Architects of Air

The team visited Mirazozo by Architects of Air at the Opera House this past Friday. A giant inflatable sculpture of light and colour, the exhibit is handmade and inspired by religious structures such as Islamic mosques and Gothic cathedrals.

We thoroughly enjoyed this unique multi-sensory art experience, so much so that our Insights Director, Ben, was compelled to write a thought piece on the work. Read his article on our website:

The Noun Project

The Noun Project’s mission is to share, celebrate, and enhance the world’s visual language. Their goal is to collect and organize all the symbols that form our language into one easy-to-use online library that can be accessed by anyone.


A visual language that can be understood by all cultures and people is an idea we find fascinating and highly useful. More examples below:

B&T Experiential Agency and Specialist Agency of the Year 2010 Winners

We are pleased to announce that this past Friday we received two B&T awards for ‘Experiential Agency of the Year’ and ‘Specialist Agency of the Year’ 2010.



The judges for Experiential Agency credited us with “out-of-the-box thinking”, saying we “have taken the category to a new level”: “They have a sense of genius about them and the way they talk about the space with such clarity and confidence, gives you a real sense that they are a true experiential agency”. At e2, we believe that a holistic approach is the best way to create a truly memorable experience, and we are glad that industry experts agree.



The award for ‘Specialist Agency’ is given to a business which exceeds expectations in a particular field. The judges in this category described our work as “world class” and noted our global resonance in support of their decision. Our unique approach makes us specialists in what we do, and we are honoured to receive the award after only three years in the industry.



A BIG thank you to all of our clients, friends and family, without whom we would not have achieved these!

The Death of Harold

We are very sad to report the sudden death of our office gnome.... At two months old, he had accomplished much more than most his age, from completing a degree with Billy Blue to leading our nighttime security team. He will be missed.

Urfun Lab Installation

An installation by India based architects and designers Urfun Lab Surat transforms an eyesore into vivid public art using storm water pipes. We love the simplicity of the idea and its effective result:

Toypography

We are fascinated by Dainippon Type Organization's hand-made wood blocks. The organization breaks Japanese Katakana, Hiragana and the alphabet into pieces to recompose the parts and produce new characters - they even create images of the terms they spell:

A Return to Traditional

The New York Times has highlighted a trend in retail towards to smaller stores, in response to the economic crisis. We find the result to be a refreshingly traditional experience, in which shopfronts welcome the surrounding community with a more engaging style:

Dispatchwork

This work was done in Bocchignano, Italy, as part of the group project "20 Eventi". We love the unexpected yet seamless integration of materials:
