Glasgow-based artist Jim Lambie can transform
 any space into a visual delight with his geometric
 tape designs. Using everyday vinyl tape, he creates
 angles and lines of contrasting colors that suggest
 movement and optical illusions. He can convert a
 once empty and quiet room into a space filled with
 energy. As viewers enter a converted space, they
 instantly have a visual interaction with the artwork.

Jason Hopkins

Jason Hopkins trabaja en la futura evolución de los seres humanos, combina

formas geométricas y orgánicas creando cuerpos con interesantes estructuras

y formas similares a enormes tumores. Me gusta el buen trabajo sobre la

textura de la piel, en su blog se puede encontrar algunas texturas y tutoriales

interesantes.

"Me fascina la búsqueda en la "perfección" de la humanidad. A través de los instrumentos de la ciencia nos esforzamos por clasificar,comprender, ordenar y, finalmente, dominar el mundo natural que nos rodea. Mis dibujos son exploraciones de posibles futuras genéticas donde la humanidad alcanza esta perfección, donde la ciencia subsana las deficiencias del ser humano."

 

Roll it Experimental Housing / University of Karlsruhe

By Karen Cilento 

Roll It, a cool experimental house, resulted from the collaboration
among different institutes within the University of Karlsruhe. 
This cyclindrical design is a modular protype that provides 
flexible space within a minimum housing unit.  Three different
sections are dedicated to different functional needs: there’s a 
bed and table in section, an exercise cylinder, and a kitchen 
with a sink.
