Dream-Sector Physics and Inception Space
[Image: A still from Inception , directed by Christopher Nolan, courtesy of Warner Brothers ]. An article I meant to link to the other week takes a look at the architectural design of Christopher Nolan's forthcoming film Inception . Being a longtime fan of Nolan's work, going back to his debut feature, Following (which I first saw at the Edinburgh Film Festival in 1999 and which, oddly enough, starred emerging architect Alex Haw , now of Cloud fame), I have to say that I am very much looking forward to seeing this movie. Geoff Boucher of the Los Angeles Times describes it as "Hollywood's first existential heist movie," offering us a preview of some of the film's sets and spaces in the process.

The Switching Labyrinth
[Image: From "Labyrinths, Mazes and the Spaces Inbetween" by Sam McElhinney]. Sam McElhinney, a student at the Bartlett School of Architecture , has been building full-scale labyrinths in London and testing people's spatial reactions to them. See photos of his constructions, below. McElhinney explained his research to BLDGBLOG in a recent email, attaching a paper that he delivered earlier this month at a cybernetics conference in Vienna, where it was awarded best paper. Called "Labyrinths, Mazes and the Spaces Inbetween," it describes McElhinney's fascinating look at how people actually walk through, use, and familiarize themselves with the internal spaces of buildings, using mazes and labyrinths as his control studies.[Image: Theater for One by Christine Jones and LOT-EK ]. LOT-EK and set designer Christine Jones will be premiering their project Theater for One in Times Square, two weeks from now. It "will be up for 10 days, with performances open to the general public"—but, as the architects point out, the public is only invited "one at a time."

Japanese construction firm Shimizu Corporation has developed a series of bold architectural plans for the world of tomorrow. Here is a preview of seven mega-projects that have the potential to reshape life on (and off) Earth in the coming decades. - Luna Ring In response to the ever-growing demand for energy, Shimizu has developed plans for the Luna Ring, a project that seeks to transform the Moon into a massive solar power plant. Luna Ring's 11,000-kilometer (6,800-mile) "solar belt" spans the Moon's equator
