He is retired, but still doing some exhibition around the globe - Nice website.

FEARON HAY

Fearon Hay.

I found myself having hard times selecting images out of their website. Their work is a joy to look at -

The play of materials, the design and detail intelligence, the holistic approach in architecture - it manifests and translates the way of living - effortlessly.

hmm... and not to mention the minimal reliance of designer's chair -

JULIE SOHN

Notice the slim poles, one headless mannequin, lazy slim mirror at either side, and partial division in proportion to the ceiling height -

JEFF KOONS

Very very cool public art installation by Jeff Koons, an artist based in NYC. Inflatable sculpture! Pop, sophisticated, yet monumental.

ps. we ran the MOD night tour yesterday and today for Archifest08. 

'are these all this neat all the time?'

'omg look at the pencils. they're all sharpened'

'so neat, amazing!'

we've been getting these comments a lot even before the tour.

and i know i've always been amused by the effort our office takes to unwrap the toilet paper from the plastic packaging, and stack many many of them to fill up the whole shelves.

oh well.. the bosses are anal u know.... and they've trained us well indeed!

no colour post-it pasted on monitors, no food on desks, clean desk policy!

KNOTS

Fisherman's Knot

The fisherman's knot is used for joining two fine lines such as fishing leaders.
It is simply two overhand knots, one holding the right-hand line, and the the other
the left-hand line. Pull each of the two overhand knots taut separately. Then make
the whole knot taut so the two overhand knots come together by pulling on the
standing parts of each line.


Miller's Knot

This is a close relative of the clove hitch and is used in tying sacks with
heavy string or cord. Note that the first turn around the sack leads over the
forefinger and the others pass under all fingers.


Double Carrick Bend

The double carrick bend is used for joining 2 very thick ropes at the end,
usually used by towboats to tow large cargo ships. the ends should be tied
together.
