  Room for breathing Design, Web Design | (0)

  Reading this insightful article on space in web design, I came across this inspiring start of a methodology for deciding what should be on a page and what should be left out: Currently when a website is ‘optimised’ for mobile, iPhone and now, iPad, it’s slimmed down to its bare-bones — the essence of what makes it what makes it it. In these formats space is particularly valuable because there’s less of it. Normally these ‘lite’ formats are afterthoughts. We should be designing backwards from these formats, not the other way round. Read the rest of the article on digitalmash.com via @smashingmag

  Tetsu Kondo and his instruments Design, Music | (0)

  The past Sunday I visited Upgrade! #7 in Eindhoven. This event is part of a larger network that aims to bring technology and art together and give exposure to artists/designers/engineers/anyone really who aims to combine these in their work. That night the stage was set for Tetsu Kondo, a Japanse artist in residence at MAD Eindhoven. He has spend over 10 years building his own instruments, both analog and digital. Continue Reading...

  Testing out Elise Design, Mathematics, Web Design | (0)

  I have been working on a nice little program called Elise in my spare time. You can use it to create beautiful fractals. Take this for example: Stay tuned for more experiments while I try to get this code creature through alpha stage :).

  Quasi-cristalline tilings in Islamic Architecture Design, Mathematics | (1)

  That sure is a mouth full :) If you're into tilings, symmetry and computer graphics like I am, you'll love not only the beautiful results, but also the elegant mathematics behind it. Check the paper here: Decagonal and Quasi-Crystalline Tilings in Medieval Islamic Architecture by Peter J. Lu1 and Paul J. Steinhardt (don't worry, no math formula's after the jump!) And while we're at it, I'd love to combine the work we did on the Epa:kato design tool with the use of images. Some methods are explained in the last sections of the following paper: Enjoy! ;) Dihedral Escherization by Craig S. Kaplan ...

  Found this amazing folding structure by Ryan McCaffrey: [vimeo]http://vimeo.com/9256192[/vimeo] Duct tape and blocks of wood. That's how I like it :)

  The amazing connections Design | (0)

  Have you ever watched documentaries on National Geographic or Discovery Channel? Then you probably know the obnoxious American commentator and the bare minimum of interesting facts and a shitload of over-dramatized nonsense. See, that's why people don't like documentaries as much nowadays. There is a cure. He is called James Burke. and his documentaries are a combination of witty presentation skills, funny historical sketches, an amazing tempo and enthousiasm and finally a roller coaster ride of interesting facts, plot twists and amazing discoveries. Why don't more people make documentaries like these ones? I guess because it's pretty damn hard. The series Connections is ...
