louis vuitton america’s cup world series qualifier race / navy pier chicago / 10 > 12 june 2016

chicagoan’s and visitors, here’s a chance to see one-design ac45f foil catamarans, not on cnn or youtube but in vitro. the event organizers have marketed the chicago round of the america’s cup under the tagline “the windy city is made for this.” we’ll soon find out. some of us are a little disappointed the racecourse is located entirely within chicago’s protective breakwater for safety concerns over choppy lake water conditions. but with moderate wind pressure the high-tech carbon fiber catamarans will raise onto their hydrofoils. they have reached 40 knots / 46mph in open sea conditions. for the first time in its 165-year history, the event will take place on a non-saltwater body of water.

grandstand seats at navy pier’s race village sold old months ago, general admission tickets are still available on the event’s website.

bmw is more than major sponsor of oracle team usa’s america cup racing yacht. bmw brings significant engineering and testing capabilities to the team and the company even assigns certain engineers to the team for the entire competition.

design changes have netted a three-fold increase in top speed. with this speed comes a nine-fold increase in drag. the new boats are lighter and shorter and have been honed aerodynamically.

the biggest change over the last ten years of america’s cup yachts is that the current boats “fly” or foil. at speeds around 17- 20 knots, the twin hull catamaran comes up out of the water on carbon fiber foils. these new boats can reach speeds of 50 knots, yet can turn and stop on a dime. as these boats get faster and faster, proven design technology becomes more important.

[ six teams compete ]

the six teams include five challengers: sweden’s artemis racing, emirates team new zealand, groupama france, great britain’s land rover and softbank team japan. the defending america’s cup winner: oracle team usa. points will determine the seeding for the 35th america’s cup final scheduled to take place next year in bermuda. below> october 2015, louis vuitton america's cup world series bermuda

[ official release ] chicago made maritime history today with lake michigan chosen as the first freshwater venue to host america’s cup racing in the event’s 164-year history.

the louis vuitton america’s cup world series chicago, a qualifying event for the 2017 america’s cup in bermuda, will take place at navy pier from 10 > 12 june 2016.

additionally, organizers announced that chicago-based cme group, the world’s leading and most diverse derivatives marketplace, will be the first foundation partner of the louis vuitton america’s cup world series chicago event.

“chicagoans continue to prove their affinity for all sports and now they have the opportunity to add america’s cup sailing to the list. we have no doubt that our amazing city, its residents and beautiful lake michigan will deliver the ultimate experience for the international sailing community.” said desiree rogers, choose chicago chair.

navy pier, celebrating its centennial in 2016, will serve as event headquarters 10 > 12 june 2016, and include a ticketed viewing area, entertainment and vip hospitality areas for fans to enjoy as the high-performance 45’ foiling catamarans race by at 40+ mph close to the shore.

“we are looking forward to a historic year in 2016 at navy pier,” said marilynn gardner, president and ceo, navy pier inc. “we will celebrate our centennial and an event like the louis vuitton america’s cup world series chicago is a tremendous opportunity to welcome new and returning maritime enthusiasts and casual fans to the pier. there is no better way to showcase our newly renovated and reimagined public spaces to the world.”

oracle team usa, the defending america’s cup champion, has close ties to the “windy city.” larry ellison, the team’s principal, grew up in chicago and studied at the university of illinois and the university of chicago. oracle team usa team member matt cassidy called chicago home for the past five years before relocating to bermuda this past spring.

“chicago is a world-class city, and navy pier’s lakefront architecture creates the perfect sailing venue to showcase the excitement of the modern america’s cup,” said sir russell coutts, america’s cup event authority chief executive officer and five-time america’s cup winner. “regardless of wind direction, spectators are guaranteed up-close racing action.”

chicago’s selection as a host for the louis vuitton america’s cup world series is due in large part to don wilson, a passionate sailor, longtime chicagoan and ceo of drw, a chicago-based principal trading firm. he founded the chicago match race center (cmrc) in 2009 with the goal to bring world-class match racing to the shores of lake michigan. cmrc is the host management company for the event.

“when the international sailing world arrives in chicago next summer, they will understand why lake michigan is called the third coast,” said wilson, chairman, louis vuitton america’s cup world series chicago.

“today’s announcement is just the beginning. thanks to our partners, including navy pier, the chicago sports commission and cme group, we are building the foundation for stadium sailing and the america’s cup in chicago.”

from the 7th to the 9th of november 2014, berlin remembered the 25th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall and the reunification of the city. in line with the festivities, there was a fascinating light installation that marked the former path of the wall with illuminated balloons along a 15.3 km stretch. on the final evening of the installation 8,000 balloon caretakers released the balloons into berlin’s night sky, each carrying a personal message. a moving project with enormous symbolic and charismatic power that made an impact far beyond the borders of germany. the project was realised through private financing – not by the city, which meant that there was a comparatively small budget. this is an impressive demonstration of the fact that one can create something extraordinarily effective even with limited means.

this pair of extraordinary buildings on the campus of the kogakuin university in tokyo houses a japanese archery facility and a boxing club. the two wooden structures made of native, local woods each cover a space of around 7.2 m x 10.8 m. this is about the size of a traditional japanese temple, and these spaces are similarly open and minimal, which has a positive effect on the athletes’ concentration. the special quality, however, is the support-free roof construction, which was planned and realised based on traditional japanese wooden structures. a fascinating statement that contributes to keeping this architectural style alive in the cultural memory. the way these buildings have transformed functionality into aesthetics can only be described as sensational.

the designers of the exp 10 speed 6 achieved a fantastic reinterpretation of the british legend and a self-aware statement of luxury and extravagance on the highest level. this is particularly apparent when looking at the interior. the door panels are not covered with leather matching the material used for steering wheel and seats like usual, but instead are covered with high-quality wood. the possibilities in high-quality processing and craftsmanship are demonstrated here. the exterior inspires with a progressive/elegant design vocabulary that transports the classic car into the future. muscular, athletically shaped surfaces that are inspired by aerodynamic shapes such as aircraft fuselages and aerofoils convey dynamism, power and speed. an extraordinarily beautiful automobile that perfectly combines aesthetics and precision – and is unmistakably a bentley. it couldn’t be done better!

villa kogelhof is designed to be completely energy self-sufficient and is located on a swath of land declared a conservation area by the government. the minimalist building, designed with straight lines, rests on v-shaped pillars to take away as little as possible from the protected habitant for plants and animals. the interior of the house is no less minimalist due to surrounding glass panels that enhance the home’s sense of openness and connection to nature. a great design that perfectly plays up interior and exterior, while redefining the standard for natural living.

notabag is a cleverly-designed combination of carrier and rucksack that can be carried on your arm or back, as desired. a simple motion is all it takes to change the rucksack into a bag or vice-versa. an internal back serves to store your wallet and keys. that means that everything is easy to find without having to rummage around for it. notabag transforms and closes all on its own, meaning that it doesn’t need any additional buttons or closures. if the bag isn’t needed it can fold down to almost nothing. a practical, amazingly designed product for daily use.

scapes "oyster-tecture" project wins 2014 fuller challenge.

Dec 8, 2014

living breakwaters, a project submitted by scape / landscape architecture pllc based in new york has won the 2014 fuller challenge. the award offered by the the buckminster fuller institute (bfi) is considered “socially responsible design’s highest award”.

“living breakwaters is about dissipating and working with natural energy rather than fighting it. it is on the one hand an engineering and infrastructure-related intervention, but it also has a unique biological function as well. the project team understand that you cannot keep back coastal flooding in the context of climate change, but what you can do is ameliorate the force and impact of 100 and 500 year storm surges to diminish the damage through ecological interventions, while simultaneously catalyzing dialog to nurture future stewards of the built environment,” said bill browning of terrapin bright green, a 2014 senior advisor and jury member.

besides addressing storm surge issues, “oyster-tecture” will improve coastal resiliency and the restoration of livelihoods traditional to the community of tottenville in staten island. living breakwaters uses natural forces working with nature to create a natural barrier reef. criticism of “eco projects” has been commerce vs. nature, this project regenerates waterfront communities and social systems, while enhancing threatened ecosystems.

design contest winner: fleurt chair by andrew jones.

Oct 26, 2014

Despite its name, the Battery Conservancy is not an organization about electrical devices, but a public policy and park administrator in Manhattan. The Battery is the extreme southern point of Manhattan, long defended by a battery of cannons and now site of parks.

That is why there is a battery chair, chosen after a publicly judged design competition. Its winner—top among five finalists—is the Fleurt chair by Andrew Jones, a Canadian designer. The chair takes its form from a flower, drilled with multiple lacey like holes to dry quickly after rain and painted several tones of blue: a merger of practical function and poetic form. Jones wins a $10,000 prize and the chance to see some 300 copies of the chair scattered across the open space not far from the Staten Island Ferry dock. [ andrew jones design ]

the best of neocon awards 2021 jury.

Apr 15, 2009

above > editors’ choice:: heartbeat / karim rashid / nienkämper / neocon 2019

dear neocon:

i am so looking forward to you coming back in october 2021. and when you do i would love to be one of the 2021 best of NEOCON awards judges.

my love of and passion about architecture and design spans over 40 years — NEOCON was there when this love affair began and served as an inspiration for me in the mid-70s. at that time i was seeking out the highly coveted by the design profession stendig wall calendars. in doing so i discovered the merchandise mart and the neocon showroom samples as the showrooms prepared for presenting their latest and greatest. the next thing i knew contract furniture became part of my design portfolio.

there’s a notion that most people are unable to fully grasp more than three selling points. that’s been my design philosophy for over 20 years. so in telling you what makes me a qualified candidate to judge NEOCON i’ll stick to the following pertinent 3’s, with three attributes of course within each category.

[ rk 3’s ]
my elevator pitch re me is. . . experience, talent, and passion. these three particulars have given me public exposure and recognition by a worldwide audience of elite designers, manufacturers, design mavens, and the toolbox to judge what is great design. i have judged numerous design shows and in chicago have served as a judge for the past eight years for the inspired home show, formerly the international home + housewares show. they now have a new curated design-centric discover design effort which i consult and help curate.

[ criteria for good design 3’s ]
a jury needs a unified and agreed upon set of design criteria usually given by the organizers. here are the classic 3’s which i totally embrace. . . appropriate, concept, and execution. is the solution appropriate ? is the concept noteworthy ? how is it executed ?

in my opinion the classic criteria above adequately addresses today but doesn’t reflect tomorrow. today’s plights and technologies are tomorrow’s opportunities. so here are my embellished contemporary 3’s . . . not just another, sustainable, and corporate ethos. is the solution a new needed idea or is it just another thing heaped upon what’s already out there ? is it sensitive to climate / sustainable qualities of life ? does the designer, manufacturer walk the talk with a committed and visible personality via recognized design-centric media outlets ?

additionally, i’d be remiss if i didn’t make mention of my favorite raymond loewy‘s 3’s. . . good design keeps the user happy, the manufacturer in the black and the aesthete unoffended. // between two products equal in price, function and quality, the one with the most attractive exterior will win. // the most beautiful curve is a rising sales graph.

[ notable 3’s ]
so what else makes me a qualified judge ? my notables, where i apply my design-in-the-know. three of them are. . . DesignApplause/CHGODSGN, DesignApplause/NEOCON, and about RK. in 2014 the chicago cultural center hosted chgodsgn, a design happening where i exhibited, helped curate, and served as a media sponsor. an event necessity was to showcase chicago designers. i used my international design happenings to pair chicago with international talent putting each on equal footing via [DesignApplause/CHGODSGN slide show] // also, DesignApplause is proud to be a NEOCON media partner for nearly 10 years. [DesignApplause/NEOCON media sponsor] // finally, this whole narrative is about me and why i’d make an excellent design judge but there’s more to be found by looking at my writing and editing within DesignApplause itself [moreRK]
