Like Colour | Polka Dot Pattern Public Space + London Olympics 2012

The Central Park bridge is a Multicoloured rubber deck & cool colour and graphic Intervention  by Heneghan Peng Architects . The colours are inspired by the London 2012 olympic colours and the rubber surface is only temporary but made of recycled running shoes!

Like Idea + Colour | Zone one of the London underground map made from drinking straws

this is a cool idea by British Designer Kyle Bean (via designboom)

If you can find enough colour straws, go for it!

Like Place | The Long Room in the Trinity Library Dublin, Ireland.

The old library building was constructed in the 18th Century. Pictured here

is the Long Room, 65m in length.

(found via Thing I Like)

Apparently this room inspired the appearance 
of the Jedi Archives in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones

( damn, i would say exact library with just LED's added  - perhaps

a  future-future update for the library anyway )

and on a slightly different note, One of my favourite

library interiors is Asplund's Stockholm Library's Central Rotunda. 

Darn cool chandelier! 

Like Idea | The Infobox

THE INFOBOX - Scanned in from The Architectural Journal 05-06-08

THE INFOBOX WILL STAND WHILE 720 NEW HOMES ARE BUILT AROUND IT

ITS A TEMPORARY SALES SUITE ( EXPECTED TO STAND FOR 8 YRS ) THAT ACTS AS A BEACON FOR UBRAN SPLASH'S TRIBECA DEVELOPMENT AND ADVERTIZES THAT TRIBECA STANDS FOR QUALITY OF CONCEPT, USE + CONSTRUCTION.

 

WHAT THE DESIGN REQUIRED

- MAIN ENTRANCE TO ENTICE PEOPLE IN

- ENOUGH SPACE TO HOLD MEETINGS

- DISPLAY A LARGE SITE MODEL

- VIEWING AREA THAT ALLOW VISITORS TO WATCH THE BUILDING TAKE SHAPE
