a picture doesn't really capture it. There is view from the top where you can see the Kyoto tower, and there is an escalator that goes down very far in the middle of all these levels of a mall. The outside is entirely glass and it reflects the tower.

I love the angles here. WHen they flew helicopters over for the first time, there was this gaping, weeping new structure that was post-modern sculputre gone apeshit on acid - touchingly beautiful.

The GAR building in Detroit (it's in the video for "Loose Yourself"). It's a real life castle built in the 1920s by the Daughters of the American Revolution. It's right in the middle of downtown and has been abandoned for over a decade. If I had a lot of money I would buy it and have everyone I know live there.

hey wasnt that GAR building used in that film about the recluse author (Sean Connery) and the black youth who learns from him how to write proper after trying to squat in Seany's shack? or something

Hmmmm... I don't think so. Was that Finding Forrester? IMDB sez that took place in NY. But I never saw it.

Sure it wasn't the Flatiron Building (which, well, is another fav)...

MAFOOMBEY IS A SPACE MADE OF CORRUGATED CARDBOARD | made of corrugated cardboard by cutting and piling. |
“The initial concept for the design evolved from an ambition to create a strong spatial intensity within the volume of the dimensions given for the competition (2,5 x 2,5 x 2,5 m)”, tell the designers. “It soon developed into an idea of an intuitive freeform space cut into a rectangular stack of material.”

Kalliala and Ruskeepää decided to use corrugated cardboard as their material because of its low cost and strong aesthetic appeal. The interior contours of the cube were carried out mainly by means of computer design. When a pleasing form was found, the 3D model was sliced into horizontal layers in order to produce the cutting files for the computer-controlled Kongsberg cardboard cutter.

Each of the 360 layers of Mafoombey consists of two pieces of cardboard resulting in almost a ton in weight when assembled. Cardboard columns run through each corner of the cardboard cube stiffening the structure. No glue is used. Speakers, stereos and lamps are all integrated within the stack, allowing music and light to seep in through the cardboard structure.
