OMA/Rem Koolhaas, Parc de La Villette, Paris, France, 1982
Not seen this colouring before. It’s as if they were pre-empting Tschumi’s winning proposal.
From a portfolio website called Ain’t Life Grand, where I also found this. Now defunct. So source unknown, I suppose.
(Update - found the source: We Shall See)

Hallelujah I re-discovered this project, which is basically my current project. Nice to reference your (subconscious) sources!

100 Maverick Postcards by Alan Fletcher
This cover is wrapped around the outside of a wooden box containing postcards of Fletcher’s designs. Required ownage for design-related persons.
(It’s printed on newsprint so it’s yellowed like crazy since I got it four years ago. Scanned and shared for posterity.)

From Object Abuse at KK Outlet as part of the 2011 London Design Festival:
KK Outlet challenged a group of leading artists, designers and stylists to take an everyday object, remould, rebuild and repurpose it to create an entirely new item using as little additional materials as possible.
This was at Progress as well. Words to live by. Also you should read Life Style.

Went to OMA/Progress again before it closed and I took another illegal photo.
