Aerial Modernism
21 January 2010
“Some of the most famous modern buildings are now preserved as public landmarks, which anyone can visit and tour. Others remain private, viewed only through architectural photography and magazine features. Those that are in historical registries can at least be located on maps, which means through the magic that is Google Satellite, they can be seen from high above in the context of their landscape”.
Take a look at the feature from our good friends at Dwell Magazine
Science Center
20 January 2010
Took another visit to the California Academy of Sciences this past week.
My favorite by far is the Steinhart Aquarium with all the moving exhibits.
Some much needed respite…
Racing. Not posing.

A few months to go before the motor sport season beings, I find myself watching endless hours of new and old online footage.
This video evokes what it all means to me. True passion, enough said…
Racing. Not posing.
Caffé
16 January 2010
Always searching for the perfect cup of coffee in the morning.
There are many of options but I am trying to keep within reasonable walking distance to the loft.
Since I have been up north Sight Glass has been my daily. I can really appreciate the aesthetic and the coffee is stellar.
Looking forward to the full retail operation in the coming months…
Mattson Two studio session
15 January 2010
Stopped by the recording studio to visit with Tommy the other night.
Upon arrival Thomas was in the booth performing his producer duties for Galaxia recording artists Mattson Two.
Rumor has it this board was used on GNR’s Appetite for Destruction.
It did kind of smell funny…
General Store
15 January 2010
Stopped by General Store to visit with Serena.
Such a nice feeling and change of pace out by the beach.
The store has a nice mix of furniture, clothing, tools, plants, household items, books, jewelry, cards and small electronics.

Dwell
13 January 2010
Always nice to drop by Dwell for a visit with Kyle while up in the city.
He recently co-designed the logo for a coffee company where coincidentally I started my morning.
There is the possibility that Arkitip will curate a project specific for Dwell in the coming months, more on that later…
San Francisco
12 January 2010
Been up in SF finalizing a bunch of Arkitip projects, grabbing a few meetings and trying to connect with everyone I have not seen in a few months.
In between some great Vietnamese noodles and Bluebottle is the gold teeth spot.
Moses snapped a quick shot inside, while Tim was lining up a tooth or so for his grill.
Diadora
11 January 2010
As one of my favorite brands growing up, this photo I took in a sporting goods store brought me back. (so did the pricing, $14.99)
“Diadora is a tale of a family business that started in Italy, grew in Italy, and is still proud to be manufactured in Italy.”
Love that logo, a true classic…
