BOO! THE WORLD’S SCARIEST ARCHITECTURE

Image
Happy Halloween. Some buildings are scary looking, and others hold terrible stories... Here are what we think are the winners for being scary... Notre Dame frightens them all! Any Gothic medieval cathedral can shake even the most hardened, but Notre Dame in Paris takes the prize. Frank Lloyd Wright’s Concrete Hell... The Ennis House in Hollywood was designed by the famous architect when he was in a dark mood. Frank Kafka’s creepy home... It is scary enough just walking through the gate at Archbishop’s Palace in Prague. But Frank Kafka lived here. Here lives Elvis still... Elvis Presley lived in Graceland Mansion from 1957 to 1977. The king of rock ‘n roll is buried here. Many fans still think his ghost is wandering around in white satin at Graceland. The house that scares the heck out of us. The Amityville House in New York very cozy, but the paranormal activities and evil spirits makes ...

A toast to good friends. And great design.

The lawn chair sculptures of Patrick McDonough

Image
Patrick McDonough’s lawn chairs are not meant for sitting. And if they begin to seem functional, well, it’s all pretend. The sculptures offer the formal concepts of lawn chairs without actually closing the deal — legs and armrests have gone missing, for starters, and the works themselves are decidedly non functional. Instead of functionality McDonough is interested in their allusions to an American iconography of leisure. Take a look at them and it’s not difficult to imagine the smell of freshly cut grass or the skyward boom of summertime fireworks. It’s part of what the artist describes as his overarching interest in the aesthetics of free time. But there’s something else that’s also at work here; each piece has a significant stake in pure color, in hard edged geometry, and in the rectangular chromatic plane. You won’t need to dig too deep before you start thinking of abstract painting.  According to Patrick…“Painting often functions as the shorthand to talk about art with ...

This Designer Made Her Own Tiny Vacation Home On Wheels

Image
Designer Hristina Hristova has created a tiny vacation house on wheels to avoid the crowds and prices of beach resorts. The designer’s description... The idea for this tiny vacation house was born out of our desire to stay away from the crowds and the concrete of the five stars beach resorts and spend time somewhere calmer and closer to nature instead. Our limited budget as a young family kept the idea of buying a plot and building on it distant and impossible. And by doing so we were just going to be part of the concrete army invading the sea side. So we opted for making our retreat on wheels. The restrictions defying the sizes of a vehicle that could freely go on the roads determined the size of our tiny home – 9 square meters. This was all we’ve got to make a functional vacation house. The limited space was a challenge but we managed to fit everything necessary without the unpleasant claustrophobic feeling of being stuck in a narrow place full of stuff. The standard...
