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.

We (Bureau V) are featured in issue 7 of Pin-Up Magazine, twice. The first article is about young architects in New York and the second is a story about our large scale drawings, centerfold included.

A few of my photos are in this exhibition.

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.

A bench we designed at Bureau V ended up in Radar magazine along with the band Amazing Baby.

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 closed out summer driving and camping and boating in gorgeous British Columbia. I photographed it on my old Nikon F100 which i hadn’t touched in years. You can see the results here.

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.
