Regent Road Parklet, Cape Town, South Africa, 2015 Van Wyk's view of architecture as an art form relies heavily on the perspective that it "must acknowledge notions of history and theory, criticism of architecture, and urbanism." He wants to restore the architect as an artist, and prevent the field from crystalizing into the "monotonous standardized industry it is transforming into.”

The architecture of Hood Cliff Retreat defers to the landscape, as evidenced by the cedar planks incorporated into several rooms of the home. Wittman Estes Architecture repurposed beams and siding from the original cabin as countertops and interior cladding. The firm's focus on simple details and a restrained material palette kept the construction budget to a minimum.

When you enter the VitraHaus, you receive a "Vitra Key." At the reception desk, you program the credit card-like key with your country of origin and your preferred language, then, as you walk around the VitraHaus, you can use it at kiosks to learn the names and designers of the pieces on display. You can even use it to wish-list products and start shopping (since every product on display is also for sale).

The 301-square-foot cabin is situated on 99 acres on Bruny Island, an island off the coast of Tasmania. For the exterior, the architects have chosen materials that "comply with the Bushfire Attack Level of 19," they explain, including bushfire resistant wood and zincalume metal. The cabin collects its own rainwater—storage tanks are underground for an uncluttered look—and the roof sports solar panels.

Here you can see just how close you are to the pond once you open a window. The lily pads were really at full tilt and in the distance in the water you can see unit blocks that guests can walk on quite far out into the water.

Created with the use of Processing, this is the touchscreen interface with which you can independently control the position of each leg. As you can see, you can tell it which direction you want it to walk, and how much to turn left or right (with three legs on the ground at all times for stability, moving at a maximum speed of 60 meters per hour).

Keep that in mind that whatever you carve away will be inkless. If you want an inky background, carve into the lines of your design, and if you’d rather have your design hold the ink, carve around the line on either side—making it whatever thickness you’d like—and cut away the rest. This may seem pretty basic but I have gotten mixed up myself before and unexpectedly made stamps in reverse-relief. That being said, sometimes the best results come from accidental moments; If you think you’ve messed up, don’t abandon ship. See what you can make of it.

Graphic cowhides on the guest bed, the dining chairs, and the living room floor unite the varying levels of the house. That design element—and the cute oil derrick lamp in the guest bedroom—remind you that, yes, you are in Texas. The drawings are by Erik’s brother Jair, an architect working in New York.
