Rosie Lee / Nike

Mark Fleming of Rosie Lee kindly sent us some ace images of a new campaign they’ve been working on with Nike.

Mark tells us, “In May 2009, Nike relaunched their iconic Nike Sportswear T-Shirt. Rosie Lee were asked to devise a window campaign for all Nike Stores in the UK. Given the oncoming summer, and the nature of a t-shirt, we decided to create giant, playful, sports-inspired landscapes entirely out of t-shirts. We used the bright colours of within the range to make sky, grass, clouds, running tracks, even 3D ducks! Nothing escaped the Sportswear Tee. We worked with Sarah May to help realise the 3D executions, and John Ross to shoot for those spaces instore that couldn’t accommodate the 3D full landscape.”

Büro North

Büro North got in touch at the end of last week to tell us about their shiny new website. There’s some great work from the Melbourne-based multidisciplinary outfit, but do check out their wayfinding portfolio - very slick!

Draught Associates / Building Futures

Draught Associates got in touch with us recently to send us some images of the exhibition they designed for Building Futures. They tell us, “Building Futures is a RIBA initiative set up to create space for discussion about the needs of society from our built environment and, consequently, the built environment professions in 20 years and beyond.”

“The exhibition is called ‘Visualisations of the 21st Century City 2009 - Conflict in Architecture’ which will be on show from 06 MAY- 30 MAY at RIBA. The exhibition intends to explore how we anticipate change within our towns and cities and how we see the practicalities of these changes manifesting, and is supported by the Schools of Architecture at: University of Brighton, University of Bath and Oxford Brookes University.”

Preserve

Mark Spurgeon dropped us a line to tell us about a new project - entitled Preserve - he has undertaken. He tells us, “I have been making a visual record of old hand painted building signage, over time these old hand crafted signs are being replaced with computer cut logos, worn away by the weather, demolished and so on, soon they will be all but a distant memory.”

Mark is looking for contributions to the site so if you have any shots in your own collection, get ‘em sent to Preserve. Save the signs!
