@ = high design esteem

consider everything an experiment
Sunday, March 14th, 2010nothing is a mistake. there’s no win and no fail. there’s only make. the only rule is work. if you work it will lead to something. it’s the people who do all the work all the time who eventually catch on to things. don’t try to create and analyze at the same time. they’re different processes. be happy whenever you can manage it. enjoy yourself. it’s lighter than you think. always be around. come or go to everything. always go to classes. read. anything you can get your hands on. look at movies. carefully. often. save everything – it might come in handy later. there should be new rules next week.

HOUSE of HANDS Halloween Havanna – party setup
Sunday, November 8th, 2009graypants collaborated with House of Hands on the human hive themed art party at havana on halloween night. we enlisted Jaws (our laser cutter) for a week of shredding to help cut 1500 cardboard rings to clad the walls of the hive. we also hung a cluster of our HIVE shaped scraplights at the center of the space. the party was a huge success for House of Hands and will likely lead to another bash at the same location on new year’s eve. we’ll keep you posted! photos by marius nita.
a huge thank you!!

most of us know this corner
Saturday, August 29th, 2009It’s my favorite corner in Seattle. Yeah, I know – It’s that decrepit old building at Pine + 11th, and most of us Capitol Hill residents have been waiting for years to finally see it replaced or at least used for something other than a plasterboard for posters and graffiti. Somehow, though, it’s become a cultural staple in the neighborhood for me, and I look forward to walking by it every day.
As of about a month ago now, it has been slated to be developed as a mix of retail and artist housing. This is great news, but Capitol Hill needs this to be a successful project. I’m grateful that the design for the new 6-story building will preserve and make use of the original building’s facade, but PLEASE – let’s do this right.
pods
Saturday, August 8th, 2009
what is it with these things? i come across examples every day. is anyone else out there as intrigued as i am by confined or claustrophobic (and preferably glowing) pods? or by the purity of these things across such a massive range in scale?
just me?
