I’m not convinced about the looks of this bike, but there’s no denying its place in motorcycling history. It’s a 1959 Moto Guzzi Falcone that was worked on by Kenny Howard—better known as Von Dutch. Howard was contracted by the owner, a guy called Richard H. Cormany, who bought the bike secondhand in 1961 and rode it for a year before spending 5,000 hours customizing it. — via Bike EXIF

The architecture doesn’t limit itself to the planning fit but it ends with the realization of the work, and this happens not necessarily before facing the Administrations and the corporations standing around the building trial. The complexity of the relationships and the compromises that there can be at the beginning of an architectural production cannot however justify shortage of the planning commitment and/or the total subjugation to the businessmen and buyers requests: the system that goes from the planning to the realization of the work is always a social action, it is shared, and in there the responsibility of the architecture must be recognized, to all the levels and in every context — via ArchDaily

Beautifully polished case, an unusual stepped bezel and perfectly made onion crown. On the dial, notice that the minute track is four segments, with a lumed triangle at 3, 6, 9 and 12. The hour hand just reaches the step of the dial inset, the minute hand reaches out into the track and is the same length as the ultra-slim second hand. Hands and dial ink are a matched shade of off-white, and the dial is a deep matte gray. — via A Blog to Read

eHouse, design by Axelrod Architects, is a single family house that borrows from two traditions in architecture – a Mediterranean aesthetic of sun and light and a minimalist discipline of line and plane.

The design exhibits a masterful use of that most modern of materials, concrete. The core of the house, both conceptually and structurally, is several vertical and horizontal planes. Conceptually, the vertical planes define the axes of the house and the horizontal planes the spatial volume. Structurally, the concrete elements support every other architectural surface, predominantly glass and drywall — via ArchDaily
