Breathtaking… A house built more than a century ago, in a city that is larger than anything you can imagine. Completed in 1902, almost an 1800 house, 87 meters tall (almost 100 meters) with an 22 floor count. Witch gives each floor a total hight of 4 meters!! Thats what i call ceiling hight.
Flatiron in New York City
The Flatiron Building, which when constructed was called the Fuller Building, was one of the tallest buildings in New York City when completed. As you can see on the first photo the detail level on the facade is astonishing, the style is called Beaux Arts and you mainly know it by those high greek columns. But also when you dig deeper into Marvel comics and see all the structural building architecture you’ll notice the Beaux Art style.
I love this house, and i love New York city
This is a post in a series of posts, the first one was “Why i Think i Love New York” a short and simple why. The second one was “Why I Think I love New York part II” a little bit longer and a more big WHY?.
Read them both and read this and let me know why you think you love new york, if you do think you love new york that is.
A “Flatiron” copy found in Chicago
The Flatiron Building is frequently seen on TV in the opening of the The Late Show With David Letterman and it was used as the Daily Bugle building in the Spider Man films. I love the architectural style and find it calming in many ways, i try to find the core value in why i love the style, but can’t seem to know why. It’s just the level of detail and the hugh amount of effort it took Daniel Burnham to sketch and draw this magnificent building. This is another reason Why I think I Love New York, and the little house from Chicago, makes me believe that if you want to build and construct a house like this today, it’s very possible…. Maybe a mansion like that… in an urban environment.
Magnificent view of the Sun from a Swedish 1 meter telescope
Weekend time and supposedly time for rest, but i think i will need to work the weekend or at least 8 hours. But i wanted you to marvel in time and space so here are some photos on our sun taken from space with a swedish telescope. See all the images big
Well i think this is the last for a little while with Obama stuff, definitely not the last of him. The above poster is made by Ron English Superfamous american designer and canvas artist. And Obama has blindly been put in the box containing Pop Culture and Pop Art so it will be like the flower power era was during the 70’s. This is the “Yes We Can, era”.
This is my first favorite, but i think it’s mainly because i got a great amount of respect for Scott Hansen and all his work. I know the amount of time he put in to this poster is more than you would average work on two weeks. More than 2 full days on just creating the shapes of the leaves.
Hey friday and we are alive and kickin’ what about this awesome wall painting / graffiti in Berlin by BLU WALLS… It’s a fine masterpiece and all the great surreal renaissance artists out there would have loved it. We do love it too thats why i’ve showed it to you. If you are in Berlin you can find it here if you like to visits the artists site click here or here
Yaaay it’s inspiration time, what about this little portfolio from Eric Carl a little sweet site but the work he creates is a bit better then the site itself. I hope everyone has a great wednesday evening I’m off the the couch to watch some TV so enjoy this little treat.
So i figured, who is the new president of the united states of america look-a-like? In my manors it’s Abraham Lincoln one of the 44 president that have been inserted in the white house during the battles between red and blue. This is my way of interpreting this election and i don’t mean any harm, just art.

What a relief, we can finally breath out Obama has won the election 2008 and we look forward to see what he can do for the world and the United States of America. We hope that he will get out of Iraq quick and painless.
You will be my president to Obama a new dawn is a head
Location: Opole, Poland Project Architect: Robert Konieczny Site Area: 10,057 sqm Constructed Area: 660 sqm
This reminds me of the bat cave, or the Iron Man mansion. And It’s located in Poland, I bet you that it’s some rich bastard that lives there too. Not like the regular swedish house that you see here, made from wood and clay plates on the roof.
The building was situated on the garden level. For the sake of neighboring buildings, typical polish “cube - houses” arisen it 1970’s, the structure of the house results from various transformations of a cube.
The gateway is situated in the highest point of the site sloping to the east side. The 10 metres wide driveway following slope’s declivity, was additionally lowered underneath the ground level, while the garden was partly raised above this level. As a result, the garden is separated from the driveway and the surroundings with a 2.5m high retaining wall.
Wanted to share a tips that i got from my dad today, it’s a musician born in a small town called Paxton in Nebraska. Later on he moved to Tennessee where he bounded with some other musicians and started to record. Now days you can see him performing opening for artists like John Mayer. Josh has an extraordinary bunch of songs in his discography, there are a total of 10 Albums. I just love sing and songwriters and this is absolutely one that fits in my iTunes archive. So thank you dad for a great plug.
