Phil Kean Designs is proud to be selected to design and build the 2012 New American Home. This year's New American Home is a re-interpretation of the Classic White Box of the 60′s and 70′s that was made so popular by such famous architects and artists as Le Corbusier and Richard Meier. While honoring the architecture of the past, the New American Home represents the priorities that are important to today's lifestyle... details rather than size, leading edge technology, and functional and transitional spaces that have a style and feel that evokes calm and serenity. All this in addition to the architectural significance and environmentally sensitive details found throughout. Comprised of walls of movable glass panels and motorized screens, the floor plan was designed so indoor and outdoor spaces flow into one another. The use of abundant natural lighting within the volumetric and spatial design creates a "wow" factor while also providing a comfortable and serene living environment. At 4100 square feet, the house will be displayed to appeal to the empty nester, but will have four additional rooms that could be converted to bedrooms if needed. The two bedrooms, a master suite with private workout studio, outdoor yoga deck, private sitting room, and spa-like master bath will be accessible by public stairs or private elevator and will take up the entire second floor. The guest suite is located on the main floor with an en-suite bath. Additional public spaces include an art ...

Gustav Stickley and the American Arts & Crafts Movement offers the first comprehensive examination of the life and work of the recognized patriarch of the American Arts & Crafts movement, Gustav Stickley. The exhibition and accompanying catalogue explore Stickley as a business leader and design proselytizer, whose body of work included furnishings, architectural and interior designs, and related imagery that became synonymous with the movement that was at its height between approximately 1880 and 1910. This exhibition includes over 100 works produced by Stickley's designers and workshops, including furniture, metalwork, lighting, and textiles, along with drawings and related designs. Also featured in the exhibition is a re-creation of Stickley's seminal model dining room from his 1903 Syracuse Arts & Crafts exhibition.

Robert Mars discusses the concepts behind his artwork and how the 1960's had significant impact in creating icons of American history that still have relevance today. These icons exist in architecture, furniture design, typography, Automobile design, as well as the socialites and movie stars of the era. Mars is a product of the subdivided and nuanced skateboarding subculture of the early 1980's. In the pre-internet era, where information was not instantly available to millions, any show, meet-up, or happening might be advertised on one flyer or by word of mouth. Only those "in the know" had access to their personal heroes, their icons. In merging his concept of personal idols with those of a more mainstream audience, Mars has focused his work on a deeper analysis of what he considers a "Golden Age" of more accessible American personalities. He has always been fascinated with the era of the 1960's. His early work reflects many of the architectural and mechanical icons of the era. Muscle cars, motels, logos, and hulking monuments to the "modern" feeling of the 1960's permeate his sometimes-lonely landscapes. His more recent work celebrates the culture of celebrity of the 1960's. He is attuned to the instantly recognizable luminaries and idols of the era. The feeling is that there was a tighter cast of characters that achieved the zenith of their popularity in the 60's. There were no "instant internet" celebrities, and instead we live with the myth of more of the enduring ...

The soundtrack was also processed with volume normalization, noise reduction, clipping reduction, and equalization. en.wikipedia.org Industrial design is the use of a combination of applied art and applied science to improve the aesthetics, ergonomics, and usability of a product, but it may also be used to improve the product's marketability and production. The role of an industrial designer is to create and execute design solutions for problems of form, usability, physical ergonomics, marketing, brand development, and sales. The first use of the term "industrial design" is often attributed to the designer Joseph Claude Sinel in 1919 (although he himself denied this in interviews), but the discipline predates 1919 by at least a decade. Its origins lie in the industrialization of consumer products. For instance the Deutscher Werkbund, founded in 1907 and a precursor to the Bauhaus, was a state-sponsored effort to integrate traditional crafts and industrial mass-production techniques, to put Germany on a competitive footing with England and the United States...
