	... with squares than triangles. I would love to see a small model with 4 elements and a square glass top with rounded corners. In my mind it just seems more balanced and harmonic. I think that the first blocky model had a very good thing going on with the 90 degree edges, because the higher end of each element seemed to rest on the next element's lower end much than after you made them round. It just seemed more stable, more natural as this is how it would look if you really found such three elements and chose to play a little with them. But Koen's right when ...

	... "chipboard" as you folks call it (we in the colonies call it medium density fiberboard) is one of the weakest in tensile strength. In non CE terms it breaks when it's bent. The test is simple, a board of the test material of a specified dimension is placed on a machine which clamps it at either end. Then the test material is pushed down in the center with gradually increasing force as a weight. The winner in the wood product category is plywood, by quite a large margin. Hardwood and pine have a huge variance due to natural imperfections. MDF snaps at a frac ...
	yep	1 Relevance	20 years ago	ite (BE)	General discussion
	yep Yep, i agree wholeheartedly. I do not think anybody will argue your point. However, somehow I do like the combination of both threads. They are, in my mind, a bit like opposing poles of a same dimension: What would you most like to add ? versus What would you least like to detract ? More specifically, I like the contrast these threads have to offer. For me, it is humbling that I lust after a lamp that I can not afford, but actually when asked, parting with my lamps was not the first thing that came to mind. I like that the one thread is really a What wou ...
	The longer	1 Relevance	21 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	The longer dimension of my living room is 14 1/2 feet; I have about 275 books shelved in one long box of that length, supported at head height for easy searching. It bisects the pair of windows on that wall, and the couch is centered beneath it. How many books do you have to display? Several such single-height shelves could be placed at different heights on adjacent walls, with their tops serving as display surfaces for non-literary objects. SDR
	homage	1 Relevance	22 years ago	aa	General discussion
	homage Very grieved that a Great contemporary goes away. as one of very few to have embodied a talent so true and pure, we (the public) are left void of all the hopes for future realisations and projects he now has abandoned. all my sympathies to his friends and family. Maarten Van Severen enlightened with a vision of living so sharp, so real, so true to itself. His design was of a dimension we will admire now and tomorrow. thank you, andreas

	Omygawd, I laughed my butt off I though Lileks was hilarious. His appraisal of Marimekko's Vesimelooni print as a 'Spore-shedding shaved cat butt from the tangerine dimension" nearly gave me a stroke.

	Claire Morgan	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Brent	General discussion
	"Captive - Torn polythene shopping bags, an owl and five mice (all taxidermied), nylon, lead (No birds or animals were killed to make the works on this site)" Beautiful works by Claire Morgan. I don't usually love installation pieces, but these make astonishingly beautiful use of three dimensional space. http://www.claire-morgan.co.uk/index.htm
	I'm so	1 Relevance	20 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	I'm so happy to hear that. . . Wright is no doubt permanently alien to some, and manna to others -- an extreme example of the love-it-or-hate-it syndrome ? The earthy quality in combination with disciplined (if exuberant) geometries is perhaps a major attraction, for me. Scale is another matter; I am always surprised when seeing one of his buildings after knowing it from photographs. I secretly believe his small stature, and his wish to have achieve rich effects on a budget, together may have induced him to play with dimension in such as way as to produce ...

	... or Phillip Glass. And I am quite able to retain my affection for, respect of and connection to the tradition and contemporary expression of more complex orchestral music, whether classical or modern, or post modern. I think the critic was betraying an acute loss of faith in his fellow man (something that is easy to have happen, if one is not vigilant about one's cynicism and arrogance). Frankly, the persons he feared were lost to modernism because of Sgt. Peppers were never going to be devoted to modernism, or any other ism in the first place, at least for ...

	... Greenwich Mean time. They make war with great coordinated precision. They can send satellites to appointments with distant planets with pinpoint accuracy. They can create actuarial tables that allow them to make remarkably reliable forecasts of how long persons are apt to live at any given age. Alas, it also allows them to put the last war, the last crime against humanity, etc., in the past and assign responsibility/blame to prior generations. It dooms them to repeat the mistakes of the past, even when they do remember them. They think that the passage of t ...
	ABC3D: Pop-up Alphabet Book	1 Relevance	19 years ago	peter osullivan	General discussion
	From the lenticular cover that changes with the angle of your hands, all the way to the Z, ABC3D is as much a work of art as it is a pop-up book. Each of the 26 dimensional letters that move and change before your eyes is a treat. C turns into D with a snap. M stands at attention. X becomes Y with a flick of the wrist. And then there?s U? Boldly conceived and brilliantly executed with a striking black, red, and white palette, this is a book that readers and art lovers of all ages will treasure for years to come.

	Lot just passed with a $7000 starting bid. I did catch the preview of this auction and took a close look at those chairs. The new leather upholstery is very nice. However, the teak frame profiles lack the organic refinement of most of Juhl's chairs, with a few members having a two-dimensional feel to them. Until the next time they pop up . . .

	Because enough people with a lot of money to spend want to buy it and there are not enough of them for all of those people. Paintings are flat, yet some of them are valued way more than fully three dimensional objects. It might also be over-priced.
