Science fiction and Industrial Design. more hanging around at the intersection.

Following on from ogling the pretty pictures of sf architecture, here's an article on how the sequel to the famous anime movie Ghost in the Shell has actual Nissan concept cars in it. Clearly there's a lot of mutual admiration going on here, and as anime becomes more internationally popular maybe ID can tag along for the ride. What an interesting celebrity subculture that would be: I look forward to the day when Hello! magazine has their first animator/industrial designer special issue.

'Bob's loft-style apartment in central Detroit is a testament to the new too-busy-to-even-do-grunge aesthetic. Functional, neo-modernist strip lighting provides a brightly lit interior, and the floors have the interestingly crunchy texture of blue-foam shavings... everywhere the perfume of freshly-cut MDF floats in the air...
