Dynamic Tower

The brainchild of world renowned architect David Fisher - the Dynamic Skyscraper redefines buildings as we know them. By definition we all relate to a building as being concrete, regardless of its building materials, in the sense that it is a solid structure whose form remains over time. In this case, it is quite possible that the building in question will never look exactly the same in its entire lifetime. Plans are underway for such towers first in Dubai, then in Moscow. Watch the video and find out more here.

Monocle

This London based, globally focused publication is soon becoming one of our favorites. No other magazine dabs in current affairs, politics, haute couter, and design quite like this. More information here.

Blackberry Touches on IPhone

Blackberry jumps onto the touch phone wagon with their newest piece, the Storm. More here.

Sony PSP concept

Although it isn't real this is an awesome advertising campaign concept for the PSP. It consists of carefully placed transparent billboards with small details. Check the rest out here.

OUTrial House

The epitome of symbiosis between architecture and the environment. Found in Poland, and designed by firm KWKPROMES. More images here.

LG Incite

LG just announced the release of the Incite - it's first real smart phone. Time will tell whether this model is more durable than the many LG phones we have had spend months in repair. Watch out for it's release in a few months.

Focus On: Julien Vallée

Montreal based artist Julien Vallée has been gaining accolades for his amazing graphic design and print work. We especially love the twist he throws on conventional paper media projects. Find out more here.

Alberto Korda - A Revolutionary Lens

What do you get when you combine one of the greatest photographers of our time, Alberto Díaz Gutiérrez better known as Alberto Korda and two of the greatest revolutionaries in history? The most candid and riveting photo expose we have found to date. A must have for the devoted, and a must see for all.

MORE THAN JUST LIQUID AMNESIA

Tequila to diamonds - go figure. Article here.

Peggy

By California based artist Matt Bilfield. We really like the concept behind Peggy.

Orbital Light

The Orbital Light by Czech designer Lucie Koldová. This wouldn't be Koldová's first spherical design, but it is one of our favorites. She has several other standout designs, including some radical chair concepts, which can be found on her website.

Mensa Coffee Table

There is nothing more comely than the infusion of glass and natural tones when it comes to furniture. Both warm and contemporary, the Mensa Coffee Table from Manchester based design firm Lazerian achieves just that.

Focus on: Damien Hirst

In case you hadn't heard "he's kind of a big deal." [sorry for the impromptu Anchorman-like quote] Damien Hirst is a prominent British artist who gained much of his esteem during the 90's. He is most famous for his acid skulls - but we prefer the above pictured "Roses."

EB1 Home, Seattle

A beautiful contemporary home in Seattle. What we like most is the abundance of natural light created by those massive windows. More images can be found here.

The RED Camera

If ever there was an omnipotent camera - this is it. More here.

H & M COMME des GARÇONS

H&M Comme des Garçons will debut on November 13 in more than 200 H&M stores around the world. H&M's creative designer speaks about where the idea came from here. View the collection here.

AGO

The AGO reopens Friday the 14th of November. This Toronto landmark recently got a facelift with a phenomenal glass wave wall. We can't wait to see the updated interior. More information on the AGO here.

Eurasian Fashion Week Official Start

Eurasian Fashion Week is no longer just an alternative Russian Fashion Week. With the number of media and designers from both Asian and European markets growing each year EFW is gaining esteem as a truly global event. With it's official kick off today, r-Lie will be looking to see what this year will have to bring.

House in Somosaguas

This sleek design by Spanish firm A-Cero can be found in the outskirts of Madrid. What attracted us to this house is the ease with which it seemingly fuses into it's surroundings. More than a house, it is an extension of the environment. More information and images on the project can be found here.

Designer Focus - Rudsak

Launched in 1994 this Montreal based company is gaining much earned respect in the world of Fashion. Rudsak provides some of the most timeless yet impeccably stylish leather designs we have seen.

Kanye West - Heartless Video

The animation in this video is remarkable. Hype Williams does it again.

Blast from the Past

The Aatrial House located near Opole, Poland screams of cubism and the 70's. The end result is spectacular. Images here.

Think of the possibilities

These were announced in September, and are on the market now. Imagine being able to project from your laptop or cellphone up to 60 inches in diameter on any surface...we likey. Article here.

Focus On: Mitchell Feinberg

Mitchell is a remarkable luxury still life photographer - probably the best. His recent work with sand impressions really caught our eye. More about the artist here.

The Beauty of Unconventional Design

In this interesting article Tad Toulis explains how unorthodox ideas fuel design.

Villa Storingavika

Villa Storingavika, Bergen Norway. The latest work from Saunders Architects this project was completed in 2008. The amalgamation of the natural wood tones and the modern look of the pillars and glass is flawless. Images and design background can be found here.

Sharp Idea

Pictured above is Sharp's AQUOS Fulltouch 931SH slider. It will come equipped with a 5.2 megapixel camera and a native screen resolution of 1024 x 480. To put that into perspective most of your computer screens are operating at 1024 x 768. Photo courtesy of engadget.
