Koolaas designed Seattle Public Library
The uber-trendy Koolhaas cap, inspired by architecture.
With Pritzker Prize winning architect Zaha Hadid designing Louis Vuitton hand bags and a clothing line, I though I had just run across another Starchitect exercising thier intellectual property with a new medium. But better yet, instead I found a pure piece of influenced craft, juxtaposing, of all things architecture and knitting.
Meet the Koolhaas hat, insired by a knitter by Rem Koolhaas's new Seattle Public Library, this hat appeared in over 3000 images on Flickr when I was searching for a photo of Koolhaas's more significant structures. The architectural movement known as Morphogenisis, can mean abstract or geometric forms following the natural surface, letting nature, if you will, design the building. Who said, after all, that all buildings must have straight sides and a flat cieling? Think of how mother nature designs structure, cells in plants, repeating webbing. And now, her most perfect creation? The Homo sapien cap. The phenomenon of pure phenomenon.

Gawd. 3000 images in flickr? Of a woollen cap? I see a future entry in Stuff White People Like! I'd heard of the Koolhaas, but didn't know about the Koolhaat.
