Natural Beeswax Sculptures by Tomas Libertiny

Continuing his exploration of beauty and intelligence in nature, Tomáš Libertíny has added two more natural beeswax sculptures to his expansive collection. Drawing on his personal struggles, the Rotterdam-based artist has created a bust of Hera, wife of Zeus, and a second iteration of the bust of Nefertiti, Queen of Egypt, addressing themes of depression [...]

A Red Geometry on the Atlantic Ridge

High on a ridge above Portugal’s Atlantic coast, Casa Plaj appears almost imagined: a red geometry in a green expanse, elemental yet precise. Designed by Lisbon-based extrastudio for a young family, the holiday house is both retreat and experiment – built slowly, iteratively, in high attunement to wind, light and time. Its creation captures a [...]

Single-Family Home from the 1920s Transformed by VAUST Studio

Located in Berlin’s Karlshorst Rheinisches Viertel, RPA19 reimagines a single-family home from the 1920s as a site of subtle transformation. With approximately 200 square metres of floor space, the residence underwent a radical yet respectful spatial reorganization. Walls were removed to open up the view and merge spaces, particularly around the kitchen and dining area, [...]

Minimal Form, Maximum Adaptability

What might a table look like when weight, assembly, and use are considered from the inside out? One possible answer is Pipo by Gumpo, a design that strips away excess material and structure while preserving a sense of solidity through proportion and geometry, creating a duality between scale and lightness. At first glance, Pipo appears [...]

Casual Mid-Century Modern: Artistic Living in Prague

The latest project by GutGut Studio in Prague’s Vinohrady redefines the apartment’s layout by removing unnecessary partitions and integrating the former hallway into an open living area. The design relies on precise work with structural limitations, custom-built furniture modules, and a clearly defined private zone hidden behind a light wooden wall that ensures both acoustic [...]

A Geometric Legacy: Zooco Estudio’s Redesign of Regma in Santander

Zooco Estudio has designed a new Regma ice cream parlor on Calle Burgos in Santander, giving fresh spatial expression to the Cantabrian brand’s evolving identity. Founded in 1933, Regma is a cultural fixture in northern Spain, and this project reinterprets its legacy through geometry, materials, and color rather than relying on obvious branding elements. The [...]

SoftPower: Reimagining Barriers Through Art

SoftPower is a land art installation by artist Gregory Orekhov that draws inspiration from the shape and arrangement of sandbags—objects typically linked to war zones and disaster relief. Normally, sandbags serve as urgent tools of protection and resistance. In this work, however, their physical nature is redefined: air replaces sand, and their heavy, functional purpose [...]

Closing the Loop: Building Shapes with a Planar Graph

https://amygoodchild.substack.com/embed

There’s some fun computational geometry in my latest artwork, and in this article I’ll walk through how I take a scramble of disconnected paths and turn them into closed shapes, using half-edges and a planar graph.

Living Fluidly: An Artist’s Home Without Boundaries

It was the kind of project architects dream of: an artist as a client, a rundown terrace in dire need of transformation, and a free-form brief to create a family home without the constraints of traditional design. “It was a really interesting and very exciting way of working,” says Dean Williams, director of the emerging [...]

Estudio Sancal Presents WorkArt at Salone del Mobile

Most manufacturers consider the factory floor a messy but necessary “backstage”. However, this space goes beyond function for the Spanish company known for its expressive upholstery and chromatic mastery. In their recent presentation at Salone del Mobile, titled WorkArt, Estudio Sancal renders tangible this approach by transforming the residue of manufacturing into objects of form [...]
