The physical patterns of PATTERNITY utilise the texture of the materials and forms they are made on to add an extra layer to their 2D shapes. Plus they have a sweet daily pattern section here : http://www.patternity.co.uk/

EUROPA by Ada and Adam Donen
We’re five architectural designers, members of a newly formed collaborative group called Ada, working with a composer Adam Donen, and we’ve been given a major square in the middle of London for a day. We are going to fuse architecture with music and performance, and create the first ever dramatic piece with a stage as the lead actor.
The Bloomsbury Fete will be filled with pieces of interactive architecture - there will be see-saws, slides and tables all of which will be used by around 3000 people that will be drawn to the festival. They will all be beautiful and functional, but also built very cunningly so that at lunchtime they can take part in the main performance of Europa. These apparently separate pieces will ‘subsume’ Europa as it happens.
Hugh McEwen, Catrina Stewart, Freddy Tuppen, Kevin Green and Omar Ghazal are founding members of Ada, a Bloomsbury-based collective of professional artists and architectural designers who work together to create spectacles of forward-looking architecture. Ada believe that by combining individuals who are the best in their field from different disciplines, the most aesthetic and intellectually stimulating results can be achieved. Since early 2012 the collective has been working closely with local organisations to produce interactive architectural pieces.
This is a crowd funded event so please do help this happen if you can, there are lots of great thing on offer for the donations! http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/europa/x/2545657
If you’re in London, come along, play with the architecture, and watch the show - it’s free. 14 June. 1pm.
