MENORAH MODERN
9 DecHere is my design for the Steelcase Menorah + Wreath competition. It’s clean lines, clever design and DIY inspired roots seemed to be a shoe-in as tops this year. I have to say, I think this is probably one of my best designs. This was produced with the following tools: chop-saw, drill, saws-all and a mitre box.
But alas, a piece bullshit NON-MENORAH eyecandy from SOM took first prize. Their entry was not a menorah, but rather an elaborate vacuumed-formed, CNC cut candelabra that could only be produced in SOM’s high-tech model shop. With total disregard for the Jewish faith and ceremony, they took it. Which leads me to believe that, as always, a total defiance of rules will always win a competition.
SCHOOSTING IN THE SHOP
14 OctAlways ever present of my need to hone my “hunter-gather” skills, Chadwick and I made great sport of blasting small objects from 30 ft. Normally one wouldn’t condone the use of weapons and booze, but fear not, it was only a BB gun and the targets were not breathing.
NYC Guggenheim Competition – Frank Lloyd Wright Pavilion
25 Aug-human nest-
Based on the idea of ‘nesting’ humans within nature, this pavilion anchors to the cliffs of the Blue Mountains in Australia. The design constraints do not allow for more than 100 s.f. and no services. You can locate the model herein google earth.
