Thinking Outside the Build Platform: MATAERIAL's 'Anti-Gravity Object Modeling' 3D Printer - Core77 - 04:00

Earlier this year, we came across the 3Doodler, a pen that allows the user to sketch far beyond the bounds a material substrate, namely paper. (Boston's WobbleWorks had more than quadrupled their $30,000 funding goal when we posted about the product at launch; by the time the campaign wrapped up a month later, they'd raised a whopping $2.3m) Led by Petr Novikov and Saša Jokić, a team of researchers from the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) and Joris...

Quora's David Cole Settles the Apple Logo / Golden Ratio Issue Once and For All - Core77 - 21-05-2013

While I understand the appeal of the golden ratio as a rational approach to aesthetics most people would probably agree that it's impossible to reduce beauty to a series of numeric relationships. Yet the myth persists, and it should come as no surprise that these putatively ideal proportions might hypothetically inform graphic design as well—after all, the very premise of digital software is to allow us to create vector images with mathematically unerring accuracy. And of all the countless logos that we see on a daily basis, Apple's ideogrammatic fruit is a...

To Advance Micro-Living Designs, Have Design Students Live in Tiny, Unfurnished Spaces. Yea or Nay? - Core77 - 21-05-2013

You've heard the expression that [American] football is a game of inches. So, increasingly, is living in Manhattan. This video of Luke Clark Tyler's apartment (captured by Kirsten Dirksen's Fair Companies) has racked up nearly two million hits, and for good reason: Tyler downsized from his previous 96-square-foot palace to shoehorn his life into a 78-square-foot studio. But what really makes this video distinct from other "tiny living" vids we've seen, and what should be of interest to the Core77 reader, is that Tyler is a trained architect who can...

NY Design Week 2013: Introducing Intro NY - Core77 - 21-05-2013

Design agency smallpond looked to go big time for the inaugural NYCxDesign festival, entering the fray with the support of London's Designjunction. The new INTRO NY show was modest in the best way possible, a showcase of smaller, mostly non-NYC design brands in a well-lit, street-level space in the heart of Little Italy (there was audible din from a parade two blocks over when I visited on Saturday morning). If on-site retail—a curated neo-utility pop-up shop—and refreshments seem to be par for...

The V&A's fundraising bid to boost its design collection - Wallpaper - 21-05-2013

Much of the most interesting and innovative contemporary design comes in small runs and is eye-wateringly expensive. Not so much of a problem if you are an oil baron or mineral multibillionaire. More of a problem if you're a cash-strapped public institution determined to collect and show contemporary design, as points out Jana Scholze, curator of contemporary furniture and product design at London's Victoria and Albert Museum. 'The market for experimental, limited-edition pieces is really strong,' she says, 'which has made it really difficult for us to collect that kind of design.' This month's V&A Design Fund dinner, the...
