New favela paintings by Dutchies Jeroen Koolhas and Dre Urhahn who are rocking the Brazilian suburb murals since 2005. It sure gives some color to them…
Nowadays, they do exist. This is a new hotel in our country designed by Molenaar & Van Winden Architects. Kitsch or a creative piece? I can’t make up my mind.

“Developed by one of the UK’s leading creative talents, Thomas Heatherwick, the centrepiece of the UK pavilion is a six storey high object formed from some 60,000 slender transparent rods, which extend from the structure and quiver in the breeze. During the day, each of the 7.5m long rods act like fibre-optic filaments, drawing on daylight to illuminate the interior, thereby creating a contemplative awe-inspiring space. At night, light sources at the interior end of each rod allow the whole structure to glow. The pavilion sits on a landscape looking like paper that once wrapped the building and that now lies unfolded on the site.”

The Sleeper family lives in a cave. A modern sandstone cave. Well, why not? I only wonder if in let’s say 200.000 years, when the cave gets excavated, the people then have the same experience discovering that pool table as we have now when we stumble upon a wall with painted oxes and horses…

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.

How some NY based architects transformed the highest closed subway line into a city park.
(Thanks Greenboy!)

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.
