Posted on December 1, 2013 / Sunny Skyz Photos: Christoph Gerigk ©Franck Goddio Hilti Foundation The city of Heracleion was engulfed underwater 1500 years ago. This grand city had been mentioned by the Greek writer Herodotus, the 5th-century BC historian. He had told a wonderful tale of Helen of Troy, who traveled to Heracleion, then a port of 'great wealth', with her Trojan lover, Paris. When French marine archaeologist Franck Goddio stumbled upon some relics, it led them to one of the greatest finds of the 21st century; a city underwater.

The discovery took place when Goddio had been in search of Napoleon’s warships from the 1798 Battle of the Nile, when he had been defeated by Nelson in these very waters, but to his surprise, he stumbled upon this magnificent discovery.

This is especially true when it comes to our ancient human history.

Posted on December 8, 2013 / Sunny Skyz If you travel throughout Europe, you will see some of the most beautiful structures mankind has ever built. And if you look hard enough, you might find that some buildings contain material other than stone. Material that was abundant hundreds of years ago and strong enough to support large structures. That's right, these buildings were decorated and built almost entirely with human skulls and bones.

They managed to turn death into architectural masterpieces.

La Muna. What's not to love about 'La Muna', a complete renovation and minor addition of one of the first homes built in the exclusive enclave of Red Mountain in Aspen Colorado. Oppenheim Architects used reclaimed regional wood, stone and steel to make a minimal impact on the natural resources and merge the home effortlessly with its idyllic surroundings of forest, stream and mountain. Solar collectors provide needed energy for power and hot water, while extremely large operable panels of insulated glass blur the boundaries between inside and out. We wouldn't mind spending some cozy days of this years late winter here.

Correia Ragazzi Architectos designed the ‘Casa no Gerês’, a seemingly floating weekend retreat above the Cavado River in Portugal. The plot of 4.060 squaremeters is located in a protected natural area and has for conditions a concrete construction and the preservation of all trees. The constructive capacity was given by the existing ruin. The project placement on the plot was essential given that the surroundings were the main reference for the construction. For the clients, the exceptional outlook one enjoys should be an element of the house; for the architects it should be an evident inside space value, but also, the opposite concern was relevant – the house could only act as a significant element on the landscape.
