UNPACKING BIOPHILIA IN NATURE WITH TEAMLAB, DRIFT & MORE
works by iris van herpen, studio gang, teamlab, DRIFT and more come together in a multisensory exhibition that highlights the transformative power of nature at the denver art museum (DAM). participants in 'biophilia: nature reimagined' call upon us 'to heighten our senses, more closely observe the world around us, and engage in cathartic, quiet moments that allow us to breathe amid the complexities of contemporary life,' darrin alfred, curator of architecture and design at DAM, tells designboom. read our conversation in full here, and explore more recent interviews here.
URBAN BIRDHOUSES GIVE SECOND LIFE TO DISCARDED LINOLEUM
these playful birdhouses repurpose discontinued samples and manufactured linoleum blanks, a material made from natural and renewable ingredients such as linseed oil, pine rosin, wood, cork flour and jute. presented as a game, the easy-to-handle and mount design seeks to provide learning, awareness and coexistence with small animals such as birds that cohabit with us in urban environments. see more submissions by our readers here, and find out how to upload your own project here.
the weekly is an inside review curated by sofia lekka angelopoulou.
