dezeen Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 This week sports brand Nike launched a range of knitted running shoes, car brand Mini unveiled a panel-van version of the Mini Clubman and RCA graduate Min-Kyu Choi put his award-winning folding plug graduation project into production. A website called Arch Leaks was launched to revel the secrets of architecture firms and some users immediately set about creating and rating fake practices, while open-source designs for spectacle frames cut from 18mm plywood stirred up an amusing debate among our readers. ”We are currently working on the next iteration of WikiGlasses – a range of 18mm ply open-source contact lenses,” comments the designer. Meanwhile construction began on David Adjaye’s Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington DC and Kengo Kuma and Associates showed a Starbucks outlet that one reader claims is “possibly the coolest coffee shop ever.” Our most popular story featured a house in hiding with a secret doorway while a stripy, faceted, monochrome church interior had even our least pious readers ready to convert.
