Yuri Suzuki designs trumpet-like San Francisco art installation Dezeen 2024-05-20 | Japanese sound artist and designer Yuri Suzuki has created Arborhythm, an immersive outdoor art installation capturing the sights and sounds of San Francisco, California.Suzuki's sound project was commissioned to coincide with the Art of Noise exhibition – a multi-sensory tribute to how design has shaped music consumption over the past 100 years – at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SMOMA).Positioned at SMOMA's entrance, Suzuki's sculptures are visible from a distance and have a distinct technicolour appearance that contrasts against the muted palette of the museum's architecture.The artist was inspired by the shapes of trees when designing the sculptures, which contain speakers transmitting sounds that reference the San Francisco Bay area."The sculpture's form, inspired by trees, symbolises a welcoming presence, while its colours draw from local objects, landmarks, and natural surroundings, further anchoring it in the context of the city," Suzuki told Dezeen.WATCH NEXT: Yuri Suzuki gives Raymond Scott's Electronium electronic sequencer an AI makeover - youtube.com/watch?v=2hsbUAhJCPw Subscribe to our YouTube channel for the latest architecture and design movies: http://bit.ly/1tcULvhLike Dezeen on Facebook: facebook.com/dezeenFollow Dezeen on Twitter: https://x.com/dezeenFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/dezeenCheck out our Pinterest: pinterest.co.uk/dezeen
Gijs Schalkx converts car to run on plastic waste | #Shorts | Dezeen Dezeen 2024-05-16 | Dutch designer Gijs Schalkx has retrofitted an old car to run on an unusual fuel source: waste plastic that is turned back into oil.Schalkx's DIY project, titled The Plastic Car (Is Made of Metal), consists of an old red Volvo with a roof-mounted "de-refinery" that heats plastic to obtain oil for the fuel tank.Schalkx, who is interested in DIY as a form of responsible design and living, wanted to build a car with a similarly original energy source and chose plastic because there was a ready supply to be found in his own household recycling.He sourced an old car from a scrapyard in Germany, fixed it up to be road-legal and fitted his "de-refinery", which he says is quite similar to a "normal oil refinery", to the top.Find out more on dezeen.comFootage by Gijs Schalkx #diy #design #technology

Serpentine Pavilion a great riddle says architect Minsuk Cho | Dezeen Dezeen 2024-05-14 | Architect Minsuk Cho discusses his design for this year's Serpentine Pavilion in this exclusive video produced by Dezeen for the Serpentine.Cho is the founder and lead architect of Mass Studies, an architecture practice based in Seoul, South Korea. He is the 23rd architect to be chosen for the Serpentine commission, and the pavilion will be his first building in the UK."This request felt like we were given a great riddle to demonstrate what this pavilion can do at this point," Cho told Dezeen."We understand architecture itself is not a beginning-to-end narrative, but is part of a larger act that is in between many befores and afters" said Cho.Named Archipelagic Void, the pavilion is set to take the form of five structures or "islands", arranged in a constellation around a central void. Each of the five structures will have a separate purpose, such as a tea house, auditorium and play tower.Cho told Dezeen how he took reference from traditional Korean architecture when designing the pavilion, especially in the use of negative space. The architect told Dezeen how the central void connecting each of the separate structures was informed by Korean madang, small courtyards found in traditional Korean homes.WATCH NEXT: Alessandro Mendini was an "atomic bomb of fantasy" says Philippe Starck - youtu.be/bc097lFsZXA?feature=sharedSubscribe to our YouTube channel for the latest architecture and design movies: http://bit.ly/1tcULvhLike Dezeen on Facebook: facebook.com/dezeenFollow Dezeen on Twitter: twitter.com/DezeenFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/dezeenCheck out our Pinterest: uk.pinterest.com/dezeen
