tasty apples

being a bit biased i couldn’t resist.

Here at Brunello we are unashamed at the fact that we are Apple fanboys (and girls). These apples with Apple logos and products are the handiwork of a Japanese Apple fan who covered Fuji apples with custom Apple stickers, then waited a month them for to mature.

Think twice before spending that gorgeous new coin…

Before the Euro, Dutch money was the most beautiful in the world. A new Five Euro coin, designed by artist and architect Stani Michiels, is a worthy successor to a great tradition

Michiels won a Dutch Ministry of Finance competition to design a coin with the theme of ‘Netherlands and Architecture’. “I approached the subject ‘Netherlands and Architecture’ from two points of view,” he says on his blog. “On one hand I paid tribute to the rich Dutch architecture history and on the other hand to the contemporary quality of Dutch architecture. These form also the two sides of my coin. Traditionally the front of the coin needs to portray the queen, while the back side displays the value of the coin.”

Bicentennial Hall, National Library / F + A Architects

Project developed from public tender organized by the DIBAM, which envisaged the empowerment of a reading room and exhibition spaces in the lounge Founders of the National Library, along with the acoustic conditioning and lighting of space.

    

The proposal understands the need to build and consolidate the various programmatic areas that currently live in Founders Hall. On the one hand the need for this part of the national library to offer the public a place to house in a free and free to its users and in turn to reinforce this salon as a place of exhibitions at both the permanent and temporary.
