33 Daily Inspirations no. 10
Invention is 1% of inspiration and 99% of perspiration. This equation may suit well for scientific inventions and technological discoveries, but not for art masterpieces, where inspiration values much more than a single percent. Actually, while working on some creative project, a bright idea, emerging all of a sudden in the artist’s mind, can predispose the success of the entire art work. This is how art differs from science. Art is often about unexplored ideas, flight of fancy, rampant imagination, freedom, which all together allow artists to create works, appealing to human soul and heart. So, if you are looking for some inspiration – we have a new set of inspirational works, waiting for you here at Cruzine. No need for perspiration, just relax and keep your mind open for fresh art ideas.

Turkish delights-The launch of Top Floor’s new rug collection
I have never been to Istanbul, but last week I got a tiny and tasty snapshot of what it might be like at the launch of Top Floor’s new rug collection, Ottomania. It is inspired by the company’s founder and Turkish born and London-based designer Esti Barnes’ trip back to the country in the summer and named after the rich influence of the Ottoman Empire.
There are six designs, one of which – Princess Gevher- can be seen on the dedicated rug Pulse page in the up and coming November issue of idfx. All reference the world famous textile and weaving history of the city with motifs such as geometric, Islamic patterns seen above on Kaftan and here on Turga.
Peter Rich Architects- The Mapungubwe Interpretation Centre in S. Africa
I can’t help but notice the message this anthill-like group of vaulted magnificent landmark in the Mapungubwe National Park and World Heritage site in Limpopo could send to other world heritage sites. The Mapungubwe Interpretation Centre in South Africa by veteran architect, Peter Rich, winner of the 2010 ABSOLUT VISI Designer of the Year Award for the centre itself, which also won the World Building of the Year at the World Architecture Festival in Barcelona in 2009.
‘The vaulted structures were built using stabilized earth tiles and the ancient tile vaulting technique, which requires no reinforcing.
The largest free-form vaults span 14.5m, with an un-reinforced masonry vault of only 300mm in thickness. The simple, elegant structures are clad with locally quarried stone, which adds a stabilizing load to the vaults and integrates the centre into its surroundings.
The project contributed to poverty relief in the area by using ecological methods, local materials and labour.’
