‘archipelago house’ by tham & videgard hansson arkitekter. Have I linked to this before? No matter. It’s beautiful.
"Original thoughts are like shy animals. We sometimes have to look the other way – towards a busy street or terminal – before they run out of their burrows. - Alain de Botton"
Treated as an architectural premise, Die Hard becomes an exhilarating catalog of unorthodox movements through space. (via BLDGBLOG: Nakatomi Space)
A fascinating essay on the role of architecture in Die Hard. Fantastic blog.
grain edit · Visual Acoustics Film - The Modernism of Julius Shulman : I’ve blogged about this film before, but it bears repeating now that they have an Atlanta screening in the cards for December at the Plaza. I’m convinced from the photograph above that Kubrick had to have been a fan. Look at any interior shot from 2001 for the connection.
Narrated by Dustin Hoffman, VISUAL ACOUSTICS celebrates the life and career of Julius Shulman, the world’s greatest architectural photographer, whose images brought modern architecture to the American mainstream.Looks fascinating. Never heard of him before now.
