for any faithful readers still clinging on, you can now find me at architizer, a big old heap of exciting architecture that comes with its very own editorial section, courtesy of yours truly. a few relevant points:

architects join and upload projects for free.
the open-source platform connects everyone from interns to pritzker prize winners.
looking for design inspiration in the form of, say, cedar and glass houses in rural areas? oh, there’s a search.
not to mention a bloggy thing with updates four times a day, including non-boring architecture and design news.
stay tuned for a re-design of the home page, launching later this summer, that puts even more focus on the editorial content.

i’ll stop shilling now, but honestly: architizer is neat, it fills a vast hole in architecture content online, and i’m damn excited to be on the team. let us know what you think!

*also: the images are 600 pixels wide. downright luxurious.

the selby was in my place

it’s been a couple of weeks ago now, but in the spirit of self-promotion we’re linking to a fun little project we did with todd selby on the occasion of his latest book launch (HERE). it’s no secret that the spaces selby photographs are fun and lived-in and pretty (and aspirational); what’s really cool is examining the personal stamps so evident on each and every one.

for example:

the book contest on flavorwire is done like dinner, but you can pick up a copy of the selby is in your place through amazon.

venini bolle vases: not recommending you go out and drop almost $2500 on blown glass, but if you’re into that sort of thing, you could pick worse.

modern playhouse

we’ve already shown you the vitrahaus by herzog & de meuron in its unfinished state, in the snow, but we’ve got new images in all its finished glory.

the building joins gehry, hadid, sanaa, ando, prouvé, and others on the vitra campus, an architecture museum of sorts housing vitra archives and retail space in weil am rein, germany.

thonet meets japan

we love a parsons table as much as the next person, but a workspace with a sleeker profile (and german-austrian meets japanese design pedigree) seems just right for 2010. steel pipe desk from the MUJI manufactured by thonet collection.
