Artist Feature: Zaha Hadid Architects

/

/

I love architecture—I’m sure that will be my profession in my next life. So writing as my next-life self, I decided to start a series of posts featuring architecture that is particularly art-y or design-y.

Disclaimer: While I wouldn’t particularly love to live in anything that looks like this, what I do love is Hadid’s sprit and how graphic her style is, even though it’s architecture. It’s like her buildings could be the forms that I might create a pattern or interesting poster with. Neat stuff! Read more →

Amazing Airport Installation

/

En route to visit family in the Bay Area for Thanksgiving, we had the surprise pleasure to land at the brand new “Virgin America” terminal at the San Francisco airport. It was amazing…from the furniture configuration at the gates to the restaurants—everything was designed to a tee! But what stood out the most were the incredible art installations. Their collection was better than any museum I’ve been to recently. The above photos are of my favorite installation—huge, nebulous blobs hanging from the ceiling made of some sort of netting. They could be something both aquatic or celestial—a jellyfish or galaxy. Super cool to walk underneath and around.  Read more →
