Hasselt, Belgium Text, photos & videos: Numen Net consists of multiple layers of flexible nets suspended in the air. The flat layers of the net are subsequently connected to one another on counterpoints thus forming a “floating landscape” open for visitors to climb in and explore. The result is an op-art social sculpture (or a community hammock) relating to topics of instability, levitation and regression. Show in Google Maps. Snefjord Rest Stop by Pushak.

The site of the road stop is a paradox. Oftentimes, the hardest winds blow off the sea, and yet the most attractive view is toward the fjord. The obvious response in order to shield tourists from the wind would be to construct a view-blocking wall. Instead three ”bench-boxes” prefabricated at a local wharf dot the area, and their differing orientations allow visitors to choose where to sit according to wind and sun conditions. Ornithological Observatory by Manuel Fonseca Gallego. A Path in The Forest by Tetsuo Kondo Architects. The installation was planned for Tallinn, the capital of Estonia.
A forest known as Kadriorg is located in the center of city: trees that have grown there for three centuries, around a palace built for the Czar of Russia.Here we will build an elevated path that will weave its way between the trees in beautiful Kadriorg forest. Just 95m long, it will be made of 139mm steel pipe and sheet steel, 5mm thick, leaning on the trees here and there, without a single column. Walking along this path will give a slightly different sense of the forest.
Instead of looking up at the trees from the ground, people will be strolling near the leaves, making their way between the branches. LaLaport Toyosu by EARTHSCAPE.

It has been a big week for JCFO, as James Corner and Rich Scofidio’s latest ideas for the third section of the High Line were released on Tuesday.
