For pure architectural drama, the recently built Top of Tyrol observation deck in Austria is difficult to beat. Some 10,400 feet high, the deck cantilevers 30 feet over the edge of a mountain, providing a 360-degree view of 109 surrounding mountaintops. www.fastcompany.com Posted: 02/04/2009 digg | del.icio.us | stumble | email this

Location: Shoreditch, East London, UK
Responding to the clients needs for privacy and a division of function in their studio, Richard Shed & An Michiels solution was to design a partition wall which has a defining presence in the space.

Hof is a country residence in the Skagafjörður fjord, less than 100km from the Arctic Circle. The spectacle of the location, its remoteness and special program fuelled a unique rapport between the client, contractor and architect resulting in a building that is in every respect a direct consequence of that collaboration. archdaily.com Posted: 02/04/2009 digg | del.icio.us | stumble | email this

Flow 5.0 Designer: Studio Roosegaarde
Location: n/a
Flow 5.0 is an interactive landscape made out of hundreds of ventilators which reacts on your sound and motion. By walking and interacting the visitor creates an illusive landscape of transparencies and artificial wind. Moving through Flow 5.0 the visitor becomes conscious of himself as a collective body, in a dynamic relation with space and technology. studioroosegaarde.nl Posted: 02/04/2009 digg | del.icio.us | stumble | email this
