- archive play for now with some uber-rare design sketches -

In 1890 some English have found that the Eiffel Tower had become an important asset for France and for Paris, noting in passing that his visitors had already reported more than the cost of its construction only during the Expo, and so they decided embarking on the construction of a tower at least as important in London.

To this end they organized a design competition to select the shape that this tower should have, there were 68 responses from across solutions with more or less inventive.

Can you feel it? // Julius Shulman

lots of respect for the architectural photographer Julius Shulman (October 10, 1910 – July 15, 2009) — quotes from LAtimes –> link –

His mission was to use his photography to build the reputation of architects who were bringing innovative design to the West. His clients included Frank Lloyd Wright and Rudolf M. Schindler.

Shulman’s studio was one of three in the United States to which Arts & Architecture, Architectural Forum and other magazines turned to document the exciting new work being done in architecture.

“He has a sense of visual bravura of composition so that he can take a rather mundane house and make it look exciting, and take a spectacular house and

Comic Illustration // Keita Sagaki

yo..new artist discovery

FG on the go

Keita Sagaki, todays artist, has a unique point of view for his drawings , no judgements made (even if we should), having in mind that the detailing of his work is exceptional. Short personal statement from his point of view [make your own adjustments]:

All things are composed of whole and part. Let’s broaden your horizons. the concept of “ whole and part” is not fixed. it’s in flux. If we interpret from a different viewpoint, the wholeness which we defined is converted into the partialness. Domain in the relations of both, it never ends. The concept of my creation is the relations of borderless “whole and part”. As I draw a picture in this concept, I want to express conflict and undulation from relations of “whole and part”, cannot be measured in addition and subtraction (The whole in the grand total of the part. and the Part by the whole division)
