From a preset set of "rules", Siggi Eggertson creates beautiful illustrations, that, somehow, seem to benefit from those, self-imposed, limitations.
Just 2 examples.
Only triangles:
Horizontal and vertical lines, 45º lines and quarter circles (mostly):
Water from air, where it is most needed.
In their own words:
'WarkaWater' is a project conceived for the mountainous regions in Ethiopia, where women and children walk several hours to collect water. To ease this dramatic condition, the studio ‘Architecture and Vision’ is developing the project ‘WarkaWater’ which is harvesting potable water from the air and honors the disappearing Ethiopian warka trees. The 9 m tall bamboo framework has a special fabric hanging inside capable to collect potable water from the air by condensation. The lightweight structure is designed with parametric computing, but can be built with local skills and materials by the village inhabitants.
Apart from the high praise for the noble idea, notable mentions also for the elegant/simple/sustainable/beautiful design and execution.
The best part of this one: the clever use of the limited color palette.
albert einsteinin theory, theory and practice are the same.
in practice, they are not.
The 3D animated "Inspirations" materializes a representation of how a(n) "perfect"/ideal Escher's workplace could have been.
All the featured elements are listed/detailed after the jumps.
(Contrasting with the bad pun), a brilliant idea! And. In hindsight. An "obvious" (!?) one.
Regardless. I'd sure love to try one of those! Here's hoping they make them available in other/more (tropical) venues!
Beautiful version of Werner Graul's original Metropolis poster.
Benefiting from, and, inspired by, a multistable perceptual phenomenon, explored by, amongst others, M. C. Escher and Roger Penrose. The font's design "plays" with this effect to create/achieve a typeface that can't exist in the real/physical world.
Dubbed Frustro.
Designed by Márton Hegedűs.
"Spreading" the word!
