This is a bit older, but I was very taken with the concept behind San Francisco’s Slow Food Nation pavilion, especially that of Sagan Piechota’s design for the pickle-and-chutney booth.
Featuring walls made of pickle jars and a ceiling composed of 3,000 mason jar lids suspended from wires, a total of 3,024 metal canning lids became an undulating and dynamic “ceiling” suspended with filament, Velcro and earring backs.
The “walls” created with multiple rows of jars simply attached to wood studs and arranged to encourage visitor participation by taking and leaving recipes showcased within the jars themselves.

"I always think of the design world like the medical world; we have people who are plastic surgeons, but we have a lot of people who are in the emergency room and a lot of our designers are in the emergency room dealing with the critical issues like post-disaster issues or systemic issues or poverty."

The Fawcett House
Built in 1961, the Fawcett House is surrounded by walnut trees on a remote plot of farmland in the agricultural heart of the Central Valley in California. Wright’s characteristic obtuse angles and repeated triangles are evident throughout the house.
The private home built by Wright near Los Banos, is one of the few accessible to the public. It recently went on the market, and some gorgeous photos have been posted online.
Read more about the history and architecture of the home on SFGate, or visit the Fawcett House site to view some historic photos.

The Prada Transformer
Rem Koolhaas, the brilliant, subversive force behind the Office for Metropolitan Architecture, has had a great run with Prada, functioning basically as the fashion label’s court architect. In 2001, there was a clever flagship store in SoHo (video here); then came an outlet in LA, an unrealized headquarters in San Francisco, and the exhibition design for a retrospective of Prada’s history. The next chapter opens next month: The so-called “Prada Transformer”, in Seoul, that is meant to be a shape-shifting cultural pavilion. (Link to full article)
