articulation studies. oh, architecture.

so, this is a quickie, as i’m only really online to look at a friend’s project and then do some quick color samples before i head back over to soho for work. but, i came across this post today, and couldn’t help but share.

These are images of the new Aesop store in Nolita, the interior of which was constructed of recycled NYTimes papers- over 400,000 strips. The detailing looks so clean and modern, and, it is a nice homage to publishing. I will definitely walk by this morning on my way to get coffee at gimme coffee, my new favorite first transaction of the day.

ok, ok, I know you want more, and I promise that I have plenty saved up- including a whole post inspired by my adventures exploring Sibella Court’s book!

and i’ll leave you with this image, hand picked from this tumblr collection, la poussiere, i have recently discovered- great eye! love this image from 1937
