The Cape Schanck House in Victoria, Australia designed by Jackson Clements Burrows Architects.
On our first site visit we discovered the remnants of a hollowed out burnt log. This informed a starting point for an architectural exploration for the interiors and exterior where the form of the hollowed log suggested possibilities for an architectural solution.

From Matthew Buchanan:
I’ve put my draft post on what’s missing from the custom theme engine on a shelf in light of this announcement from the Tumblr staff. By the looks of it, we’ll now be able to output more specific blocks of content, such as in this example code:
{block:Posts type="photo" tagged="spotlight" count="5"}This request would output the five most recent photo posts that are tagged with the word
spotlight. I wonder if this will be accompanied by potential changes to Tumblr’s URL handling I’ve suggested before, to allow for posts of a particular type to be displayed using the standard page template, such as:http://matthewbuchanan.name/show/audio/Either way, it will provide a superior solution for keeping a list of favourite posts, such as my Favrd column, which is currently hard-coded in the theme file.

From John Gruber:
Best coverage of the new phone I’ve seen anywhere. Looks like 3G performance is a solid win: web pages loading about 2-3 times faster. Also, Snell has a video here, with great side-by-side comparisons to the original.

Otl Aicher posters for the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. A Flickr set. The overall design work surrounding these Olympics is unparalleled – ranging from the architectural work at Olympiapark to its logo and these posters. I especially like this and that. Via Coudal.
