How do you translate Brooklyn – a cultural phenomenon and perhaps the most copied location in the world (bold, I know) – and take that style into home furnishings?
BKLYN Designs sought out a cross section of BKLYN’s top talent and put it on display in St. Ann’s Warehouse.
With little sense of irony, these designs spoke to sophistication and good old-fashioned green building. The kids from the famous borough really ramped it up this year. And the streets of DUMBO were filled with onlookers too.

I prefer architecture that complements its surrounding—be it hills, valleys, beaches or skyscrapers. It shouldn't borrow too much from it. My biggest pet peeve in architecture is when architects try to take credit for the sky.

It's AIA's National Archtecture Week 2010 and the organzation is doing a social media blitz encouraging talk about Design Matters on Twitter. The week made me think of how architecture positively affects my life and experiences around the city.

Design Industry Fights Against Aids, or DIFFA, is at the center of many worlds -- fashion, philanthropy, theatrics, and hospitality. Really, what more do you need in an evening?

I am not an expert on art though I do have a fascination with it. The majority of my knowledge is rooted in its history, and as I do not have a place to put the pieces I admire, I had little experience attending a show of current (living) artists.
My curiosity brought me to the Armory Art Show at Pier 92 and 94 on the west side of New York this weekend. For an art fair, it was surprisingly structured. There were aisles, informal booths, and it looked much more formal than I had imagined. I wanted gritty, arty, struggling but alas even art is a business it seems.

Museums have traditionally used their websites as the reflection of their brick and mortar space, where they housed an abridged version of the pieces or the information that can be found inside their buildings. However, there is a trend for greater willingness by museums to become online resources.

Pulse opened Thursday morning with a full house of collectors, dealers, press and even a few artists. Great energy filled the warehouse over on the West Side Highway with dealers optimistic.
Evidently the pulse is back.

What can you do with your collection given limited resources? Many museums today are reevaluating and reinterpreting pieces in their collections when funds are tight to fund expensive traveling exhibitions.

Growth. It was the buzzword at last week’s Greenbuild and as someone who attends multiple A+D events a year, it’s the first time that I’ve heard it associated with a tradeshow in 2009.
Perhaps it is the niche market, federal money, or relevance of sustainable design but Greenbuild’s numbers were up this year. The conference, which is less than a decade old, celebrated a much-quoted 30,000 visitors.

Four days of design events in London brought more diversity than I ever could have expected from such an overdose of interiors. The events were part of London Design Festival Week, an annual September showing that introduces the world to the latest British design ideas. Of course high-end international exhibitors partake as well. Each event, 100% Design, Tent London, The Dock, Focus and Decorex all brought different ideas and voices to the table.

Recently, I went to the newly renovated Museum of Arts and Design (at its new home on Columbus Circle) to see the new exhibition: Second Lives - Remixing the Ordinary. I must admit, part of the reason I went in the first place was to check out the museum’s much buzzed-about architecture. With a new textured façade of glazed tile and glass, offering an expansive vista of Columbus Circle and Central Park, the new building weaves together the museum environment and the street life of the surrounding neighborhood into a seamless, visceral experience.

What do you get when you combine a Pritzker, a Fan and a Handbag? It has been called everything from “genius” to “commercialization gone awry” to a “Star Trek –style spacecraft.” Whether you love or hate it, the 7.500 square foot epicenter where architecture, art and fashion collide is landing in Central Park in October.

DMD set out on the first of our summer outings yesterday. We took a tour of the architecture and design galleries at MoMA lead by Christian Larsen, curatorial assistant. Recharged, we are now making a once a month outing as a team over the summer. More on the power of escape, what we saw (and heard) after the jump.

Cultural institutions are increasingly turning to architectural talent to define their organization. Seeking to make a footprint that extends beyond the building to the brands local, national and international stature, cultural institutions go through an extensive architectural selection processes. Further, these organizations must go through extesnive development planning and--upon opening the doors to their new home--large public relations, advertising and online communications campaigns.....

Sure, there might be an aesthetic association with BKLYN dress.You can picture it: Skinny jeans; Bright sun glasses; A tattoo or two.
But how do you translate Brooklyn – a cultural phenomenon and perhaps the most copied location in the world (bold, I know) – and take that style into home furnishings?
