Philip Johnson Glass House

Isn’t it funny, when you’re famous, everything you design, be it a small hut would automatically turn into some sort of heritage building. Some buildings are really great, Philip Johnson’s Glass House is an example of great architectureSingle Hauz by Front Architects

Single Hauz is the brain child of Poland’s Front Architects, the idea derive from the lack of housing proposal for single man and women, it actually reflects the demand in our today’s society.It may look fantastic but I wonder how the residents access the electricity, water, and sewerage. Another question is, how ready it is for strong wind?
Le Building
Le Building is an awesome short film animation directed by five directors: Marco Nguyen, Pierre Perifel, Xavier Ramonede, Olivier Staphylas and Remi Zaarour. The animation integrates traditional and CG animation.
Observe carefully and you are able to notice all the little details in each of the people’s rooms, as well as the construction worker’s by playing it frame-by-frame it when the bus has to swerve — the people inside are pretty funny, too. Amazing work.

Organic architecture seeks superior sense of use and a finer sense of comfort, expressed in organic simplicity.
Form follows function - that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.
Every great architect is - necessarily - a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age.
The architect must be a prophet... a prophet in the true sense of the term... if he can't see at least ten years ahead don't call him an architect.
Craps?
