Welcome to Savannah, GA.
As the new school year awaits me (and a new school- hello SCAD), I have been easing myself back into the design mentality by reconnecting with my favorite blogs and magazines. Here's a quick list of some of the pieces I've enjoyed lately. Check them out.
- "Nerding out on Shit Hot Ceilings, Part I", over at Yellowtrace. How could you not be enticed, with a title like that? An amazing ceiling separates the pros from the novices in the design world. There's also a part II!
-Speaking of shit hot ceilings, SOM's Nada Andric's design for the Burj Khalifa in Dubayy, UAE, is a must-see. The ceilings in particular carve out playful geometries that make for incredibly interesting spaces, and the amount of detail in such an enormous project blows my mind. Take a peek at the slideshow on interiordesign.net.
-My dear friend Max Wastler has an essay in the October issue of Dwell magazine entitled "Ain't That America." Pick up a copy, and in the meantime, swing over to his blog, All Plaid Out. Max is an expert on all things Americana, and All Plaid Out is much beloved in the design world. Last summer we spent an entire afternoon in Brooklyn searching for vintage wooden coat hangers. You'll see what I mean when you read his blog. Read it!
