The perfect building is the artificial pirate boat, in an artificial lake, operated as a pirate themed restaurant.

It’s a shame so many people overlook the imbedded reference in the design of the Vision Pro carry bags. The crumpled design is inspired by the Apollo stowage bags, evoking the marks left by being packed tightly into the spacecraft. For those who appreciate the poetic homage it’s rly very beautiful

I think the current architecture scene, especially new-urbanists, are wrong being so staunchly anti-car. The original new-urbanists like Leon Krier were actually pro-car. For example in the Seaside development he wanted to foster a ‘pull up anywhere’ type attitude in the street design.

The Het Rode Dorp development (2014) in The Hague is one of the nicest liminal spaces I have experienced in a long time. It almost feels like walking through a Georgio Grassi drawing. Such little greenery would typically be an eyesore, but it seems to match its industrial workers cottage scene.
