Shower Enclosures For Motor Homes

Bruce Mau

Carissimi,
eccovi un testo interessante da leggere mentre vi crogiolate al sole della nostra riviera.....
Bruce Mau e' un famoso designer, inventore e scrittore, nel 1998 pubblico' questo Manifesto (incompleto) per la crescita  che contiene riflessioni, strategie e motivazioni personali.

1. Lasciate che gli eventi vi cambino . Dovete avere voglia di crescere. La crescita è differente da qualcosa che vi accade. Voi producete la crescita. Voi vivete la crescita. Il pre-requisito della crescita: l’apertura per fare esperienza degli avvenimenti e la volontà di venire modificati da essi.

2. Scordate ciò che è buono. Il buono è una quantità nota. Il buono è ciò con cui siamo in accordo. The growth is not necessarily good. Growth is an exploration of the dark recesses that may or may not be helpful to our research. As long as you follow good to never experience real growth.


3. The process is more important than the result. If the result is to drive the process then we'll always where they already were. If process drives the outcome we may not know where we're going, but we know that we want to get us.


4. Love your experiments (as you would love an ugly child). Joy is the engine of growth. Take advantage of la libertà di organizzare il vostro lavoro come una serie di esperimenti meravigliosi, procedimenti, ricerche, tentativi e errori. Prendetevela comoda e permettetevi il gusto di gioire per ogni sbaglio quotidiano.


5. Andate in profondità. Più andate in profondità e più avrete la possibilità di scoprire qualcosa che vale.


6. Concentratevi su ciò che va storto. La risposta errata è una risposta giusta per una domanda differente. Collezionate le risposte errate come parte del processo. Ponetevi domande differenti.


7. Studiate. The studio is a place of study. Take advantage of the needs of production as an excuse to study. Everyone will benefit from it.


8. Let go with the flow. Allow yourself to wander aimlessly. Explore adjacencies. Stay the proceedings. Postponed criticism.


9. Begin anywhere. John Cage says he does not know where to start is one of the most common forms of paralysis. His suggestion: start from where you want.


10. Everyone is a leader. growth occurs. Where should happen allow it to happen. Learn to follow when you need it. Let each command.


11. Gathering ideas. rework applications. Ideas need a dynamic, fluid, generous environment to sustain life. Applications, on the other hand, benefit from critical rigor. Produce a high rate of ideas applied.


12. Move. The market and its operations have a tendency to repeat the success. Resist this. Allow failure and migration to be part of your practice.


13. Delayed. Desincronizzatevi surprised by the standard time and the opportunities that present themselves from the sun.


14. not be fashionable. Fashion is a reactionary fear of the dark dress. Get rid of such limits.


15. Do stupid questions. Growth is fueled by desire and innocence. Assess the answer, not the question. Imagine learning throughout your life at the same rate of an infant.


16. Collaborate. space of people working together is filled with conflict, friction, disagreement, happiness, joy, and immense creative potential.


17. ____________________. Intentionally left blank. Allow space for ideas that you have not had, and the ideas of others.


18. Stay up late. strange things happen when you have gone too far, staying awake for a long time, working hard while you are separated from the rest of the world.


19. Work on metaphors. Each object has the ability to represent any other than what it seems. Work on that representation.


20. carefully evaluate the risks. Time is genetic. The child of yesterday and today and tomorrow's father. The work you produce today will create your future.


21. repeat yourself. If you like something, do it again. If you do not like, do not do more.


22. Build your personal tools. Mix your tools to create unique objects. Only simple tools that are yours may open new avenues for exploration. Remember, tools amplify your capabilities, so even a small tool can make a big difference.


23. State on the shoulders of someone . You can travel much faster when carried on the results of those who preceded you. And the view is much better.


24. Avoid software. The problem is that all the software they own.


25. Do not clean your desk. In the morning you might find something not seen tonight.


26. not participate in the contest. do not stop. It is not good.


27. Read only left-hand pages. Marshall McLuhan did this. Decreasing the load of information, we leave room for what he called our dream.


28. Create new words. Expand the lexicon. The new conditions require new thinking. The thinking demands new forms of expression. The expression generates new conditions.


29 Think with your head. Forget technology. Creativity is not device-dependent.


30. Organization = Libertà. Il vero innovamento nel design, e in altri campi, compare in un contesto. Questo contesto coincide normalmente con una forma di scoperta organizzata in cooperazione. Frank Gehry, ad esempio, era in grado di realizzare Bilbao perche il suo studio poteva supportarne il budget. Il mito di una divisione tra “creativi” e “uomini in giacca e cravatta” è ciò che Leonard Cohen chiama ‘un artificio affascinante del passato’.


31. Non fatevi prestare soldi. Suggerisce ancora una volta Frank Ghery. Tenendo sotto controllo le finanze, manteniamo il controllo dell’aspetto creativo. Non si tratta di un compito che richieda conoscenze remarkable, however, surprising how difficult it is to maintain this discipline, and wonder how many failures in this regard.


32. Listen carefully. Each employee who enters our orbit brings with it its own world, which is much more complex than anyone could hope to imagine. Listening in particular detail and specificity of their needs, desires, ambitions, incorporate their world into ours. Neither of the other party will remain the same.


33. Explore the world. The range of opportunities the world offers is bigger than your TV screen, or internet, or even larger than any simulation environment to create computer graphics, whether it is immersive, interactive, dynamic graphics, object oriented, real-time.


34. Make mistakes quickly. This is not my idea, I got it from someone else. I believe belongs to Andy Grove.


35. Imitate. Do not be afraid of it. Try to get as close as possible. You might not guess the right way and with the separation results could be seriously visible. We have to see the version that Richard Hamilton has made of glass goblet by Marcel Duchamp to realize how imitation as a technique for rich, discredited, and underused.


36 (*). Scat. When you forget the words do what he did Ella (Fitzgerald) just say something else ... but not words.
(* The scat singing does not use the word appears, but meaningless phonemes of sounding appealing.)


37. Break, elongated, twisted, broken, break, bend.


38. Explore the other side. There is given a great deal of freedom when we avoid to solve things with technology tools. We can not unravel the skein because we're treading. Try using older technology and made cheaper by the day, but still full of potential.


39. coffee breaks, car rides, waiting rooms. Real growth often happens in the interstices, outside the areas in which we try to find it, - what Dr. Seuss calls "the waiting place." Hans Ulrich Obrist once I organize a conference on science and art with all the infrastructure of the conference, la festa, le discussioni, i pranzi, gli arrivi in aeroporto, ma senza dare luogo alla conferenza. Apparentemente il fenomeno fu un enorme successo e diede il via a collaborazioni attive ancora oggi.


40. Evitate le specializzazioni. Saltate le staccionate. I confini disciplinari e i regimi di regolamentazione sono tentativi di tenere sotto controllo l’aspetto selvaggio di una vita creativa. Essi sono spesso comprensivi sforzi per mettere ordine a ciò che è disordinato e complesso, in un processo di evoluzione. Il nostro mestiere è quello di saltare le staccionate e evitare le specializzazioni.


41. Ridete. People visiting the studio often note that we laugh a lot. Since I noticed this thing I have taken as a barometer of the tranquility with which we are expressing ourselves.


42. Remember . growth is only possible as a product of history. Without memory, innovation is merely novelty. The story of a direction for growth. However, the memory is not always perfect. Each memory is degraded or composite image of a moment or an event before. What makes us aware of its quality is the past, not the present. This means that every memory is new, a partial erection that differs according to the source, and, as such, itself a potential for growth.


43. Give power to the people. The game only works when people feel they have control of their lives. We can not be professionals if we are not free.

India - impressioni

Photos by Maura

Our viaggio in India di maggio ha preso origine da un'ottima occasione: il matrimonio di due amici di New York. Lo sposo,originariamente indiano, è figlio di un esperto di iconografia ed estetica induista.
Che beata ingenuità da parte mia pensare come prima cosa alla magia della cerimonia induista in Rajastan, ai tre giorni di banchetti, ai sari....
Pur avendo preparato il viaggio con letture e documentazione adeguata, dato che avremmo girato varie regioni, il paese si è rivelato comunque molto al di là della mia immaginazione!
Per degli occidentali come noi, con tutti i principi etici ma anche i sensi di colpa dell'Occidente nel cuore, difficile dire se un paese come questo ci può piacere, senza ridiscutere il concetto stesso di "piacere".
Se "piacere" significa che apprezzeremo visivamente le bellezze del luogo, sicuramente si.
Ma dalle bellezze bisogna chirurgicamente asportare il perpetuo degrado che le avvolge!
Se valutiamo la società e la vita quotidiana a cui si assiste, beh, la risposta è che non ci possono piacere.
Se aggiungiamo le sensazioni corporee (temperatura 48°C, umidità 100%), l'olfatto (miasma incontenibile), l'udito (traffico) ci sono momenti da fuga.
L'India del 2010 mi è sembrata tuttora quella descritta da Pasolini cinquant'anni fa. Un pò meglio o un pò peggio. Le mucche sono ancora scheletri ambulanti, i bambini sono still skinny, do not tell me that they are now all well. Many people still sleeping on the street, the stray dogs and cats ripping the little heart left for you. I certainly never saw, as he wrote, sadness on people's faces. And I've got to feel sad in my turn, to the large amount of constant stimuli to which I referred.



Maybe I'll come back one day, for a closer look at what I thought it was all a fascinating and terrible.
Paradise e inferno uniti insieme su questa terra.
Di sicuro lì c'è qualcosa che da noi è perso.
Ma al momento della partenza, non mi è dispiaciuto sapere che casa mia era altrove...

Incontri creativi - Leslie Oschmann

Anthropologie e' uno dei miei negozi favoriti - da anni!!
Fino ad un anno fa , noi poveri eruropei, dovevamo accontentarci di visitare il loro web oppure di volare negli USA ogni volta che volevamo fare incetta dei loro prodotti, poi finalmente lo scorso anno aprirono nel centro di Londra, e prossimamente un nuovo negozio aprira' a Parigi.
Allora vi chiederete cosa abbia so special about this chain of women's and household items. Be 'while it is not the usual chain. The products are selected around the world and selected from among young emerging designers & artisans. The "woman" Anthropologie and' a creative person with a particular vintage style vaguely romantic and retro. Very important, 'the presentation of the catalog at any store. Their windows always have a theme and every corner turned up for sale and 'great attention to detail, from color to the paper that adorns the walls to the furnishings.
Visit these shops and 'highly creative mental stimulation, not only are clothing original, but also books and cosmetics selected. This is not to visit a department store, but more 'simply during each visit and' how to be transported in special market of Paris, or the square of Marrakesh, in the gallery or antique store.

After this long introduction you will understand my excitement to discover that their Visual Director had recently moved to Amsterdam where he lived and worked.


On a hot July day, so I made the acquaintance of Leslie Oschmann, a nice American lady who had left Anthropologie after nine years of artistic collaboration. After traveling in Europe and have rested for a few years, Leslie had taken dinuovo artistic production.

From his studio in Amsterdam, is responsible for "re-invent" objects found on local markets.
These grants are one of his latest creations, is not it nice?! There is no 'wonder that one of its largest customers is just ....... Anthropologie! I hope to go soon to visit his studio, we are also talking about a possible collaboration ..... we'll see '. Meanwhile, Anthropologie is preparing to open a forty stores across Europe .... get ready my dear!!
bet you will love the Italians.

Rhyming Dinner Invites

New York - note di viaggio

l'installazione dei fratelli Starn sul tetto del Metropolitan 
 foto Valentino C.


Ok, prometto che questo e' l'ultimo post su NY, in caso siate intenzionati a trascorrere qualche giorno in questa grande metropoli eccovi alcune note travel to places and trends that I noticed during my stay: *
poetry installation Starn brothers at the Metropolitan Museum, a beautiful nest of bamboo ', a structure


organic that is improved, controlled and re-invented every day by two brothers.

* our hotel - Marcel at Gramercy - had a beautiful lounge with terrace, the view was perfect at dusk and dawn. Gramercy is a very nice neighborhood, boasts many historic buildings, which are located mainly around Gramercy Park. What the residents appreciate the area are mainly peace, security, exclusivity of organizations located here (such as the Players' Club, the Poetry Society of America and the National Arts Club), in addition to the large amount of fine restaurants and cultural sites. Most buildings are detached houses and brownstones, but in recent years, has started the construction of new buildings and skyscrapers, that have made this exclusive area more accessible to newcomers.
* TOMS - shoes used by almost all the models I have encountered, a kind of espadrilles with humanitarian project in tow, for each pair of shoes sold is donated to the value of a couple more to charity


NY * on a hot, with temperatures from the oven, there 'nothing more' relaxing than a visit to Sally's Spa - a center near our hotel, where experienced Korean ladies you indulge in a pedicure & manicure as I've never found - read that resitesteva a week! The products are the most ESSIE 'used in NY. For people like me who does not love his hands in vibrant colors too, offers a 'bare incredible range of colors and natural tones that e'impossibille to find here in Holland. Also have a 'look at their nice blog . Fatemi sapere se trovate questa marca in Italia......
*il FIT ha anche un museo , purtroppo, sepur locato vicino al palazzo delle mie lezioni, dato l' intenso programma del mio corso, non sono riuscita a visitarlo. La mostra del momento (aperta fino a Novembre) era inerente la moda ecologica. Date un' occhiata qui per una preview.

Best Low-light Camcorder

New York - il servizio fotografico

Daphni - Elite NY
La prossima volta che sfogliate una rivista di moda vi prego di considerare l'incredibile ammontare di lavoro che richiede un servizio fotografico. Sembra semplice, ma in realta' e' un lavoro di team, dove il Fashion Director e lo stilista ricoprono un ruolo importante.
Nel mio caso, il mio gruppo al FIT doveva creare un servizio fotografico per la rivista Visionaire .
Si tratta di una rivista alquanto esclusiva - ogni numero costa 100 dollari - che vuole stimolare i professionisti del mondo della moda, offrendo una combinazione tra arte, moda e fotografia.
Io non conoscevo questa rivista americana, ma una notte di ricerca on line fa miracoli, ed il giorno dopo sapevo che un servizio di moda per Visionaire non era il solito " servizio ".
Con il mio gruppo decidemmo di andare alla ricerca della modella dal look trasgressivo , dramatic and a bit 'conceptual that seemed to fit the tone of the magazine.
The super mega fashion agency Elite NY, appeared to also choose between some girls.

After a careful visit to various department stores - thanks to the contacts we visited the FIT plans are not open to the public where the heads used for other photo shoots, fashion shows are held - the choice of clothes fell on some black leaders rigorously, in particular tissues, such as the warrior's head broke in 'found in the 5th Avenue store Blanc de Chine .

Alle 9.00 di una caldissima - 42 gradi -  mattina di luglio, ci ritrovanno presso lo studio del fotografo Michael Craegh , non lontano da Time Square.
La make up artist Yuko Takahashi e lo stilista dei capelli, Jerry Lopez  ci aspettavano per preparare la modella per il servizio fotografico finale. Lasciatemi dire che non e' facile descrivere un' acconciatura o un certo effetto trucco a parole...certo avevamo portato diverso materiale fotografico, ma la bravura degli artisti del make up e acconciature si vede proprio in questi casi. Infatti sia Yuko Jerry were soon able to translate our ideas into the look of the model.

Cytherea What Happened

New York - al FIT e visita al Mac

Do not be intimidated by the grandeur of the palace, FIT, winds up three huge buildings on 7th Avenue, a busy street. Once inside and 'like any other school, chaotic and creative, huge corridors where traces of life of students (in this If models of clothes, mannequins and more) were still there as a reminder that the school year had just ended. A break
Giel was Marissa, young designer from New Jersey (active on her blog where she writes about fashion), and as I had arrived early. I was pleased to note that the group had not made up solely of vent'enni, luckily there were girls of various ages', experience and origins (Mexico, Brazil, Australia and Canada).
Barbara Berman and Adrienne Weinfeld-Berg would have guided and inspired us during the course.
Barbara is responsible for coordinating the wardrobes of fashion models during the sflilate in NY, works regularly for Valentino ed Oscar del la Renta, ma il suo gruppo ( ha con se molte -60- giovani assistenti) si occupa anche di vestire gente del mondo dello spettaccolo ( interessante la storia di come Diana Ross non si faccia mai vedere da nessuno, Barbara le dovette passare gli abiti, durante un concerto, dalla porta mentre le guardie del corpo la controllavano a vista ), gente della televisione o di curare il look di matrimoni di divi di Hollywood.
                                                                        Barbara
Adrienne e' invece una editrice di moda, con esperienze ventennale, tra le varie riviste con le quali collabora ci sono Vogue Bambini (dove i suoi due figli posavano come modelli), Vogue Gioielli, e molte altre.
                                               
                                                                           Adrienne
Entrambe le tipe erano creative, egocentriche e simpatiche, prendevano terribilmente sul serio il modo della moda ed ODIAVANO immediatamente chi arrivava con un minuto di ritardo!
Tra una parte teorica del corso e l'altra erano comrpese varie visite all'industria, interessante la visita al loft della casa cosmetica MAC , situato vicino al Flat Iron , uno dei primi grattacieli degli anni 20'.

                                      
                                     
                                     
Here the make-up artists try and experiment with new combinations for sflilate fashion. This laboratory and 'open only to professionals, not' the usual store of cosmetics. Fatima Thomas, an artist based in New York showed us the 'one example of how easy it is to donate a certain brightness' in the face with the use of a few products from the natural color. Each season, these artists help fashion designers to create and launch a new look.

Polyps In The Roof Of The Mouth

New York - 4 Luglio

New York offers endless entertainment opportunities. When pianificai my journey I realized that I was in town 'for July 4, the Feast of 'Independence .
This day is celebrated intensely, with family, friends, at sea or in the country, organizing the barbeque so beloved by Americans, then when the sun goes down everyone is waiting for the fireworks.


In NY, the city 'was emptied for the weekend, the heat (30 degrees) was unbearable, so I and my Big Brother, who decided to visit the city' for the first time, we took shelter at the New Museum of Contemporary Art New Museum located on Bowery Street.

The building is' very interesting dal punto di vista archittettonico, progettato da Sejima + Nishizawa/SANAA e dall'americano Gensler, ricorda una pila di scatole, rivestite da una struttura in alluminio annodizzato che riflette la luce sulle pareti.


Dopo una giornata di musei e camminate per la city decidemmo di unirci ai giovani di New York presso L'Hight Bar , un nuovo lounge bar sulla terrazza di un grattacielo nella zona West Side.


Dalla vista panoramica della terrazza Bar dell'Hight could well see the fireworks, long awaited by locals and I personally found it quite normal for a city 'by the economic resources such as New York. Fireworks apart from the city 'he had already' Headline exactmatch absorbed, and we were just at the beginning of our stay .........
