Ok somebody prints out a 2d print and then buildings literally rise up… Is this really real? Yes, its really real. If science goes on to develop with this speed then we will find out in some 50 years that we ourselves are just a highly advanced Playstation game like for instance The Simms or Second Life. Is this going to deep? Alright! I’ll quit.

We’re not ready to go out there yet, honey. And besides, didn’t I do a pretty good job bringing the outside in?
You can come out when you can properly explain the differences between Modernist architecture and postmodern ornamentation.
Trapped by the tawny palette, he struggled through yet another brown knit scarf.
The Unhappy Hipsters blog is by far the funniest thing I have seen on internet in 2010 so far.

I wouldn’t mind having a house like this. Too bad we don’t have views like this in old Holland.

Autistic artist Stephen Wiltshire is abe to draw New York after a helicopter ride of only 20 minutes. While listening to Saturday Night Fever on his iPod over and over again he has drawn cities like Tokyo, Hong Kong, Rome, Frankfurt Madrid all by memory. See the guy at work here.

This guy built his own island, floating on plastic bottles in the neighborhood of Cancun. Great way to recycle.

These pictures of homes with stubborn owners who don’t want to move, not even for a lot of money, somehow remind me of comic books like Asterix or Lucky Luke. Don’t know exactly why, but they do. More pics here.

This Belgian couple of architects bought an empty lot between two existing buildings and made this kind of futuristic canal house out of it. A great way to (re) use space i think.

I’m gettig a Blade Runner kind of feeling when I look at these series of photo’s of urban architecture in Hong Kong taken by Micheal Wolf. What is missing are little 2-person spaceships going from left to right and the other way around, big neon zeppelins and a Chinese voice that repeats something incomprehensible over and over.

Are Rem Koolhaas‘ answers to the blobby shapes we see in architecture nowadays. With these plain geometrical shapes he designed a multifunctional building that can be rotated, so every shape-space gets its own purpose. An art exihibition, cinematic purposes, etc. See Koolhaas’ filmed explanation here.

Futuristic multitouch panel for musicians made by Jazzmutant. It’s pretty hard to get it under control we heard, but it can perform some amazing tasks as you can see here. We want to have!

One of the best sketches from The Fast Show is this one with Dr. Denzil Dexter, with quotes like “making four columns equidistantly - thus” and “……….. no” it is just hilarious.

Don’t know what it is but we quite like this song. Ok ok, its pretty arty farty and a the accent is really German, but its quite nice we think.
