blueprint




















I found this recently on designboom and it caught my attention immediately...the saturation of the blue with the fine white line detailing certain outlines and shapes and features of the location. The Taiwanese team from ou studio were part of DMY berlin design festival 09 and these images are of their installation called 'blueprint'. Read more here also. ou studio's website  contains some very fascinating projects - navigating it is tricky but rewarding. They concern themselves with spatial installation, furniture, interior, architecture, landscape and community development.
There's something so dynamic and forward thinking amongst increasing numbers of such studio enterprises globally that it enlivens the whole agenda of how things can be. This blurring of boundaries and collaborative push allows for optimum creativity and the realisation of projects in exciting new ways. There is something very potent in the idea of a blueprint - the fact something has been conceived to the stage of being put on paper and yet there is further to go and the thing is still in formation.

whimsical... as an engineer, it's interesting... but i really like the plants interaction with the installation... without the plants, it wouldn't work for me...

Love this! So cool. And I love the plants too. It'd be great if they let it get overgrown a bit. It really does add something...

The plants save it looking so temporary ... it would be great to see it getting a bit overgrown I agree Vivi.
Thanks for visiting!

The simplicity of the blue and white works quite well doesn't it! I like the furniture growing out of the wall.
Thanks for visiting Chrissy!
