here’s a little purim/pesach celebration for you

What is black space? We still don’t fully know. But here’s pt. 3!

Pt. 2 of the dialogue - what is black space?

An introduction to the world of ambiguity. This questionnaire is one of many that serve as evidence that the undefined, unfamiliar, and underrepresented need room to expand beyond confinement.

don’t worry mom this is a joke! (it’s not a joke)

Mango ice cream, always already undelivered.

’Don’t walk through the scanner’

‘Just ask to get a pat down; it shouldn’t take too much longer.'

I recollect and I hide and I yearn - such are the feelings of flipping through a family album. Who is removed? Who have I obliviated? I forget and I cannot.

To new challenges, and solving problems at the intersection of fields

Their restaurants are where they can call upon their old worlds to bring comfort not only for themselves, but to others who crave a “taste of home”.

A marsh “celebrates the site’s past.” But which other pasts are obscured in this celebration?

A personal evaluation of city branding and the role of branding in cities.

In landscape restoration projects, a restored ecology and is not only functional, but an aesthetic object in the landscape, designed to be observed and engaged with: rivers are kayaked in, glades are walked through, marshes are looked out upon. Restoration emerges as an aesthetic exercise, an endeavor to (re)create an image of a past or lost wilderness.

I’m not ok with the Mercator projection. In fact I’m not ok with world maps.

Jesse Hammer and her studio practice and online-store, Puuuulp, are difficult to categorize, so I won’t try to. Trained as an architect, Jesse has always found a way to use her representational skills to design and make non-representational objects that are so colorful, you might just want to eat them. Her sources of inspiration range from Ron Nagle, Miranda July, 90’s horror television series (PG rated), and sometimes even… Jello. Jesse’s ability to flow in and out of architecture allows Puuuulp to appeal to audiences beyond those we are typically used to, but looking to non-architecture studio practices has also helped her turn Puuuulp into a profitable business

A maker? Sure. A researcher, a designer, an engineering intern? Absolutely. But never an artist.

Every screenshot asks us how we wish to embed the “subject” in context. In an age where our devices are our most personal objects, screenshots speak volumes about what matters to us. They capture exchanges, isolate units of meaning, and enable rebellion against blackboxed, allegedly optimized feeds.

The sun hung heavy and hot in the southern sky that day. It beat down across the countryside without a cloud in sight to stop it. A young shepherd attempting to guide his sheep to safety put up a hand, imploring the cars to give his herd a few minutes to cross the highway.

A conversation on group

4:42 minutes

Julio Torres is a design - inclined comedian who’s oeuvre is full of “built” work from custom conveyor belts to faux Fischer Price toys for boys. Quick digging reveals a range of interesting collaborators, but @spaceprincejulio’s most consistent interaction with designers are his own mother and sister : Tita and Marta, who are also the founders of Martania Bags. The family business is focused on hand-sewn purses they make themselves, but Marta’s background in interior architecture allows her to continuously dip into out of bounds mediums.
