An impressive light installation in the shape of a Renaissance-era Venetian façade has been set up in the Arsenale venue in Venice for the 14th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia.

Fundamentals, which opens its doors on Saturday 7 June, 2014. The installation, titled Luminaire, is the result of a collaboration between the curator of this year’s Architecture Biennale Rem Koolhaas and the Swarovski Foundation.

Measuring 20 metres in length and consisting of thousands of coloured-glass bulbs and 15kg of Swarovski Crystal Rock, all mounted on an elaborate wooden structure, the installation frames the main entrance to the Monditalia exhibition which offers a timeline of Italy’s history connected to its architecture. The Monditalia exhibition is but one of three interlocking exhibitions comprising this year’s Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia again curated by Koolhaas with the ambition of illuminating the past, present and future of architecture.

Best of Tumblr : This isn’t Happiness

06/05/2014 | Comments: 0 | Posted by: Kate | In: architecture, Art, Design, Event, Fashion Wear, Graphic Design, Haute Couture, Illustration, Photography

Ironic really, because the people over at This Isn’t Happiness bring so much joy to so many people with their deprecating humor and innate ability to poke fun at daily life. For every comical upload they also post hopeful insights and moments of wisdom, cool imagery and on point platitudes. All of which you’ll be screen-shotting for your own Instagram feed.

This isn’t Happiness got my attention with their good looks, but won me over with their sense of humor. It’s a real thing.

Things Organized Neatly is the very definition of beauty in the everyday.

This one is for the OCD in all of us.
