Para durar um ano: Cityscapes

Este post devo-o quase inteiro ao Stunned.org (um nome memorável) e à excelente revista Dezeen. Cityscape, a construção do muito mediático Arne Quinze, foi erigida na Avenue de la Toison d'Or no Centro de Bruxelas, onde deverá permancer apenas um ano.



Aqui, o site de Cityscape. Aqui, as fotos no Flickr. Aqui, o blog de Cityscape. Aqui, o site de Arne Quinze (e já que estou com a mão, aqui, a sua novíssima galeria 113). E o melhor de tudo, um time lapse video que vale a pena ver. E, finalmente, um breve artigo na Dezeen sobre Arne Quinze, de 29 de Outubro passado. Um dos comentário com mais humor que vi no Flickr foi: "Super Mikado!"

Entrevista a Arne Quinze que li no Future Design Days (em 13 Dez. 2006):

"What project are you working with right now?
Everything – at least 35 different projects: Trucks, boats, fashion, shoes, furniture, and lamps. And I don’t have any favourite, I love them all.
Name a designer/architect you appreciate.
A mix between Picasso and Andy Warhol – they never did the same thing, they never stood still. They did different things and projects all the time.
What is the worst design icon off all time?
Designers that think that they are the centre of the world. They’re free to do their thing, but don’t come to me.
What is your dream project?
Everyday is like a dream. I’m completely independent. I have my own studio and factory with 60 employees – I can do whatever I want.
Who do you want to see on FutureDesignDays’ stage and why?
David Bowie. Why? Because he’s a great artist.
Do you have an idea to share with our blog- and newsletter readers?
