This is not really the end. I’m just done with this stream of work. I’ve been doing this log of my design work for about seven years - it dates all the way back to my early days as an architecture student. Sadly it has really thinned out a lot in the last year as I’ve been way way too busy. I’m starting fresh for 2010 with a new layout and new work here.

Peter and I playing on our second night at the Guggenheim.

Last night we performed with Assume Vivid Astro Focus at the Guggenheim as part of the Eye to Eye series. We created a sort of soundscape somewhere between the Velvet Underground and Kraftwerk, but noisier, more abstact, and surely not as good. Our set was surrounded on all sides by Kandinsky paintings. We actually had to keep our distance in case of a catastrophic technical failure. We perform again tonight.
We (Bureau V) will be creating a live audio installation with Assume Vivid Astro Focus (AVAF) at the Guggenheim Museum. The event is part of the Eye to Eye series of artist led tours of Kandinsky. Dec 8th and 9th at 630pm. Limited tickets are available here.

We still have not properly photographed the branches we designed for Pin-Up, but I did just find this quick progress shot of a detail mid-construction.

Bad photo, but cool project. We recently designed a series of tesselated structures for the launch of Pin-Up Magazine issue 7 (which features Bureau V). The pieces are hybrids between found birch branches and finished birch 1x1 boards. Better images and more details soon.

I’ve been working with my friends at PRvD to develop a line of furniture pieces. This vase is one of the first workable prototypes to come from our experiments. The vase is made out of poplar reclaimed from tree trimmings and a clear acrylic resin. It measures approximately 12” tall and 6” in diameter. Currently we are fine tuning the production process, trying to make larger pieces, use less resin, and fabricate with less manual labor. We should have a more complete line in the next month.

We recently designed an installation at Saatchi & Saatchi for Mary Ping’s 2010 collection, Slow and Steady Wins the Race. The design consisted of display stands that housed still life installations by artists and fashion world people working in New York. Here is a quick shot of one of the stands that I took on my phone. The whole endeavor was cheap, fast, and fly by night, with a focus on producing something subtle and elegant within the atmosphere of the brand.

I just got a copy of the new Maxwell Render and I tested it on this preliminary design for a house in Venice Beach, CA. These each took 30 minutes.

I was just sent a digital copy of this Russian magazine that featured the Bauhaus Piano alongside a bunch of other odd-ball pianos. I don’t know what it says but I think its awesome.

We’ve given our Bureau V website a little facelift, re-organized it a bit, and added some new projects. It’s not quite done, there will be some subtle tweaks here and there, but its already much better.
0972009 | Architecture / News, Press & Events I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t had time to post anytging work on this site. We’ve got four new comissions underway, a jazz and classical concert hall in Brooklyn, an artists retreat in the Nevada desert, an installation in Times Square and a pop-up store for Fashion Week. We’ve also got an upcoming show of new drawings at Espeis. I’m going to try to stay a bit more on top of this site along the way…
