Birds’ feathers photographs taken in Germany has been used in some of our projects as wall decoration and also as inspiration for patterns for the facade of a restaurant project in China. It’s a whole new world of discovery when the details and textures of feathers of wild fowl is captured on camera, quite a sight to behold, especially up close. But honestly no photographic work is complete without the appreciation of graphics as infinitely beautiful medium to express the visual delight of anything caught by the eye. An exemplary site by graphic designer Jonathan Yuen is a must to appreciate photography-graphic design and the proximity between the two disciplines.

A method of photography using the Zone System advocated by Ansel Adams suggested quite rightly, that an artist should visualize the image in his mind’s eye well before actually taking the photograph.

More photographic inspiration comes from these posts.

on design

"Design may indeed be complex, but I could not yet imagine it to be complicated...A work can be torturously complex, extravagant, excessively vulgar even…or it can be so simple and plain, almost to the point where it is devoid of any embellishment or decoration, I wouldn’t have an issue with either, but when it is neither that it is considered utterly mundane and ugly."

on architecture

Yet there is still a little problem I have to solve in my head, and that is that I think architecture is taking a bit too long to becoming like what good art is, generative and always assuming an emotive role. We have yet to make it possible for us to connect to our buildings as easily as we do with a work of art or a piece of music, or things we adore, like our children or our books.
