Settlements and City Strategies by Lekan Jeyifous

Lekan Jeyifo (tumblr / twitter)

This series contains abstracted planimetric drawings and eerily-serene cityscapes that suggest the changing contours of urban settlements. They represent an idea of a degenerate futurism, yet one might find similar typologies and scenes in places such as the favelas of Brazil and North Africa, and in overpopulated cities such as Lagos, Mexico City, and Mumbai. Though outputted digitally, the drawings possess a textured and painterly quality as a result of combining hand-drawn sketches, industrial textures, surfaces of deteriorated paper, and digital architectural models.
A constant interplay between digital and analog processes is important in my work, resulting in a highly layered set of documents. The drawings presented here started out as digital images that were outputted, sketched and drawn over, and scanned back into the computer in order to be retraced, textured, and layered

Modular Acoustic Blocks by Situ Studio

For centuries, rugs and carpets have not only adorned our interiors visually with colors and patterns but they have also softened the spaces we live in acoustically.  By absorbing sound reverberations that would otherwise create harsh and dissonant spaces, carpets provide a sense of acoustic comfort that we usually take for granted.

This project updates these traditional uses of carpet with a modern-day understanding of acoustics, a sensibility for 3-dimensional, aperiodic tiling techniques and a knowledge of contemporary manufacturing processes.
