Macquarie University Library: Old vs New

To sum up our blog: The architectural transformation of the Macquarie University Library.

Last photos from furniture fair

I am running out of pictures from Milan Furniture Fair. This is the last set. Enjoy. Hope you like it and found interesting.

Milan

Ok. This is the last series of pictures of Milan. Milan is the second largest Italian city, as you know. One of the world's capital of design. Architecture is also quite impressive there. For example,

Duomo

The same square

Something resembling Paris

Shopping, shopping, shopping ...

Flashing tram

Happy Easter (Egg)

To celebrate Easter and me just sitting at home doing nothing, I thought I'd post up a really cool modern design I found - a multifunction room with egg exterior design. It is called the Blob VB3, and apparently targeted at the small mobile office space, or even for camping or a garden house. Definitely beats a caravan!

Although judging by this picture, I have my qualms about how comfortable it would be to sleep in.

Happy Easter everyone!

As I promised the other day, I am uploading some pictures of Milan. It is quite impressive city. Capital of fashion and design, by the way ...

Hi There and Welcome

Herewith, I am starting our blog about some interior design and architecture. I am starting on my own. Hope some other guys will join me. It'll be nice if anyone posts some ideas and wishes here. So enjoy.

EDIT: This blog now has 3 members :) By collaborating on Wikispaces, this is the storyboard we have come up with.
