Portugual-based designer Daniel Duarte’s Time Machine seems appropriately named as I could imagine getting mesmerized and transfixed watching the layered bars rotate around as time passes. The abstract clock will hypnotize you as the constantly shifting geometric patterns change and evolve as the minutes tick away.
The yellow-tipped bar represents the hour, while the orange-tipped one signifies the minutes.

Some members of Chicago's design community have said privately that the Navy Pier project's parameters, which limited the scope of changes, stifled creative possibilities, even for highly regarded designers such as Corner."Anything that makes it more parklike is all to the good," said eclectic Chicago architect Stanley Tigerman. "It can only go up, architecturally."

As a home’s second living room, kitchens are adopting a more casual appearance that allows users to see and access everyday items easily. Read on to see new designs that get it all out in the open:
Opencase Wall System by Henrybuilt: The American manufacturer’s new wall system is designed to evolve with the user’s needs thanks to a rod and panel design that requires no vertical support for shelving. Henrybuilt offers “starting point” configurations for applications like wine storage and pantries; the system is available in FSC certified woods, high pressure laminate, and aluminum. www.henrybuilt.com
Trim by Dada: New open shelving options complement Dante Bonuccelli’s 2008 Trim design, which features modular elements like lights, accessories, holders, and an electrified bar for appliances and other electronic equipment. www.dadaweb.it
Laevia by Arclinea: The new collection has several configurations that include open options, like a storage wall that can be concealed with a lacquered roller shutter and an open shelf with integrated lighting (pictured). www.arclinea.it
M_26 Maniglia by Meson’s Cucine: Horizontal bases and vertical columns are finished material matching shelving fronts, giving the M_26 a monolithic appearance that is broken only by open shelving units that can be used for display or often-used items. www.mesons.it
Meccanica 7 by Demode: A light framework of iron structural elements is connected with mechanical fasteners, eliminating all formaldehyde...

Responding to Director Rem Koolhaas’ theme “Absorbing Modernity: 1914-2014” for the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale, titled “Fundamentals”, the British Council has launched an open call for exhibition proposals that investigate how an aspect of British architecture has adapted to the condition of modernity during this era.
Commissioner of the British Pavilion, Vicky Richardson, says: “We’re excited about the opportunity to contribute to a major research exhibition. We want to take Rem Koolhaas’s theme as the starting point for an exhibition that looks at British architecture from the past 100 years in a new light.”
Deadline for submissions is June 21, 2013. Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed on July 5 and an announcement will be made on July 10, 2013.

Highly commended in the Hong Kong Architecture Mulitiple Residence category at Asia Pacific Property Awards 2013, R.B.L 1165 Repulse Bay is an eight-house residential development in Hong Kong designed by Aedas. The houses, all with a highly sculptural building profile, enjoy spectacular view of Repulse Bay, one of the city’s most famous beaches.
Designs of the houses are inspired by the water. The curves are a motif synonymous with sea waves, creating ever-changing perspectives from different points of view and the diffractions and reflections allow residents to be surrounded by the natural beauty around. The resulting sculptural building profile presents a vivid image to both the residents and passers-by. Besides aesthetic merits, the curves also functionally improve configurations and the quality of interior space.
Inlay screens have been incorporated into the insulated glass panels to reduce glare and undesirable reflection. By choosing different materials for the screens, ...

Metaproject, the student challenge created by designer and Rochester Institute of Technology professor Josh Owen, is back again for another round. Last year’s focus was on using glass in partnership with the Corning Museum of Glass (CMoG), but this year, Owen partnered up with hip New York-based company Areaware to present the students with the challenge of working primarily with wood and creating contemporary wooden toys geared toward adults. Areaware, who distributes some of Owen’s own designs, has had great success with its wooden products, like David Weeks’ jointed toys.
Throughout the semester, students researched wood and examples of culturally specific historical and contemporary toys to define the meaning of Universal Toy. Then, each student develops his or her own toy, and one will be chosen by Areaware to possibly be manufactured and sold by them. The projects will be on display this year during ICFF.
Areaware Creative Director Laura Young spent a significant amount of time with the students throughout the process. “I visited with the class several times over the course of the semester, which included a rigorous concept critique where I reviewed collections of drawings and models from each student and addressed the students as a whole on what worked, what didn’t and why.”
“She [Laura] was heavily invested in the outcomes and as such became very attached to the students of the course. This was a treat because the students built a relationship based on...
