Gerry Judah‘s sense of details and aesthetic work is truly amazing.
Some short background; Gerry Judah’s maternal and paternal grandparents came from Baghdad to settle in the already established Baghdadi Jewish community in India and Burma. His mother was born in Calcutta and his father in Rangoon. Gerry Judah was born in 1951 in Calcutta and grew up in West Bengal before his family moved to London when he was ten years old.
I posted this on the Tumblr blog before, but I strongly feel that I need to post it here as well. This graduation short-art-movie-video-thingy is made by talented Misha Shyukin. It’s really beautiful.

“Till you stop” cake decoration was designed for the exhibition ‘Design Criminals or A new joy into the world’ – a cooperation of MAK and departure, curated by Sam Jacob. Various designers and architects were invited to continue the Viennese tradition of discourse on ‘Ornament and Crime’ and were asked to react to Design activities such as tattooing, hair dressing, or arranging flower, which usually happen outside design discourses.
‘Till you stop’ – cake decoration deals with a cake decoration method that allows the costumer/visitor to decide how much decoration is applied onto their cake. A simple machine decorates the cake with lines (similar to a Spirograph) and continuously decorates until the costumer/visitor decides to stop the decoration process. Then in a second process sugar pearls are dropped onto the glazing. The decor is continuously changing and the costumer/visitor decides whether he prefers a simple ornament or a more complex one.
When is the right time to stop?

Masahiko Yendo, Under Distraction
By definition, the Greek term Utopia is literally a non-place. Commonly, it is used to describe an ideal society, respectively a perfect community, which does not (yet) exist. By definition, an architect is a person trained in the planning, design, and oversight of the construction of buildings.
Masahiko Yendo’s approach reaches far beyond this simple term, as his “take on experimental architecture is non-built.” So join his “process of discovering”, and find out who really builds the buildings in our latest Gestalten.tv interview, which took place at Mas’s studio in New York’s Hamptons.
