Casa Larga by Daniele Claudio Taddei in Brissago, Switzerland. I love the wooden monolith aspect and the high-ceiling living room. I really can&#8217;t stand the pool tough: too bourgeois. More @ contemporist

swisscheeseandbullets: Charles Eames’ conceptual diagram of the design process, displayed at the 1969 exhibition “What Is Design” at the Musée des Arts décoratifs in Paris. Pinched from Gloria Koenig’s excellent (and bargainous) book, Eames. Designers should be made to stare at this for ten minutes each morning. Conviction and enthusiasm: that’s what we should all be aiming for.  I love in particular the use of the expression: society as a whole. AS A WHOLE

Now, that&#8217;s thinking out of the box: windows instead of a wall, a house build around the next door neighbors cherry tree. Living-with couldn&#8217;t be better represented: we should  stop thinking boundaries between us and the others as some walls that protect us and start see them as possibilities to live communicating (put what we are in common) with those next to us.  via kitsunenoir.com
