Here are some creative projects that inspire me in May 2013. You can see other projects on my Pinterest or on my Good To Know Series.

+++ ART

Amazing Water & Sound Experiment #2, 2013
Brusspup

The effect that you are seeing can’t be seen with the naked eye. The effect only works through the camera. However, there is a version of the project you can do where the effect would be visible with the naked eye. For that project, you’d have to use a strobe light.

+++ ARCHITECTURE

Yufutoku Restaurant – Tokyo, Japan, 2013 
Jun Vera

Located in central Tokyo, right around the corner from the major thoroughfare Meguro Street, is a ‘soba’ noodle shop, the owner’s residence situated above. The building has Machiya-style wooden louvers, invoking a traditional Japanese townhouse, but the depth of each louver is varied sequentially across the face. Regionally different patterns of light spill through the façade from the interior, allowing a gradual change of character at dawn, especially as viewed from the main street. via contemporist.com

+++ DESIGN

Paper LED Torch Light, 2013
Kazuhiro Yamanaka

Made exclusively using a cut-out piece of paper and a battery operated LED, the minimal torch light by japanese designer kazuhiro yamanaka rolls up to create an ample illumination source. When a user gyrates the sheet into a cylindrical form, the slit contained within the parchment extrudes inwards, automatically powering the LED attachment via two thin hidden switches. as soon as the volume becomes flat again, the light shuts off. via designboom.com
