The post Andrés Reisinger Dresses Buildings of Major Cities in Pink appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>For “Take Over” artworks, Reisinger takes viewers to the streets of Tokyo, London, Paris, and New York, among other cities. He invites them to experience the cities in a way they haven’t experienced before, but that still seems familiar and inviting.
The way Reisinger dresses the architecture of the cities that serve as subjects of his works mimics their reputation. For example, Paris has simple and sleek pink sheets that follow the outlines of its buildings. London has elegant drapes, while New York City is donning oversized fuzzy coverings.
In a recent interview, Reisinger explained that he believes digital art is “an expansion of our physical experiences.” This is an approach that he takes when creating his own art.
“At first glance, [my works] are pleasing to the eye, but on a second, more attentive look, they feature elements of oddity,” he shared with Wallpaper. “It is important for every component of the work to be noticed, and for it to happen in a world overwhelmed with visual stimuli, it needs a discrete element of oddity.”

]]>They decided to take four large containers and use them to create a luxury suite for Hong Kong-based company Goodman Westlink.
Three shipping containers were placed on the ground while one was stacked on the top and extended with metal construction. This allowed for six different spaces, including conference room, dining room, and kitchen.
In making the suite, A Work Of Substance opted to maximize the use of glass panels, allowing for natural light to filter in, while also making it possible for residents and guests to enjoy the nature that surrounds them.
Check out this impressive suite below.

]]>Based in Tokyo, Moureaux’s work was inspired by the layers and colors of Tokyo that built a complex depth and density on the street, as well as the Japanese traditional spatial elements like sliding screens. Handling colors as a medium to compose space, her wish is to evoke emotion through colors, with her creations ranging from art and design to architecture.
“In 1995, a week-long trip to Tokyo as an architectural student gave me the passion for colors,” she writes on her website. “An overwhelming number of store signs, flying electrical cables, and the fragments of blue sky between various volumes of buildings – it was the flow of staggering colors pervading the street that built a complex depth and density, creating three-dimensional layers in the city of Tokyo. I felt a lot of emotions seeing all these colors, and in that very moment, I decided to move to this city.”
“Inspired by the traditional Japanese spatial elements like the sliding screens, I began my exploration of ‘surface’ shikiri, gradually developing into thinner colors – ‘line’ shikiri,” she explains. Her exploration of the form of color through surface and lines ranges in scale, from a small art piece to architecture.
“I want to give emotion through colors,” she stressed, “whether it is architecture or an art piece. Through my creation, I want people to see colors, touch colors, and feel colors with their senses. The overflowing effects of colors in space will show that colors can give more than a space, but a space with additional layers of human emotion.”

– An original artwork for the cover of a monographic issue of ElPaís. – #artwork #gallery #inkonpaper #ink #urbanscape #handdrawing #elpais #mistermourao“I studied and worked as an architect so my lexicon is deeply rooted in the city, structures, and urban environments,” he explained in an interview with Form Finding Lab. “Basically, I learned how to design and build through architecture, and now I can distort, exaggerate and repeat all those architectural elements that make up a building or a city and rearrange them in my drawings.”
Inhabiting a place between fine art and illustration, Mourão creates bespoke artworks and large scale murals for various private clients, galleries, and institutions, working on selected editorial commissions as well. Originally from Portugal, and now based in Barcelona, his selected clients include Apple, The New Yorker, and The Washington Post.
Drawing on paper, wood, and metal, his techniques were acquired through trial and error. “Probably the hardest thing to figure out for me was to learn to deal with mistakes,” he admits. “Being a perfectionist is a curse in disguise because it’s very easy to get lost in an endless loop of do-undo and never get to the end of a piece. That’s why I decide to work on a medium where I can’t erase or undo. With pen and paper, there’s no backdoor.
Sure… I scream and kick the wall when I make a mistake but at the end I just have to carry on and finish the drawing.”
Take a look at some of his highly detailed work in the gallery below.

]]>The post Scott Tulay’s Architectural Drawing Are Disorienting appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>A haunting, almost ghosting, sensation pervades his work. Whether inspired by built form or natural context, his art is constructed by an armature of light. Light, or what looks like atmosphere or fog, is engaged in either defining space or dematerializing the landscape or architectural elements depicted.
This treatment of light, combined with an unclear relationship of the viewer’s place in relation to the ground plane, creates a spatial disconnect with an ambiguity of depth and motion. A feeling of disorientation might creep in when looking at his black and white illustrations. In some drawings, the viewer appears to be floating and is looking both up and down at the same time.
“My daughters, who are eight and five, consistently complain that my drawings are ‘too scary,'” admitted Tulay in an interview with Mass Cultural Council. “They will ask me ‘Why can’t you draw something nice, with color, like with a rainbow?’ Once in a while, however, I’ll do a drawing, and they’ll tilt their heads to the side and say ‘Not bad, Dad.’ This scares me.”
Enter his disorienting space (but do so at your own risk!):

]]>Cited by Forbes among the 30 most influential European artists under 30, his installations include the restoration of the Basilica paleocristiana of Siponto – a unique convergence between contemporary art and archaeology. With this installation, he reimagined the architectural remains of the 13th-century chapel.
“I see in wire mesh poetics the depiction of a mental projection or, when related to history, the representation of what used to exist but is no longer there,” Tresoldi explained in an interview with Designboom. “Through transparency, I’m also able to keep a direct link with the environment and to establish a new kind of immersive experience for visitors.”
“I deeply feel the charm of places and I recognize their expressive potential,” he stressed. “My main interest is the relationship between the different elements of the landscape and how contemporary languages dialogue with each other, building its emotional structure. I always spend the right time studying and understanding the characteristics of the site, which become constituent parts of the work.”
His experimentations with wire mesh are as stunning as they are thought-provoking. Take a look for yourself:

]]>The post Frank Gehry’s Futuristic Architectural Designs appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>Since he was a child, Gehry was encouraged to develop his artistic talents, especially by his grandmother with whom he built cities out of wooden scrapes. His latter use of corrugated steel, chain-link fencing, and other ‘everyday’ materials was inspired by spending time in his grandfather’s hardware store.
After failing with university choices a couple of times he finally finished architecture, but the development of his career had to wait while he was busy doing other jobs. His career had a breakthrough when he finished his own residence in Santa Monica, but some of his best-known works are the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Walt Disney Concert Hall in LA, Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris, Weisman Art Museum in Minnesota, The Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, and many more!

]]>Working with pencil and Indian inks, his distinct signature style specializes in creating architectural drawings with an incredible level of hand-drawn detail. It was following the success of his first book Know Your Rodent, that Herem began to develop further his love of illustrating buildings.
“Drawing a building brick by brick allows me to understand its structure and composition much better,” admits the illustrator in an interview with Uncube Magazine.
“The tiniest details are uncovered and the personality of the building itself is also revealed through this process, which is a very lengthy and slow one. During this, I tend to let my mind roam free and often imagine a building’s construction process, trying to picture how many people worked on it, how long it took, the different type of skills they must have had – and then try to produce a drawing in respect to these thoughts.”
“I always wanted to be on the illustration side of things rather than the design side,” he adds. “I’m very interested in the aesthetic aspect of architecture and I find that graphic design allows me to learn about this through the construction of images of buildings. In this way I learn about the history of buildings too.”
Prepare to be wowed.

]]>“I love the laid back life here and connecting to nature every day,” Katrin shared on her personal website. “The rivers and waterfalls, beaches, jungle, going fishing and eating fresh fruits. A little while ago I decided to build a dome house. But not just a regular dome… I wanted it to be something extraordinary, unique, and stunning. Something that takes your breath away.”
And that is how the project Green Moon Lodge was born.
“We made all blocks for the domes ourselves, using a special ‘aircrete’ mix of concrete and foam from dish washing detergent, and handcrafted molds,” she added. “I bought the town’s whole stock of dish washing detergent to make the foam and inject it into the concrete mix.”
According to Katrin, getting the foam density right was the trickiest part, however, eventually, they made 1200 blocks for the construction.
To see Green Moon Lodge check out the gallery below.

]]>The post Daniel Arsham Presents Synergy of Art, Architecture, and Performance appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>Arsham combines spaces and objects using geological materials such as sand, volcanic ash, selenite, rose quartz, obsidian, and glacial rocks to make his art pieces look like they are somehow disrupted or buried somewhere for eternity.
Satire and history are what defines Arsham work, together with the idea of reinterpreting materials and structures to present a one-of-a-kind piece that astounds audiences. The concept behind his art is emphasized by ‘fictional archaeology’, so he takes objects from contemporary life and pop culture and situates them in a setting that turns them into precious artifacts discovered on some long-forgotten archaeological site.
Daniel Arsham is a well-known artist with a global reputation that has been a part of a wide number of solo and group exhibitions across the world, including Paris, Shanghai, Amsterdam, Moscow, Rio de Janeiro, New York, Seoul, Sao Paulo, Los Angeles, Hong Kong and London. He is no stranger to commercial art, too, having collaborated with music stars like Pharrell Williams and megabrands like Adidas.
