Chris Bangle explains his design philosophy about the lifestyle products line in the article. Evidently, Adrian van Hooydonk has overseen the development Mini life style products including a cookoo clock with a miniature car that pops out. Furthermore, Bangle describes the DesignworksUSA building as a "dreadnought" sailing through the surrounding office park.
Amazing.
Great Job Adrian! :thumb:A. van Hooydonk said:Why shouldn't I be proud of this?

It's elegent, understated and functional while still having an irreverent flair. Which is exactly what I intended.

Although I agree about the "vibrant CITY" commment, almost all of SoCal is suburban hell anyway....TD said:
Um, how anyone who porports to have a sense of style and fashion (yeah, right) would ever sayanything even remotely positive about an "office park" is beyond me. Nothing cool could ever come out of an office park. It needs to spawn from a vibrant CITY. Office parks squelch creativity and individuality and morph it into a bland assimilated commonality. How he could say THIS part of that quote with a straight face is almost more amazing to me than the "butt" comment.
But, yeah, his "butt" fetish is pretty scary too.
Exactly. While I live and work in 'burbs, I know that the only cool places are in the CITIES. You can't be "hip" in the 'burbs. Impossible. And the "office park" is one of the most evil suburban sprawl manifestations.nate328Ci said:

that's not really a reason to put down Designwerks...
If someone wants to live in the suburbs, I don't care, but I WILL NOT and don't even like going out there. It is too new and everything is just a turn off. I hate how everthing is designed to show a layer of weath and opulence, but you know it is all phony :thumbdwn: There are suburbs everwhere, but I like the city much more. The only reason to go out is for golf, but I hate playing on courses through subdivisions too :thumbdwn:TD said:

I think it's spread-out-ness is my biggest complaint about So Cal.
Sprawl... Ugh!

I don't really live in the 'burbs, but I live on the outskirts of Austin. You can't beat the value that you get in land/housing on the outskirts. In Austin anyway, you can get a 3000 square foot house on 1/2 to 1 acre on the outskirts for the same price as a n 1800 sq. ft. house on a 1/4 acre would cost in town. Oh, and the bigger house is only a few years old, and the smaller one was built in the 1930s.
That's a no-brainer to me.

I guess if you enjoy being 50 miles from town :dunno:
Maybe if you live on or near Lake Travis or LBJ, it would be more acceptable.
Ever been up to Horseshoe Bay. Those courses are fawking hard as hell![]()

50 miles? I'm talking 10 miles at the most. This is Austin we're talking about here, not Houston.
Not been to Horshoe Bay, but hear that Ramrock and whatever the other one is (applerock?) are great courses.
