dear designboom reader, the new year begins with photographs that look at design with fresh eyes. in nicolas damiens' lens, these images view the everyday scenes in singapore as 1980s-inspired visuals. for kathryn cooper, her camera focuses on and captures the aerial choreography of starling murmurations. uncovering NIKE's archives takes center stage in alastair philip wiper's photos, a peek into the brand's decades-long design process. there's also danica o. kus, who captures asif khan's canada water boardwalk in london, spotlighting the evocative red shade of the structure. from all of us at designboom, we wish you a happy, healthy, and productive 2025! matthew burgos | editor |
