Robert Rauschenberg, 1925–2008

This is a Rauschenberg memorial if we say it is.

Small projects can be as viable as large ones, especially when designers are experimental and develop new methodologies. As with everything, research—and the winding path it sometimes takes us on—is key.

Winners/Losers

If you mark credibility through success, then you can’t ignore failure. FÖDA Studio supplied the presentation drawings which aided Mr. MJ Neal to secure another AIA honor award this past Saturday night. Conversely, we lost big in a collaborative effort to design a new art school for an Estonian competition. ‘Ma ei saa aru’.

The Company You Keep

Caspar Lam has his project The Red Envelope published in the Fall 2008 issue #18 of On Site Magazine. In addition, his review of Edward Wilson’s Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge. Good Company indeed. Read the excerpt…

We Didn't Make These

For those who see our work as decadent-minimalism, focused on hard-edged international style form—suitable only for architects or airport signage—we offer you babies.

Lamberts "Best New Club"

Lamberts has won “Best New Club” in the Austin Chronicle Music Poll. We can’t take credit for the music, liquor or sound system. We can’t take credit for Will Bridges bringing great talent to Lamberts Downtown Barbecue. However, we can be proud of developing the Lamberts brand; designing and maintaining most of their brand vehicles; helping promote the venue with a killer poster or two and this shot of Gary Clark Jr. It’s our contribution.
Cheers to Will, Larry, and Lou.
