Design ideas that I love.
Some ideas are techno-based and others follow threads of my interests in ecology, holography, art exhibitions and books.
This first entry has opened my eyes to other possibilities in my small, already flourising garden.

Space is often at a premium. To my mind, design that creates space within the limits of what is available is good design.
Design that accommodates the seasons of our life, and allows for change, also offers a way to grow with us - to extend when necessary and to retract when winter or other variables enter the frame. Working with what is available and building in flexibility and choice are design principles that I am coming to value.
Seven Scenes highlights a new age of interactivity and the possibilities of using mobile devices to explore and connect with our cities.

Sometimes, all it takes is to turn around a bit, look at things from a different perspective:

Also, to be able to see everyday objects as potential for art is to put creativity in its rightful place - part of life - it brings a whole new meaning to domesticity.
This is an idea that has been pulsing in the back of my thoughts for a while, particularly with the latest droughts and floods downunder.
