Brighton House, #Australia by FIGR. Architecture & Design @figr_architecture. Read more: Link in bio! Photography: Tom Blachford @blachford. FIGR. Architecture & Design: Like many dwellings from this period, the home has been a building site more than once during the course of its existence. In this case, the clients have owned this Brighton property going back to the 1970s. And as their family grew so did their needs and eventually they commissioned an extension in the 1990s which was designed by architect John Cuthbert. What began as a ‘small update’, this project is yet another re-build iteration based on an emerging set of life circumstances centred around a retired lifestyle, periodic family gatherings, and entertaining grandchildren… #casa #brighton #архитектура www.amazingarchitecture.com ✔ A collection of the best contemporary architecture to inspire you. #design #architecture #amazingarchitecture #architect #arquitectura #luxury #realestate #life #cute #architettura #interiordesign #photooftheday #love #travel #construction #furniture #instagood #fashion #beautiful #archilovers #home #house ‎#amazing #picoftheday #architecturephotography ‎#معماری (at Brighton, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Coko5_kOTil/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

BoBB au, what would be the equivalent of Home is Where the Haunt is/Out of House and Home? 🤔

Y'all always jumpscaring me with questions I can't answer lol /lh

Taxes were still a thing at the time but certainly not mortgages (and ridiculously high hospital bills) so perhaps Pete gets hurt on a job and can't work as the architect/planner for a while? And since gig pigging didn't exist, Sharon and the kids are going around the town doing odd jobs and paid favors for the townsfolk but they just get enough money to afford the necessary medical treatment he needs. They have to leave before the government over the town finds out they can't pay the necessary taxes and arrests them. Scratch meanwhile lives up to his warning signs strewn about the beach and scares away any newcomers since the beach is so visible from the house, breaching and roaring as angrily as possible. (Of course this act is very dangerous and reckless but he had no other choice) When Andrea (a well off citizen of Brighton due to her father's successful shipping and distributing company) hears about Molly having to leave, she gets really upset. They're best friends after all (according to her) so in order to ensure she stays, she promises to pay the taxes for this month and any other month Pete needs to recover straight from her own pocket and tells Molly to promise not to tell anyone so Maxwell doesn't find out (he has ew poor people disease)

I suppose this version is a lot less spectacular than the actual season 1 episode 18 but that episode is peak how am I gonna compete with housewife scratch I was never gonna top that

On July 3rd 1728 Robert Adam, the Scottish architect, furniture and interior designer, was born in Kircaldy

Robert Adam was the son of a Stonemason, William a stonemason who took up architecture, the family moved to Edinburgh when Robert was eleven, where his father had become the most popular architect in Scotland.

He attended The Royal High School in Edinburgh and was noted as having a "feeble constitution" His education continued at The University of Edinburgh where his studies were interrupted in 1745 due to wee bit of upheaval when the Jacobite Army of BPC arrived and occupied the City. Added to this he fell seriously ill at the end on the year and failed to graduate. On his recovery from illness in 1746, he joined his elder brother John as apprentice to his father. He assisted his father on projects such as the building of Inveraray Castle and the continuing extensions of Hopetoun House, his father died in 1748 and Robert and his brother ran the family firm now called Adam Brothers.

In 1750 Robert decided he needed to witness the architecture around Europe and departed on his "Grand Tour" in France and Italy. He studied widely the classical Roman ruins and increased his drawing skills.

On his return he opened his own architectural practice in London and soon became established as one of the most fashionable designers amongst the High Society. His Practice was timely as there was a renewed interest in England for all things Classical and the “Palladian Movement” (Based on the proportional architecture of the Italian Andrea Palladio) had just firmly taken hold. Adam was no slavish Palladian however and his Style has become known as “neoclassical”. He adapted and developed ancient styles rather than simply copying them.

As Adam was more often than not asked to renovate existing buildings much of his work was concerned with interiors. He was obsessive over every detail and designed everything himself down to plasterwork and fireplaces. He moved beyond Roman Style and was influenced by Greek, Byzantine and Italian Baroque design.

Adams work in Scotland include the Royal Exchange, in Edinburgh's High Street on the Royal Mile, The Royal Infirmary, Glasgow, Register House, Edinburgh and The Old College quadrangle at the University of Edinburgh.

In England he designed my favourite, Pulteney Bridge in Bath, as well as Kedleston Hall and Marlborough House, Brighton.

I think I have featured most of these buildings previously in posts so would like to showcase some of the meticulous interior work that Robert Adam was known for. As I've said before I am not a fan of the country houses, the places that reek of wealth, give me a ruined castle any day, but you have to admire the work that went into these interiors.

As seen in the first picture, Kenwood Library was added to Kenwood house in London by Adam between 1767-69 and you have to admit, it is beautiful as is The Marble Hall at Kedleston Hall, both these are open to visitors through English Heritage and National Trust respectively. Back in Scotland I couldn't finish this post without mentioning Red Drawing Dining room at Hopetoun House, made famous by the fictional Duke of Sandringham in TV Series Outlander.

Five Songs for Artham Wingfeather

Soldier - Fleurie - Every single line fits him, but I especially love you want to take a drink of that promise land/you gotta wipe the dirt off of your hands/careful, son, you've got dreamer's plans.

Two Oruguitas - Sebastian Yatra - This is a beautiful love song, and it fits Artham and Arundelle perfectly. The Spanish version is also lovely. [Spanish translation note: oruguita=caterpillar & mariposa=butterfly, it's kind of hard to understand without knowing that.]

Space Talk - The Native Architects - I don't know why, but this is also 100% Artham & Arundelle's song.

Battle Scars - Paradise Falls - This is on every single Wingfeather playlist. It's perfect. For Artham, I especially love all the allusions to learning how to fly.

Forest Fire - Brighton - Artham & Esben. It's literally perfect and it hurts. It's about someone who lost a person close to them who they were supposed to take care of, and afterward they're lost. There's comparisons of the flames that killed the person to the flames that consume the bereaved of grief and guilt. Don't even get me started on the second verse. LOOK AT IT:

I keep imagining those flames that did rise And blackened up the sky. The light that showed you barefoot in the snow. And then the fires started building up inside: Exploding, blinding lights... Now I'm the one left screaming through the night.

CHARACTER PLAYLIST: HERE.

UP NEXT: “PIERRE” BY RYN WEAVER

BIOGRAPHY: TW EATING DISORDER MENTION, PERFECTIONISM, SELF IMAGE, CBT

Being born across the pond, Eliza was the product of Giselle Caldwell and Lucian Dragonetti. With the status that both names held in the UK, it was no surprise that Eliza was held to some pretty high standards. This didn’t hinder the young girl from sword fighting with her father and slaying dragons, to dancing around in the garden in her bare feet. To a degree, it was her father who filled her head with wonder and fairytales. Seeing that he was an architect with a love for art history, Eliza was always told lore (mostly Greek Myth) as a means of bedtime stories. Eliza’s mother, Giselle, also paved a way for the young girl’s imagination and love for creativity due to being a professional ballerina for the Royal Ballet.

As Eliza grew older, the seasons of the Dragonetti family have changed. Her father retired and became a professor at Cambridge, whilst her mother was an instructor at the Royal Ballet due to growing out of her prime. At this point, the pressure of molding the young girl were at a 10. She was pushed academically by her father, and her mother so badly wanted Eliza to follow in her steps to where she was a part of a track dance academy that set her up for the Royal Ballet. Eliza wanted to badly to be a professional dancer. Not only due to her admiration of her mother, but because the second she saw The Nutcracker, she wanted nothing more than to be Clara. Even as she was taken out of school along with her sister to focus more on their dancing careers, she saw nothing wrong with trading the normalcy for being home schooled by her father. There was more academic pressure with that arrangement, along with the growing pressures in the dance studio.

With perfection being an overall theme in the realm of ballet, and without having a genuine escape from it at home, Eliza wound up struggling with her self image to the point of an ED. When she realized her sister was going through the same thing, she attempted to escape the world of dance. It seemed unlikely due to her mother retiring from the Royal Ballet to open her own studio in Brighton. It wasn’t until she was in high school, the cracks in the glass became a full shatter when everything became too much. To top it off, she discovered her family wasn’t as picture-perfect as they may have seemed to those looking in from the outside; knowledge of her mother having have had an affair caused Eliza to rebel completely. She dropped out of competitive dance and sold her ballet shoes, which broke her mother’s heart. The blonde went out of her way to get help, attending CBT in order to mend her broken pieces in some way. Through all of this, Eliza was able to find a passion in the realm of cooking. Not sure of her own identity anymore; her whole life being designed by her parents’ hopes and dreams rather than her own, Eliza took to the road at the age of 18 in order to find herself, and hasn’t looked back since. She’s gained quite the attention online for her travel food blog - her passion of being able to learn first-hand about other cultures as well as connect with people around the world now her sole income. Eliza found herself in New York due to her sister getting in contact and getting her here; it’s an odd feeling, but it reminds her of Brighton in some ways.

EXTRA-EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT HER!

Eliza never liked her full name, and has discarded it by the time she was 6; another aspect that upset her mother, but Elizabeth just sounded too proper for the woman. She’s up for anything, and never one to turn down a good time. Eliza is fluent in four languages; Latin, Italian, French and Greek. She wants to learn more Spanish, and knows a bit conversationally - the same goes for Sign Language. Eliza is usually the first one to volunteer to assist another individual, and she’s genuine in doing so. She’s known to stray from the group when out on the town, and befriending new people she comes in contact with. It’s easy for her to build connections, but it’s hard for her to maintain them; seeing that she’s just as great as disappearing as Houdini was. It’s funny because she tends to wear her heart on her sleeve, only for that to wind up being a facade once she gets intimate with someone. Humorous, bright, and free-spirited, Eliza can be the life of the party but she also can rein in back in order to have a more lax day. She is known to love the rain, and sort of just kicks her shoes off to go dance in it. She can play guitar, and loves to strum in order to self-soothe. Eliza also utilizes dance as a creative outlet, but she tends to work in her sister’s studio privately. She also finds her creatively booming in the kitchen, and is always coming up with new food combinations that she loves to share with everyone. Her fervent personality makes her prone to flight as opposed to fight - this also goes hand-in-hand with her impulsivity. She’s always craving to learn new things, and she frequents book shops. Eliza has a whole collection of books from her travels, and she annotates them with her thoughts and highlights through them the parts that genuinely moved her. She’s very enthralled with passion; if someone is passionate, she’s like a moth to a flame. Eliza is prone to igniting people as well, only to leave. She’s trying to figure out who she is, so she does tend to switch up every now and again, but she finds it fun to explore new sides of herself. Overall, she’s just a fun time and trying not to take herself or life too seriously at the moment.

PERSONALITY:

+ Adventurous, Passionate, and Exuberant

How to save your brain from being eaten by AI (maybe): keep a sketchbook

At the beginning of May I started bookmarking photographers who are using AI in interesting ways, to add to my Instagram collection of digital art references (#artdirectionneversleeps). Later that month I did my own first experiments using NightCafe to visualise ideas for a client. It was entertaining and frustrating, partly because of my lack of prompt skills, and partly because the "styles" you could apply to your "artwork" looked exactly like bad fantasy art from the 1980s.

However, by June, photographers I was working with were using Midjourney to conceptualise setups – still with a bit of that tacky SciFi book cover feel, but it was proving genuinely useful to talk about how sets might be designed, for instance. By July, I was seeing film directors use AI for pitching storyboards, and my lovely students at Condé Nast College of Fashion and Design using it for presentation mock-ups.

That's just three months. From AI being a "what?" to becoming a completely logical, natural part of the image-making process, for at least some parts of the creative industries. The speed of change is head-spinning. And this is just the beginning.

Meanwhile, also in May, I was teaching at CNC on a really fun module about Brand Identity Design. Part of this involved the students keeping a sketchbook, to explore and develop their ideas. One of my lectures was about WHY people keep sketchbooks, and I illustrated several points with quotes from designers, architects and artists, and pages from my own sketchbooks from waaaaay back in the day.

Because WBITD, when I was an art student, I kept sketchbooks constantly. Not only was it a course requirement, for me it was also a way to stave off boredom and depression: it's hard to think negative thoughts when your brain is absorbed in analysing the curves of a hand or a coffee cup or a flower. When my best friend and I used to Interrail around Italy, I would draw our cafe tables and the local streets, and we'd get rewarded with extra drinks and desserts by kindly waiters.

Somewhere around the mid 90s I gave up sketching, partly because life got more hectic, and partly because smartphones got invented. When Emma and I started the BID course this summer, it had been a very long time indeed since I cracked open a sketchbook. And, erm, even though I did buy one – a lovely, spiral-bound, hard covered book with wonderful heavyweight paper, from Seawhite of Brighton – it took me another few months to start using it.

Two things pushed me into finally starting: firstly, it's #drawugst and I thought I should try a drawing a day, every day, during August. I started on Tuesday, August 1st, with a graphite pencil sketch of my aloe plant. I did it in semi-darkness, around 9pm, and my hand-eye coordination felt a but rusty, but following the heavy curves of the plant was satisfying.

On Wednesday I drew fallen agapanthus blossoms, playing with coloured marker pens (of which I have a ridiculously huge collection, almost never used). This was a reminder of the importance of not trying to control the end result while you're sketching. Because you just can't.

Yesterday evening I scribbled our messy after-dinner table. I used the graphite pencil, a Koh-I-Noor Hardtmuth charcoal pencil, and an Edding 1225 calligraphy pen – and blackberries. The fruit, not the redundant communication device. Blackberry juice is a fabulous art material – it gives this beautiful purple inky result, and it's such a pleasure to smear all over the paper. I'd picked the berries earlier this evening on Wormwood Scrubs, just to add to the satisfaction of the whole experience. (And this morning I made almond milk smoothies with the rest of them.)

The other thing which made me finally restart a sketchbook after all this time is AI. I can see that it is just going to get bigger, more powerful, and more indispensable in my industry. I'm not going to worry about losing my job to a bot (I don't have "a job", anyhow), but I am concerned about what it will do to our creativity.

When you use one tool extensively it starts to train your brain, you develop habits and shortcuts. It's one thing to have tricks for making the most of Photoshop, or to have routines when you set up an InDesign document. But when you're trying to generate ideas you need to keep an open mind. To look at things from different angles. To look again, look harder. Try wacky ideas. Draw with your food. Stick things onto the pages. Doodle. Take a line for a walk. Write notes to self. Be creative. Be messy. Be human.
