Apparently this tower by Raphael Vinoly has a good chance of getting built in Manhattan. It's quite nice in an understated way, very different than the "typical" a-typical high rises vying for attention lately. It is hard to get a handle on its scale, owing to the enormous windows dominating its facade. 

They pay off on the inside, with a scale and proportion not typically seen in high-rise residential. 

And definitely a one-of-a-kind view

Super excited to see this project coming from Santiago Calatrava. This really appeals to my sense of design and construction: a dynamic and seemingly complex form achieved through smart, modular assembly. It's really just a bent frame repeated over and over with a slight tweak in orientation. With the repetition of parts, re-usable construction hardware, and light and recyclable materials it is both efficient and sustainable (as anything at this scale can be). The even have beautiful line drawings of the construction process! Very Nice.

In contrast to Calatrava's heavy and complex concrete projects executed in the past, the "formwork" used during construction is light, quickly assembled, re-usable and recyclable. 

I will take one, please.

Looks like BMW likes that winery too

It's crazy how much your riding can improve if you master the pump. These guys carry so much energy through the track, and that translates to flow on the trails. Dusty, to Rage?

Why stop at five? This animation is so good, and there are plenty more amazing buildings to choose from

Trying to get back into a bit of painting, definitely rusty but have to try and find the time to keep doing it. at tleast once a week hopefully.

Dusted off the old handcrafted boards to hit some not-so-secret runs in Paradise Valley.

Finally got around to documenting my first complete project with Stark James. Not our typical project, but I feel like we brought a lot of cool touches and subtle moves to this now awesome backyard.
