Looking at all the featured items I’m amazed at how far 3D printing has come and can only imagine what we will be able to create in the very near future.

Shigeru Ban’s Paper Tubes to the Rescue

Yet another reason to admire and be inspired by the work of Shigeru Ban. I came across this article on Time’s website recently. After a cathedral in New Zealand was destroyed by a February 2011 earthquake, the congregation needed a short term solution. Shigeru Ban who is a great modernist architect is also a humanitarian (an unfortunately rare thing among Architects) who has designed and built several temporary structures around the world for earthquake refugees. He designed a beautiful minimal structure for the New Zealand residents for free! More on the cathedral below:

ArchetypeZ.com finally launched!

I’ve finally launched my own website for Archetype Z Studio – my line of modern and unique jewelry – at www.archetypez.com. Although the site is not complete, the basics of it are there. And this blog will hopefully be the most actively updated portion of it. Look for posts related to my work as well as musings on all things modern…or just anything that inspires me.

More to come…
