andrew miller

millers current project aims to test the quality of design against our recognition of brands. everyday (for 100 days) the 'brand spirit' blog showcases a new example of an everyday object sprayed white in an effort to test our constant expose to branding. miller himself is 'by day a strategic agent of change... i study by night....and I’m on a perpetual quest for the perfect burger.'

keep an eye on this one.

space: red bull hq, amsterdam

the new headquarters, in a district on the north side of amsterdam’s port area, was designed by sid lee architechts and was a former heritage shipbuilding factory which included a disused russian submarine. the space was based on the brands dna and was designed “to suggest the idea of the two opposed and complementary hemispheres of the human mind, reason versus intuition, arts versus the industry, dark versus light, the rise of the angel versus the mention of the beast”.
