[ By WebUrbanist in Architecture & Public & Institutional. ] Skyscrapers are the traditional small-footprint solution for growing square footage in big cities, but what are developers to do in growing places like Mexico City where new building construction is limited to just ten stories tall? The only option, of course, is to reverse direction: build down instead of up. …

[ By Steph in Art & Installation & Sound. ] Peering through a hole in the hovering white skin of an unusual installation at the 22nd International International Garden Festival of Chaumont Sur Loire, France, seems to transport the viewer into a different place altogether. What could not be more than a few square meters, judging by the outside dimensions, …

[ By Steph in Architecture & Public & Institutional. ] The Sydney Opera House might have been little more than a squat concrete building resembling a factory, and a visit to the statue of Abraham Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial could have required scaling a massive stepped pyramid. Ranging from close second-place finishes in design competitions to proposals that …

[ By WebUrbanist in Design & Fixtures & Interiors. ] In an Paris apartment with just over 200 square feet, it is almost impossible to imagine anything but the more bare essentials resulting a boring space. But that is where illumination enters the equation, flooding in to add depth and complexity to this abode. This, then, is a short story …

[ By Steve in Abandoned Places & Architecture. ] Cone in 60 seconds? Though these 12 cool abandoned ice cream stands thought they could take a licking and keep on ticking, they ended up just being licked. Twistee Treat Retreat (image via: Telestar Logistics) Around 90 fiberglass Twistee Treat buildings were produced from 1983 until 1990, when the original company …

[ By Delana in Conceptual & Futuristic & Technology. ] There are countless maps and other direction-finding methods for your smartphone that can help you get to where you want to go – but once you get there, you still have to worry about parking. This, of course, is one of the most frustrating aspects of going anywhere in a …

[ By Steph in Art & Drawing & Digital. ] Have you ever wondered how 19th century artists were able to produce such incredibly realistic drawings? It isn’t just because they were unusually talented, though it’s hard to argue that they were. Many of them benefitted from the use of a ‘camera lucida’, an optical device that reflects real-life images …

[ By WebUrbanist in Art & Sculpture & Craft. ] There is no unifying theme to these surreal depictions of urban architecture and landscapes, save perhaps their imaginative improbability and singular creator, Frank Kunert, a German photographer and his bemused sense of wonder. Each is at once clearly a model yet quite lifelike, lovingly crafted, painted and photographed. Some show …

[ By WebUrbanist in Architecture & Houses & Residential. ] With New York City’s inexorable growth, 1980s legislation barring the creation of 400 square-foot, one-to-two-person apartments has been lifted. And the results are in: award-winning compact units ranging from 250 to 330 square feet each have arrived. The solutions, sans traditional square-footage restrictions, involve both production and living innovations. They …

[ By Steph in Gadgets & Geekery & Technology. ] Put on a futuristic-looking, geometric white mask and you’ll suddenly have superhuman senses, hearing targeted sounds from long distances or applying effects to images in real-time. The ‘Eidos’ masks were developed by a group of students from the Royal College of Art in London, fitting over the mouth or ears …

[ By Steph in Conceptual & Futuristic & Technology. ] Within five years or less, we could be chatting with the three-dimensional holograms of faraway friends, controlling our computers with mental commands, charging our phones with energy harvested from wasted ambient energy and logging into our bank accounts with facial recognition scans. These are among the technology innovations that computer …

[ By WebUrbanist in Art & Street Art & Graffiti. ] These layered creations are surprisingly realistic, even in black and white, thanks in part to their scale and reinforced by their shadows, but also due to the ordinary nature of the sidewalk scenes being depicted. Strøk (Anders Gjennestad) is a stencil artist and mural maker from Norway with works in …

[ By WebUrbanist in Design & Guerilla Ads & Marketing. ] Facade or fantasm, this series of images presents an alluring picture of the layers – perhaps even literal levels – of history that lies beneath aged and famous buildings. Blending physical fact and historical fantasy, these advertisements (for titled “Discover the Full Story”) extend three archetypal works of Soviet architecture …

[ By Steph in Global & Travel & Places. ] Can you guess where in the world this unidentified Google Maps location is by landscape, road signs, architecture and cars? Test your geography skills with GeoGuessr, a site that drops you into a random Street View and challenges you to answer correctly five times in a row. Brilliantly simple, this …

[ By Steph in Architecture & Houses & Residential. ] Nuclear missile silos, former quarries, natural caves and man-made hills camouflage homes ranging from rustic and understated to modern and luxurious. Seeming ideally suited to shield unsavory dealings from view, these subterranean lairs are perfect for villains – or just ordinary people who want to live in a really cool …

[ By WebUrbanist in Gadgets & Geekery & Technology. ] The story has unfolded fast, and people on both sides are furious. Within days of a successful test firing of the Liberator, this working 3D-printed weapon has attracted the attention of the United States government. 100,000+ downloads in, the State Department has stepped in to try and stop further distribution. …

[ By Steve in Abandoned Places & Architecture. ] This abandoned barber shop triple-quartet collectively echoes with the metallic chattering of honed clippers tempered by hazy undertones of warm conversation. Losing Your Head (image via: Adam’s Journey) The abandoned Richardson’s Barber Shop in Yanceyville, North Carolina, appealed to potential customers by displaying the unique motto “We need your head in …

[ By WebUrbanist in Architecture & Houses & Residential. ] Floodwaters rise, drench homes, then recede, leaving disaster in their wake – a temporary change renders many structures permanently uninhabitable. But what if houses could ride out the storms, rising with the tides, then settling back down to the ground when the water is gone? Based on the tragedy of …

[ By Steph in Art & Street Art & Graffiti. ] Unlike most street art, INSA‘s murals weren’t made to be seen in person – they’re best viewed online. That’s because the UK-based artist painstakingly paints, photographs and re-paints each of his works several times over in order to create these amazing animated GIF images. Each piece is created with …
