Not real. It was created with a 3D program.

Haha, funny you should say that.......

I heard that the architecture of my university was inspired by prisons and that the architects even tried to imitate the bars on the windows.


But that's actually the outside courtyard. The bottom bit is the reflection of the building in the pond.

You HAVEEHAVEHAVHEHAVEH to look into Antonio (sometimes Antoni) Gaudi's works.. I saw his works in a documentary on some channel and it was AMAZING. He was a modernist inspired by more natural, organic forms (translating into moar parabolic curves) and I think his most noted works were in Barcelona and blahblablala. I tried looking for vids or pics to show and do him justice but I couldn't find any : ( Here's a vid anyway--




They coined him Gods Architect cause of his gigantic cathedral still in construction

The Guggenheim just celebrated its 50th birthday.

The Guggenheim At 50: A Legacy Spirals On Fifth

I love this description:
QUOTE
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the Guggenheim earned many a dubious description upon its opening. Critics called it "inverted oatmeal dish," or a "hot cross bun." And in the face of such hostility, Wright defended his work.

"Somebody said the museum out here on Fifth Avenue looked like a washing machine," Wright said. "Well, I've heard a lot of that type of reaction, and I've always discounted it as worthless, and I think it is."

THE RAMP HOUSE







Recently created by Archivirus Architecture and Design, the Ramp House is a response to the client’s request for a “skateable habitat”.

According to architect Athanasia Psaraki, the Ramp House is a project which tries to reconsider and redefine the living space. The result of the client’s request is a curved form interior, which “set the whole house as well as the inhabitant’s life, into motion”.

Wow, UBC is gorgeous! Robarts Library at UofT is shaped like a turkey. Yes, you read that right. Sure, it's gigantic and was featured on FRIENDS but still, a friggin' turkey. stubborn.gif




As for things I actually like... there's this beautiful art school in Singapore with a green roof!
