Designers Republic were one of the groups who got me interested in design, and Michael C Place is from DR stock. Now running build London whos work is phenominal. aw this clip on youtube, and thought it was fantastic.

Cant get the video embedded but heres the link. Its incredible.

Broken Bottle

"If you take footage of a bottle shattering and play it backwards, you can see the broken pieces whoosh back together to form a bottle again, thats a good metaphor for design. You dont know what the fragments are going to create, and some pieces may be far out of reach. A designer has to take all these shattered pieces and combine them into a concrete item in one instant. This is interesting. It needs to be done instantaneously, without missing a single piece."

The most eloquent and beautiful definition of design I have come accross. Really lovely metaphor, and quite comprehensive.

Sneak Peak

Of work I have been tidying up.....Mostly CAD work. The joys of Hypershot have become apparent. Its certainly a revelation!

Busy times

Been a busy few weeks- moved into new flat with a few people- its a bit of a dump- cleaned like a madman for a few days but getting better- and I am now online! woo.

Also finished my full time internship- although have been doing some work for them still. Was such a fantastic experience and the guys at Curventa were so good to me- have really learnt alot.

Since then I have been trying to get my ahead around my dissertation research and also tidying up some old projects, so i don't have to come back to them to much this year. Also have a new camera so have been testing it around town- really impressed with it- first SLR and I will never go back.

Design festival starts this week- super excited. I have signed up for Jam designs Brompton bike tours which should be interesting. Ill post up how it went....

Also I will shortly be moving the blog to my new website...and wordpress but will post up links shortly. Going to try and keep more up to date with it and post some discussions up.
