Yann's Flux Radiants

This one goes to this a photographer named Yann Toma a French artist who takes a subject to work about.
For this job the inspiration came from energy, lights and social networks from the 60's in France. You can see a lot of work research and bunch of other things in his work.

During the decade of the 90's he went to installations of a former light company where this session of photos was taken.











































It is awesome how he has managed to get the perfect exposition and everything still and neat and at the end gets these amazing photos. Pretty much i think the main subject of the work its energy. It’s like in some of them he tries to accent the energy from specific things or places and then, he goes to accent the energy of the human been and the situations we create among us and in the places we are.

TOP TOWERS!

this one of the reasons of why im seriously thinking about moving to some place in south america. Specifically Brazil!

ths has been made by the talented brazilian architects Konigsberger and Vannuchi. They are property of Brascan Inmobiliaria in Sao Paulo. Brazil. Pretty much thats the company who put all the money.

The proyect is is two towers of 24 and 21 storeys and is situated in the city's financial and commercial centre.

Each floor of the tower features a different interior layout, with every office having its own exterior terrace.













The following is from Konigsberger & Vannucchi:

Top Towers: Formal complexity and constructive simplicity
São Paulo, SP

This project in São Paulo, Brazil, demanded the design of two office towers in a terrain of relatively difficult occupation, because of its narrow and elongated shape.

Its location, however, is extremely privileged, situated in the confluence of some of the city’s most important avenues, Paulista Ave., Vergueiro Ave., and Vinte e Três de Maio Ave. The opportunity to design a new building in such a place also represented a great potential for the creation of a new landmark of great visibility in the city’s skyline.

Thus, two major guidelines were present at the development of the Top Towers project. The first was a group of typical demands from the real estate market, which included the thorough use of the terrain’s building potential, the optimization of the private areas and the adoption of the best possible relation between private and common areas.

The second consisted in the architect’s concern of imbuing the project with great formal richness and impressive plasticity that could achieve the goal of creating a new urban reference.

These two relatively conflicting guidelines also needed to be matched through the use of simple and economic constructive techniques, commonly employed by the average building companies in Brazil. This took to the effort of exploring new and innovative applications for common-use, traditional building methods.

VIVA CHICANO!

This is the graphical work of Luis Fitch

I really like this kind of work .I ran into this at some other blog and decided to make a bit of a research more of it and post it. The guy it’s what we locally call "Chicano" who is someone who lives in the united states but he was born in Mexico and he is raised with al the Mexican culture or could be someone that was born in the united states but everything is as if he was born in Mexico.

Luis finch spender the most of his childhood in cities like Guadalajara (where i was born too), Tijuana and the ugly but beautiful Mexico City. The guy says he started drawing as soon as he could hold a crayon at the age of 4. Obviously as you can notice drawing is a big part of what he does during high school in Mexico he started using some other things. After that From 1982 to 1986 while been at Tijuana, he discovered quill pens, inks and Nescafe (don’t know why is that relevant), as well as the fun of heliographic copies cause of that the large format canvases began. In 1987 he settled in Los Angeles and experimented with printing press inks, oils, pigments, pencils, scaling and scratching. He went to the art center college of Design in Pasadena and stills somewhere in the united states.

Luis is a proud member of the Advisory Council Group for Diversity for The American Institute of Graphic Arts in Minnesota. His prevalent work is profiled in international design and marketing publications around the world.

His work has been awarded by the prestigious Peter Glen Special Award for Public Service, highly recognized by the Retail Advertising & Marketing Association and was featured in Graphic Design USA 500th Issue Special People to Watch in 2006.

He is doing business at UNO HISPANIC BRANDING

You can see the Mexican-American culture printed in this specific works. all the Mexican icons and festivities printed for events in the united states the way they are done in Mexico. You can say that’s for the Mexican - american communities other ways some of those events wouldn’t exist at that side of the border.
