Fight Club!

Narrator: You wake up at Seatac, SFO, LAX. You wake up at O'Hare, Dallas-Fort Worth, BWI. Pacific, mountain, central. Lose an hour, gain an hour. This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time. You wake up at Air Harbor International. If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?

Narrator: This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time.

Tyler Durden: Fuck off with your sofa units and strine green stripe patterns, I say never be complete, I say stop being perfect, I say let... lets evolve, let the chips fall where they may.

Tyler Durden: Fuck damnation, man! Fuck redemption! We are God's unwanted children? So be it!

Tyler Durden: Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.

Wake Up and Dream

Hey guys, so Jimi, Manu, Mairo, Hanna Eunbee and I, did an installation for this yoga center called Jivamukti Yoga School in Union Square. They had an event this past weekend called Evolver: Wake Up and Dream and needed a few people to decorate a space for them; their concept was dreams and about living them, they had lectures, DJs, performers and interactive art. Our installation turned out pretty awesome (if I may say) and everyone was really into it. We were all proud of the end result. All the hard work had paid off especially when we saw people interacting with our cardboard light boxes and our color stars made out of recycled water bottles with glows sticks inside.

retirement housing comes to the city

hi people. we're now doing a project on urban housing targeting to clients within the age group that's considered the baby-boommers. when it comes to retirement housing. what comes to most people's mind is probably healthcare and the stereotypical bingo setting. but why can't it be a fun and exciting place to live? I've come across a new york times article that talks about the rising demand on urban retirement housing. as of now, there are only 30 urban retirement housing facilities out of 2,240 in the states. so how do we design and provide a suitable space for our clients so they can live comfortably and enjoy the vibrant lifestyle in the city?
