Office Building Or Home To A Super Heroine?
3:25PM Rosa Golijan | Switzerland gets all the cool offices. This particular one’s dubbed “Cocoon” and acts as headquarters for an architecture firm. I prefer to imagine it as home to a super heroine who zoom-zoom-zips down that spiral and saves the day. More »

I’ve Always Wanted To Live In A Stealth Plane
8:20AM Jesus Diaz | The Klein Bottle House. According to the World Architecture Festival Awards, it’s the best home of 2009. F-117 pilots, dorky Tron fanboys and aliens all through the galaxy would agree. I’m in one of those categories. More »

Air Conditioning Bill Too High? Should’ve Moved Into This Building
2:50PM Rosa Golijan | Apparently the oddly arranged 600mm diameter circular windows on this building in India are not a hidden message from aliens, but a clever way to create ambiance indoors while saving up to 25 per cent on air-conditioning costs. More »

Projectors Morph Boring Building Into Giant Pinball Machine
2:00AM Mark Wilson | Urban Screen, the same group behind insane 555 Kubik illusion, built a humongous, functioning pinball machine through facade projection way back in 2007. Why more architecture isn’t decorated with multi-storey video games, we do not know. More »

4:40PM Rosa Golijan | I think they ran out of weird building designs, because the centrepiece of Dubai’s Technopark looks like it was copied from Epcot’s Spaceship Earth. Whatever happened to architecture proposals for Dubai being completely nuts? More »
Dubai’s Technosphere Would Fit Right Into A Disney Park

The Most Epic Treehouse Ever Constructed

Tarzan’s Making His Reservations At This Frame Hotel
1:20PM Rosa Golijan | Finding a room service guy who doesn’t even blink if you’re running around in a loin cloth (or less) shouldn’t be tough in this Dubai hotel. The place already almost looks like a jungle on the inside. More »

From Closed-Down Water Pumping Station To Elegant Home
12:40PM Rosa Golijan | If turning an abandoned nuclear missile silo into a home was impressive, then I don’t know what to call this. All I know is that Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset turned an old water pumping station into a stylish home. More »

5:40AM Jesus Diaz | I like Pritzker Architecture Prize-winner Rem Koolhaas’ creations so much that I want to have his babies. OK, that part is a lie, but I would certainly have his Tony-Stark-worthy Maison à Bordeaux. His new Stadskantoor is quite impressive too. More »
