Rock Office is a unique structure that sits on a precarious piece of land in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Commissioned as an architecture and construction office with an included gallery, the building expresses a playful minimalism.

The exterior, while only a couple years old, has the presence of a much older building, like a modernist reconstructed ruin.

Did you know you can’t recycle bioplastics? A single bioplastic container thrown in a batch of recycled PET will ruin the whole batch and make it non recyclable. There is a lot of confusion amongst consumers as to what bioplastic is and how to dispose of it properly — with this in mind, Cereplast, Inc. just launched a design competition that offers you the opportunity to “make your mark” on a new generation of green products made from bioplastics. They’re looking for a symbol that can be stamped onto products to show that they are made from green, bio-based materials, and they’re offering $25,000 to one grand prize winner – so enter today!
