You may remember Russell Robertson and Jeanne Pfordresher from their first collaboration with LVHRD at BIFOLD: GRN. This time we visited the husband and wife industrial design team at their studio in Sunset Park, Brooklyn to look at prototypes for a fleet of NYC mini-module taxis. It was a late summer afternoon, the kids were off school: in this VDO…

Type NO+: Positive Flow in New Orleans

Mndy Aug.13.2007 4:10pm | by Lominy Luders

As Katrina’s two year anniversary approaches New Orleans is getting the predictable attention from the media, mostly retrospective looks at how little has been done over the past two years to shore New Orleans against renewed ruin from future disaster.

While we agree that pathetic little has been done to protect New Orleans against the very force of nature that devastated the…

Many thanks to all of our contributors, our…

We have reached the end of our MGZN 02 XCRPT Series and, luckily, we have reached the end of MGZN 02. We were hoping that’s the way it would work out. Our next issue is right around the corner.

The final excerpt from MGZN 02 is actually two small excerpts.

NNLVHRD EVNT is a review of “Merge,” an opening at Vancouver’s…

Frdy Jun.22.2007 10:00am | by settlement heart

This week’s excerpt from LVHRD MGZN 02 takes you to a new kind of Oz, the strange and semi-permeable land of desktop work spaces. We like to call it Desktopias.

Taking a cue from LVHRD member Jennifer Daniel, we asked our membership to send us screenshots of the virtual spaces they inhabit every day. Some of these places we’d like to…

This week’s excerpt from LVHRD MGZN 02, HNDCFFD: Strangers with Friction, is a blow-by-blow report by Tobi Elkin of what happened the day LVHRD decided to link two strangers’ fate with a pair of cuffs.

Nick Rhodes and Mary Riley had no idea they’d be spending a day handcuffed together when LVHRD asked them to be the subject of a feature in…

Desktopias

desktop//desktop on NowNow documents the virtual and physical desktops of New York designers, including Sagmeister.

desktop/desktop has been on Core77 and Josh Spear, but we thought we’d mention it again because it coincides so well with Desktopias in LVHRD MGZN 01 and 02, the feature where we published the virtual desktops of some LVHRD members. The workspaces range from cute to gruesome.…
