Vancouver vs. Melbourne, Australia – graphic identity

LB — Sun, 12 Aug 2012 01:58:55 +0000

Compare Vancouver’s graphics and logo with Melbourne, Australia’s graphic identity. Any contest?

I am consistently mortified by Vancouver’s recent graphics, especially considering they were launched just before the Olympics and the whole world saw them.

Coloured plexi beach art installation, Sydney

LB — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 23:17:40 +0000

This sculpture installation of coloured plexiglas by Nicholas Elias takes me back to my 60s/70s childood. It’s part of the Sculpture By The Sea exhibition in Sydney, Australia. I’m a bit annoyed I didn’t do this first, though I wanted to make more of a landscaping or entrance feature.

Macquarie Bank, Sydney, Australia, by Clive Wilkinson Architects

LB — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 19:43:49 +0000

Bank in Sydney, Australia, built like a vertical Greek village. Clive Wilkinson Architects. I actually can’t decide if I like this or not. I like the idea, but it still feels a little cold.

More Australia

More Australian place from desire to inspire, the half-Canadian/half-Australian design blog. (See previous Australia post here.) Above, from the Gore St. Fitzroy neighbourhood of Melbourne.

Why is Australian design so cool?

LB — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 09:15:40 +0000

Not a rhetorical question. This is a hodgepodge sample, for sure, and spans decades, but all of it seems to partake of some form or other of adventurousness.

Malcolm is an Australian film released in 1986. I’ve been thinking about it for years.

Best bench/seating platform, and of course it’s Australian

LB — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 01:24:35 +0000

This is the ur-seating platform. Think how many people would gather here at a party, and even Le Chat prefers it. This is from a house in St. Kilda, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia.

Converted churches, Part 2: Belgium, England, Australia

Here are three converted churches which seem much more successful than most of the examples in the last post. Above is a 19th century chapel in the Flemish village of Bazel which has been converted into 2 loft-type houses.
