Nao Matsunaga

Truly exciting and provocative stuff from V&A artist in residence, Nao Matsunaga. Grayson Perry may have embedded ceramics into the fine art arena, but Matsunga pushes the medium into new territory. And you can visit his studio at the museum (on various dates) through September. Go!
"An interest in ceremonial objects and spaces has been at the core of my practice for many years. By their very nature, ritualistic objects and spaces have to transcend the everyday, and I am in interested in how they move into the realm of the unusual and the extraordinary."

Casagrande Laboratory

Some really interesting work from Casagrande Laboratory, from wooden shelters on the beach, to floating saunas and much more, all dealing with one big idea, Freedom.

The Guardian

The online architecture section in the guardian is actually becoming serious and interesting! Pieces on the new Serpentine pavilion, Rem Koolhaas talking about the Venice architecture biennale and an article on rebel architects working in restrictive conditions, plus much, much more.
