Light graffiti, also known as light painting are alwasy very interesting for everyone, they are looking awesome and pretty sweet. Here we have gathered some of most beautiful Lifht graffiti art from Lichtfaktor a Cologne, Germany based group. We hope that you will like their work, find out more about the group and their work on: LICHTFAKTOR - LICHTFAKTOR on Behance - LICHTFAKTOR on Flickr The members of LICHTFAKTOR use light to give expression to their creativity. They take advantage of a variety of light sources to produce photos and videos in cities by night. The Cologne artists' collective, consisting of VJ $ehvermögen (photographer and VJ since 1997 with many years of experience in the event field) and JIAR (communications designer and graffiti artist), experiments with the possibilities yielded by bulb (long-term) exposure and painting. Their aim is to explore all aspects of "lightwriting" and to develop it further. The LICHTFAKTOR crew intentionally uses the entire space in which a particular work is produced and integrates it into their photos and animated films in such a way that it's not just a backdrop but a part of the work itself.

In troubled economic times, there is only one high rise office tower being built in Brisbane. So enamoured was the client, GPT, with the design by Cox Rayner Architects that he decided to proceed on the basis that the building's aesthetic, environmental and workplace benefits would lure prospective tenants. The tower's structure is organic in that the columns twist and turn up its 45 storey height, emerging through the roof to form a tree-like canopy. The resulting filigree of structure reflects the city's two iconic Fig Trees in the building's forecourt, but the rationale for the concept was initially pragmatic. This was because the tower is being built over a wide existing loading dock such that there were few points on the ground where columns could land. Cox Rayner Architects with their engineers ARUP devised a structural system where loads could be gradually transferred diagonally down to the land predominantly on one side of the site, avoiding the dock. The concept evolved with several attributes. The columns in the 'web' are abnormally thin at 600 - 400 wide, maximising views to the river. Less concrete is required than in conventional typologies entailing reduced embodied energy in construction. Overall the tower is currently measured to be above 6 star rating under the Green Building Council of Australia's Green Star Design Rating System. The tower has a corner services core that also maximises the availability of views to the office areas, with the structural frame wrapping around the remaining volume inside a glass skin with operable blinds responding to solar orientations. The ground plane is designed as a public thoroughfare space linking the city to its main ferry terminal, such that the foyers are at the first level above. This design enriches the sense of lightness and space for which the building will become renowned

Uniquely designed by Tse & Tse Associees, the Mizra Stand Up Teapot will surely catch every eye's attention. Made of porcelain with a wooden handle, the Mizra Teapot is clean and elegant enough to be on any table for a relaxing tea drinking session. I see a cute little banana boat on one's table in here when used. On the other hand, Mizra can also be one of your stylish decors when not in use by simply letting it stand on its end when not in use. You can also set it aside in your cupboard with no problem at all, as it surely will save a lot of your space.-via

It did catch my attention, but not in a good way. I think it's because my engineering background tells me there is something wrong with the handle...

Illusion, fun, optical, flash, graphic, and more.

Really fascinating. Everyone should take a look at this! :D

The design for the Kaohsiung Cruise Terminal by Emergent is interior driven, biasing building section, and interior spatial effects. The goal is to create a cavernous space which will appear simultaneously massive and lightweight. The project oscillates between volume and surface, avoiding the limitations of exclusively surface-based and volume-based architectures. The Port Services Center, made up of string of hard elliptical volumes, is pushed down into the soft bubble of the Ferry Terminal, so that exterior skin becomes interiorized. This nesting action allows for functional division between the programmatic elements while creating complex interior formations. While the Ferry Terminal is oriented towards the inside, the Port Services Center- consisting primarily of offices- is oriented towards the outside, with views out to the city and the ocean. It is a building within a building. The skin of the Ferry terminal is constructed out of transparent ETFE membrane and hard fiber-composite Armor Plates. These Armor Plates operate as both structure and ornament. They create stiff zones in the skin where the membrane can be affixed. Ultimately, the construction system is a hybrid of shell and membrane construction types- what we now call Shell-branes. A pattern of color flows over the armor, both responding to underlying formal features, and at times becoming graphic. Similar to a butterfly wing, coloration follows competing criteria, such as structural and optical pattern logics. Gradient effects begin to blur boundaries between opacities and transparencies, creating unifying visual crossovers between the two systems of the Shell-brane. The open space to east and west of the buildable area is designed as new kind of park, which does infrastructural work as well as supporting the picturesque. It is an organic machine, where energy is cultivated and grown inside algae photo-bioreactor pods. Using sunlight as well as artificial light at night, these pods gener

good for handmade vs. industrial process 3d design classes

This is the fantastic work of Berlin-based artist Alexander Korzer-Robinson. The work is made by cutting through books to create assemblies of images in relief. Very skilled stuff...

A great collection of images focusing on death.

That's fascinating. Do you have any idea exactly what that liquid is? It looks a lot thicker than water.

Lady Gaga probably would appreciate things like this! :D
