Anyone who knows me will know that I like photos of derlicit buildings and decay, so I’d like to tell you all about this new website by Hayley Louise.
Her work varies between scrapyards, people, nature, and animals – there are some real gems for all to enjoy.
As always, comments are welcome…
I’ve recently been looking for ingenious ways of living in small spaces and I couldn’t believe it when I saw this project!
What would Honest Abe think? Gregory Lincoln Kloehn and his plush dumpster home? from Varsh Charles Farazdel on Vimeo.
If you have seen any other interesting ways to maximise space please send
me the url links / jpg images / videos. I’d love to make this article into a rolling post and keep it updated with fresh new ideas for small space dwellings.
I’m also interested in industrial conversion projects and commercial to residential adaptations. Please don’t hesitate to comment on this article and send in your ideas and suggestions!
Boidus would like to introduce our new member of the team – Neelam Shah.
Neelam is 19 and recently completed her National Diploma in Multi Media at Croydon College, South London.
She is currently attending the YJA (Young Journalists Academy) Summer School and plans to study a degree in Journalism, Media and Cultural studies at Kingston University in the future. Last year Neelam had her work featured on “End of Show”, also, she recently wrote a short article about climate change for “Your Local Guardian”. To find out more about Neelam click here, and here.
Recently Neelam visited the Bartlett Summer Exhibition, as a non-architecture student it is interesting to hear her
opinions of what she saw, here is her review -
Bartlett Summer Exhibition Architecture Review:
This year’s summer architecture exhibition showcased amazing work created by design and architecture students from University College London.
The exhibition was held in Bartlett School of architecture, Slade galleries on Saturday July 9th and every final project design presented in each room was up to a very impressive standard.
All of the architecture models showcased were very dynamic; the structures were very unique and well thought out.
The use of space on each architectural model was cleverly utilised with the surroundings. Some of the students thought about every single component within the model structure and how the public would interact with the space around them.

Hello and welcome to the new category – “Featured Artist”.
This week we are proud to showcase some work by 3D Visualiser – Nick Smith.
Coming from a design and technical drawing background, and working in the construction sector for a number of years in both Spain and the UK, Nick has supplied visuals of proposed renovations, extensions and landscape designs for client approval before work commenced.
Since then he has discovered the power of Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) and developed the necessary skills to provide scaled, photorealistic visuals and animation incorporating the correct textures, lighting and background scenes to give the client a detailed and accurate vision of the finished project.
Nick is willing and able to travel to provide a service which can be essential for architects, interior and exterior designers, property developers and even home owners to aid with planning applications or sales and marketing requirements before your developments are even completed.
Nick can be contacted through his website.

Wrap: how it came to be -
Wrap was launched a couple of months ago at an exhibition run by Curate40 during London Design Week.
It’s a new quarterly design and illustration magazine that showcases work by talented artists and designers and includes interviews with each contributor.
One great and unique thing about Wrap is that once you’ve looked at and read the magazine, you can also enjoy using it as each sheet can be pulled out and used as wrapping paper.
Three ecologies: a founder thought for the constitution of a new urbanity
Montpelier Campus states a double problem. On one hand, the Campus doesn’t establish a place of urbanity as far as its split character reports a multiplicity of archipelagoes uninhabited and become depopulated outside time and university functioning. On the other hand, that connected to the new environmental preoccupations in the day of the sustainable development. To answer these specificities of the Campus for the University Montpelier South of France engaged from then on a clear stand, asserting the necessity of repositioning the Man in the center of the constitution of the city and of working at a constituent sensory town planning of a contemporary urbanity.

The following is a project proposal letter written to the head of school -
This project is about investigating the way a neighbourhood functions. I wish to consider the movements of people, objects, information and money between various spaces and institutions; to understand what is going on and then to ask if this is the best way.
I have an interest in which aspects of life are private and which are public, and which are somewhere in between. My current position which I wish to develop further, is that if we invent increasingly intricate ways to share spaces, objects, information, labour and money; we invent a more efficient, egalitarian and diverse world.
The inspiration for the working title and a good example of my current thinking is the case of the baked potato:
I stubledUpon this list of 80+ Strange and Fantastic Buildings Architecture and here are few extracts of those I think are really strange:
Device to Root Out Evil (Vancouver, Canada)
02. The Crooked House (Sopot, Poland)
03. Experience Music Project (Seattle, Washington, USA)
04. Druzhba Holiday Center (Yalta, Ukraine)
