Bourrasque by Paul Cocksedge

Installed in the courtyard of a hotel in Lyon, the 25-metre-long Bourrasque sculpture was completed for the city’s annual Festival of Lights.
Each sheet was the same size as a sheet of A3 paper and was moulded into shape by hand

The following text is from Paul Cocksedge Studio:

Bourrasque – Lyon – Fête des Lumières – 8th to 11th December 2011

A ream of paper scatters in a gust of wind, soaring high into the black winter night, every sheet glowing bright, against a backdrop of the most exquisite 17th century architecture…

The site is the grand courtyard of Lyon’s Hotel de Ville, and the occasion is the city’s annual Festival of Light, a winter tradition drawing thousands of visitors to its festive attractions.

In his installation “Bourrasque”, designer Paul Cocksedge has combined his interest in the nature and morphology of paper with a subject that has long been an important element of his design work: light…

In both scale and technique, this is an ambitious project. “Bourrasque”, measures 25 metres in length and reaches over 15 metres at its highest point. The 200 A3-sized sheets are made from electroluminescent (EL) material, a technology which has recently advanced rapidly to produce a range of sophisticated colour temperatures, in thin and extremely flexible sheets. Each of these double-sided sheets has been individually moulded by hand in London, and then assembled on site in a structure of extraordinary finesse and detail barely visible to the human eye.

3.200.00 ink dots poster

Hero from Miguel Endara on Vimeo.



Miguel Endara made a commemorating picture of his father.
The drawing is composed entirely out of 3.200.000 ink dots. The time, effort, commitment to the piece shows the importance of the father in the artist's life and the numeration of each dots shows the energy invested in the piece. By using Stippling or pointillism technique, it gives the piece a rich texture and great granulation.

Design The New Stuttgart City Library - Germany

Korean architect Eun Young Yi’s proposal was selected in 1999 from 235 competition entries as the plan for the new central library of the City of Stuttgart.
Yi has created a monolithic cube with two floors underground and nine above. Essentially all of the building, both inside and out is white. The main library floors circle an open-plan with the levels connected by open staircases. Books line the outer walls of each floor.
As a cool nod to the fact that the building is a storehouse of words, the word “library” is installed in four languages on the outside walls. On the North wall in German (the local language), West in English (lingua franca), South in Arabic (the language of ancient knowledge and of Stuttgart’s sister city, Cairo) and East in Korean (Yi’s native language)

Advice to shink in slowly

Advice ti sink in slowly is an on line platform that helps graduates to pass on advice and inspiration to where it can make a difference.
Is an ongoing series of posters designed by graduates for the purpose of passing on advice and inspiration to first year students. An advice poster is given as a welcoming gift to every student starting a course at participating Universities when they enroll.

Everyone has a piece of advice they wish they had known earlier, but often don’t have the chance to pass that advice on to where it can make a difference.

Advice is subjective and above all, it is the attempt at the exchange that matters most. But, by passing on advice in a creative way, it is possible to create something that lasts, that people will want to live with and which may let the advice sink in slowly and help out later on.
