Umbrellas Covered Street

Sep. 15, 2009 No Comments Posted under: artistic, culture

400 red umbrellas suspended over the new pedestrian mall in the city of Talca to create a visual impression of the inhabitants of a city in which it is uncommon to see daring displays in public spaces. The project is done by students Jaime Latorre and Pablo Retamal of the 5th Year Architecture Workshop under the guidance of Professor Juan Román at the University of Talca’s School of Architecture. The project, which had a the total budget of  26 million dollars, didn’t have any functional reason not even to provide a stepping stone shelter, but rather was just done to make people think differently about landscapes by adding a new layer of experience to it. Anyway, the visual effect of the Red Umbrella Project is huge, inspiring and remarkable as well, although the budget might have been a little less.



Cool Color Picker Pen

Sep. 13, 2009 4 Comments Posted under: Crazy Tech

Color is one of the most important factors of painting, but it is hard to get a nature color just like the real object. But this color picker can help you finish this hard work. The color picker pen enables colors in the environment to be scanned and instantly used for drawing. The sensor detects the color and matches it to the color display then the RGB cartridge located within the pen mixes the inks together to create the color that has been scanned. Korean designer Jinsu Park has created this color picker pen that basically brings the eyedropper to real life. Place the end of the pen against an object or surface to read the color, and the pen will automatically combine red, green, and blue ink to give you exactly the color you want.

Spanish architecture firm Selgas Cano recently unveiled their new office in Madrid.  Iwan Baan amaze us with this great project between the woods by Spanish practice Selgas Cano. Located within a forest,  the tube-like structure is  half sunken into the ground, giving the illusion of complete isolation.  A large window runs the entire length of the structure and forms part of the roof, ensuring workers a panoramic view of the surrounding woods.  Working in the middle of the nature, looks like such a peaceful environment, where you can really concentrate on your creativity.
