Sou Fujimoto to build the 2013 Serpentine Pavilion
Sou Fujimoto has designed the Serpentine Pavilion for 2013. Fujimoto had this to say about his design: “The delicate quality of the structure, enhanced by its semi-transparency, will create a geometric, cloud-like form, as if it were mist rising from the undulations of the park. From certain vantage points, the Pavilion will appear to merge with the classical structure of the Serpentine Gallery, with visitors suspended in space.” (The Fox is Black)

A Sidewalk Theater for the Socially Challenged
(The Stairway Cinema photographed by Simon Devitt)
The diminishing (some might say, deterioration) of public social interaction at the “hands” of smartphones and other gadgets has prompted an ever-growing tide of reaction from architects, designers, and other would-be social engineers. OH.NO.SUMO, an experimental design collective from Auckland, New Zealand, decided to get in on the game with a parasitic movie theater that turns a busy street corner into an pop-up cinema.
‘Stairway Cinema’ was built as a haven for city-dwellers, either in transit or idly waiting for a bus or to meet friends. The micro-theater is grafted onto an existing stoop such that the stairs become seats (for up to seven people) and films, selected by viewers, are projected onto the canopy while pedestrians pass below. The cinema doubles as a refuge from rain, and as an incubator of random social encounters. (Architizer via @CristinaGoberna)

Into the Heart of Lightness
Doug Wheeler’s installation “DW 68 VEN MCASD 11” (1968-2011), in San Diego. Photo by Doug Gates/Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego.
The artist Doug Wheeler tells two stories, both having to do with light, that go a long way toward explaining why he is so revered by many fellow artists — as a visionary and a relentlessly stubborn perfectionist — and also why his work has been seen by so few American artgoers over the last few decades, particularly those in New York.
