If architecture has Zaha Hadid as its superstar, landscape architecture has Martha Schwartz. Like I always say to the authors of the designs I make fun of, I am a fan of that designer (really!). I have known Warts since I was in college, which was...omg... two years ago? (haha)... When you say landscape architecture, you expect plants in their "cosmeticated" bests.. So Martha Steward said...if you are going to alter nature's natural form..why limit yourself?...so she's gone more than horticulture (no idea what my basis is for this statement).... I particulary love the donuts and the circular holes once Marthy designed...but it's been a long time ago since I saw it....and to my surprise...she is still kickin and alive....take this Dublin's Grand Canal Square posted in Contemporists. One comment said that they look like Starwars' light sabers sticking out from the ground. I say, Marthwarts was designing this while she was having an accupuncture. it is abstract, so it can be anything honessslee. Apparently, the square is beside Daniel Libeskind's building....now it makes sense...accupuncture helps in eliminating all the toxins from Danny's shards.

eCOKE friendly bottles

Joining the trend to counter the effects of global warning is this design of eco coke bottle by andrew kim (posted in designboom a week ago). According to Andrew, it saves space...so it is eco friendly. All along i thought that the lower portion of the bottle is made of paper....so it is.... bioincredible ......or bioregretable.... or something that will dissolve quikie...IT's NOT. it just saves space...it's quite disappointing. Allllthough.. i love the look. it really competes against the new branding and label design of petsee gola. When displayed...it looks so orderly. The second image above shows the coolness of these bottles when placed side by side. From left, you have...far..fart cola, then the coca, prit, coca ciet, and S water.
Come to think of it, it will be weird to drink something with a fizz from a tetra pack. Try replacing your milk in that tetra pack with coke...and see what the experience is like...weird right? (Image below) Another cool thing about this new design, again when displayed, is when you put them on top of each other... they all bolt in like....like... they are screwing each other.
