A Cathedral Made from 55,000 LED Lights The Luminarie De Cagna is an imposing cathedral-like structure that was recently on display at the 2012 Light Festival in Ghent, Belgium. The festival was host to almost 30 exhibitions including plenty of 3D projection mapping, fields of luminous flowers, and a glowing phone booth aquarium, however with 55,000 LEDs and towering 28 meters high the Luminarie De Cagna seems to have stolen the show. ( via stijn coppens, sacha vanhecke, sector271) Endless possibilities >>> an Athenian “Capriccio” shows imagined versions of the city | ARCHI | SCAPES Could this be a “Capriccio Palladiano” set in Athens (originally an imaginary view of Venice’s Canal Grande by Italian painter Canaletto) ? Or a contemporary version of Giovanni Battista Piranesi‘s “Campo Marzio” (a ‘collage’ of Rome at various moments in history) ? Certainly it’s not Venice… or Rome for that matter. But these visualizations of Athens in unlikely, imagined or downright wrong conditions surely reinterpret the work of the Italian masters. Greek architects Point Supreme show they are able to blend a strong theoretical and provocative work with beautiful eye-catching images and inspired architectural design.

Throwable Panoramic Ball Camera has us seeing spherical potential - SlashGear - StumbleUpon Each time there is a new way to capture media, especially when that means is inexpensive, the world goes nuts trying to see how they can show off their life and times with it. That's what's about to happen with this ball camera, the Throwable Panoramic Ball Camera, that is, a project that's currently Patent Pending and has been in the works, apparently, since back in 2010. The project has progressed to the point here in late 2011 where the designers feel it strong enough to present to the public - just toss it up in the air and at it's peak - SNAP - you've got a complete 360 degree view of the environment the ball is in. This is more than a panoramic view, it's a whole new experience. Have a look at this video and see how it strikes you: This device contains 36 mobile phone camera modules and takes a full sphere of images right at the peak of flight. [via Pfeil]

¿Quién dice que una cabina telefónica no puede transformarse en una biblioteca? Tags: BusséolClermont-FerrandCollectif EtcEme3FranciaJulien AbitbolKelly Ung El último café que quedaba en Busséol cerró hace ya unos cuantos años. Desde entonces, los cerca de 180 habitantes de esta pequeña aldea francesa vivían su día a día sin un solo lugar de encuentro social. Un sitio donde echar unas risas, unas cartas, chismorreos… Antes de que el viejo café echara el cierre, lo había hecho el horno municipal. En octubre del año pasado, doce jóvenes arquitectos del grupo Collectif Etc iniciaron una gira de doce meses por toda Francia montados en bicicleta y armados con una enorme caja de herramientas. El pequeño pueblo de Busséol fue una de las primeras etapas del ‘Detour de France’ (en francés, ‘Desvío de Francia’). Durante una semana, esta pequeña aldea del distrito de Clermont-Ferrand concentró toda su energía en darle un nuevo aire a Busséol, desandar el camino que los nuevos tiempos habían marcado y construir un escenario más amable para todos. ¡Ahora hacemos libros!

The Mirror cubePhoto © Peter Lundstrom, WDO | Treehotel In a heavily wooded country like Sweden, it comes as no surprise when one comes across a hotel deep in the forest. However, the Treehotel is something beyond the ordinary. Located in Harads, a village in the northern part of the country with only 600 inhabitants, the hotel has made the forested region a touristic attraction. Designed by some of Scandinavia’s leading architects such as Martin Videgård and Bolle Tham as well as Mårten & Gustav Cyrén, the hotel promises to reconnect its guests with nature.
