    Blue Tarp – Houses

    blue tarp housesThese pictures were taken last spring in Vietnam, similar developments can also be seen in China. Blue Tarp is being used as a low-tech shell against wind & water due to its easy handling and reusability as seen here. The above shags seem to be temporary shelter for moving workforces along new-built highways.

    Roof Commercials – 002

    desert-green-02-blog.jpgA follow-up on the earlier topic. This green spot in the desert is not only of ‘urban’ importance but also inspires as graphic or logo to build large-scale commercials seen ‘from above’.

    roof-adds-target-lga-blog-03.jpg target-sign-blog.jpgApproaching La Guardia Airport it can be seen out of your plane window (wind & weather permitting) and today I came across this on google earth working on another project. ‘Target’ uses its simple logo as a roof commercial, only being seen from a plane. However, the logo merges seamlessly into the graphic language of a navigation system.

    New York City Cabs

    y-cab-9-blog.jpgWho would not associate New York with a Yellow Cab? After successfully showing these pics on the urbanizr flickr spot they should become a step of this blog.  Blur in the pictures anonymizes the actual location, the actual moment making this an access door to each our individual memories.
