Another poster design for the Architecture faculty. This one is for the annual Debs Ball, this year's theme was Nuts and Bolts.
Here is the development of the poster:

This is a different kind of inspiration to my usual.
I was put onto this link by one of my contacts from the edible garden project.
This is Milkwood, an amazing project. As they describe it:
"Milkwood is one small family's shot at being the change we want to see in this world.
From the bare earth up, we're creating an abundant permaculture farm in the central west
of NSW, Australia."
One project of their's really caught my eye. They show us how to make a Wicking Garden Bed.
The photos show the base excavation, which is covered with a tarp, filled with gravel, and a water distribution pipe. There is the beginnings of an in-bed worm farm, and the final product. Brilliant.
There are some other cool things on the website, such as worm towers, and links to local permaculture classes and courses.

Despite the fact that the day started out with 5 hours and 140kms of driving in a very crude vehicle, today was a most successful day. The edible garden for The Right to the City is officially underway.
Everything went according to plan, and I didn't finish too late. We started out by getting the castors onto pallets to make a base for the movable gardens. Trying to attach the castors to the crate was slightly more difficult, but we got them on and set up the garden bed according to plan.
We planted lettuce, chives, parsley and silverbeet, sprinkled some coffee grounds on the garden to keep the slugs and snails away, and mulched it with 100% recycled pallet mulch which is very cool.
I also hinged two half pallets together to form the beginnings of a vertical garden.
(Clockwise from the top left: the materials in the backyard; getting the castors on; the vertical garden; and the finished crate herb garden)

One of my favourite blogs, Inhabitat, came as a great source of inspiration today.
As part of The Right to the City project I've been doing a lot of research into urban agriculture, or permiculture. This is one of the simplest but most effective ideas that I have found to date.
The potential that this project accesses, converting disused concrete lots into flourishing vegetable gardens, could revolutionise city living.
Here is a great video about the Urban Grow Bag:

As part of 'The Right to the City' exhibition new month I've been coordinating the creation of an edible garden. I'll post some photos of the progress, and the final result in weeks to come. But in the meantime here is a little poster a put together to go next to the garden to give people a little information about what we're trying to do.
I used one of my favourite poster styles for this one:

While we're talking bikes...
And while i'm on the topic of bikes, here is one of the most stunning bikes i've ever wanted to see for real. It's the Montante Maserati 8CTF, modelled after a Maserati that one the Indianapolis 500 in 1940.
Maserati and an Italian bike builder called Cicli Montante to create this €3,000 masterpiece, of which only 200 were made (to commemorate the 200 laps of the race).
Also, a couple of really cool bike movies for good measure:

Sometimes great design is so simple (in fact most of the time the simple stuff is the most elegant), and when you combine a beautiful aesthetic with clever function you get magic.
Here is one such example, thanks to talented furniture maker Chris Brigham. This bike shelf is perfect for the tiny modern apartment.

Some friends of mine from university organised a competition as a means of getting the new first year students involved in the faculties extra curricular activities from the get go.
Here are some of the posters I designed for them.
Neither of the teasers (the top two) were used. I was very happy with the final poster (bottom right).

Perhaps it will work now...
Brilliant. It works!!

While searching online the other day I came across this very interesting project by Tatiana Bilbao in Ordos, Inner Mongolia.
The eight segments comprising the conceptual house are beautifully realised in this very clean model.
I'm looking forward to seeing a completed home.
