Shaping Air – The Installations of Yasuaki Onishi

Yasuaki Onishi is a Japanese sculptor and installation artist. He uses humble materials to create his lighter than air works that seem to defy gravity. Writing for Rice University Joshua Fischer explains,

Onishi’s preferred materials – inexpensive, plastic painters’ drop cloths and black hot glue sticks – are not precious, and they can be easily purchased and stuffed into luggage or cardboard boxes for shipping without the precautions of fine art handling. Yet under Onishi’s eye and hand, these banal materials were transformed into a monumental, mountainous form that appeared to float in space.

A Giant Illuminated ‘Castle in the Sky’ Ship Built for the Studio Ghibli Exhibition in Tokyo

Perched in the sky fifty-two stories above Tokyo, a new exhibition celebrates a 30-year retrospective of Studio Ghibli, the Japanese animation studio famous for anime films like Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, and Princess Mononoke. The centerpiece of the Studio Ghibli Expo is a room filled with various airships from several Ghibli films, specifically a sizeable illuminated replica of a ship from Hayao Miyazaki’s Castle in the Sky that rises and falls as if airborne, complete with dozens of whirring propellers. The retrospective also includes original artwork, interactive exhibits, and a small cafe serving 11 dishes inspired by different films. You can additional photos and read more about it on The Creator’s Project and RocketNews24.  Video at above link.

Alta Chalet Is a Modern Take on Blue Mountains’ Traditional Barn

Nestled within a private ski club development in Ontario’s Blue Mountains, this striking monochrome chalet hides a contemporary, inverted interior to maximize the views of the surrounding hills.

In designing Alta Chalet, Atelier Kastelic Buffey embraced the conventions of the vernacular architecture, reinterpreting the area’s traditional barn in subtle new ways.

With 3,000 square feet of living space split across two levels, the modern winter retreat offers an open-plan concept kitchen, dining, and living area, as well as a sauna and an outdoor hot tub deck. Drawing on Nordic rustic minimalism, spaces are sleek, sparse, and sunny, with floor-to-ceiling windows, elegant designer accents, and lots of light natural wood adding warmth and softness to the crisp whitewashed walls.
