Pieometry by Lauren Ko

by 2 Comments

This is probably my last review of the year 2020, and I’m glad it’s a pretty good one. I should also note that this is a review of a cookbook that I have not made any recipes from yet. I plan to start tomorrow, but by that point it may be too late to review for this year. I have however read the whole thing, so I don’t feel too bad about that. One reason I want to review Pieometry for 2020 is that in […]

I have no idea what I’m doing

Exhibition Design by Philip Hughes

by 4 Comments

Say you get a new job, one that’s your dream, but also that you’re grossly under-qualified for. You have limited experience, it requires you move to a different country and you basically have a month to do it. What would you do? Buy a book? Well, congratulations you’re 100% like me. Also you will buy this particular book because you liked the cover. #GoodChoices. This book is not the bible of exhibition design it’s a low-stakes introduction, a sort of ‘which-one-where-does-what’ of exhibition design. I […]

As with any game in this series it had it’s fans and those who hate it because it changed everything again. People should really get to used to that as no two games […]

There are good doors and bad doors.

by Leave a Comment

I have this thing with doors. I find doors tricky, especially the automated and revolving kind. I live close to a mall with a small set of revolving doors, slowly they go round and round and you’re walking up the doors adjusting your walking speed according to the perceived speed of the current revolving of said doors. Then just as you reach the doors, they speed up making it so that I must always sort of jump into the revolution as if it were a […]

Get it For the Photographs

by Leave a Comment

This is a book I’ve seen in a few different higher-end design stores. It seems like the kind of thing that Anthropologie would stock (shoot, maybe they do); I happened to get it at one of those houseware shops that stocks things according to color. We are lucky enough to be heading to Paris at the end of the month, so I felt justified in buying this book. Written by a journalist and photographer, this book feels more coffee table book than guide book. The […]
