Why would anyone take the time to remove the spaces between the letters of the thread title?  I mean, don't you have better things to do?  ???  Do they bother you, make you fit??  ???

Relax - amuse yourself w/ Riddim Puss for a while . . . It'll all be OK . . .

Because it's like posting a topic title all in CAPS. It makes the topic stand out in a list of topics. This is not good because all topics are equal when they are created. But yes, i must be bored

I should have remembered it was a Richard Rogers project  :

Not bad for gunchester

Hope they have A Sterling Effort written in silver on the bog door . . .

Sadly not, but someone has written 'Necrophilia: The victimless crime' to which the typical series of follow ups have been posted.

I should have remembered it was a Richard Rogers project  :

I'm not sure his colour palette extends beyond yellow, have you seen the house he designed for his parents?

Today: One of my favourite architects. Steven Holl, Turbulence House, New Mexico, US



In context



Walk-through



Sublime.

Berlin bunker - now converted to an art gallery and luxury appartments

[Bubba]

sublime indeed.

[Houdini]

Looks perfect for a bunch of paper-shufflers/pen pushers.

multipitch roof climb anyone?

Stahl House, LA (1960) Pierre Koenig.

If you're going to have to look at LA, this might as well be your vantage point eh?

[lagerstarfish]

Made me think of this

[Johnny Brown]

Rope Access supervision = my bad self

Peter Zumthor's Thermal Baths in Vasl, Switzerland.

Anyone ever visited a thermal bath? A german architect was telling me they're huge on the continent and was lamenting the size of the sauna's we have in Total Fitness, Fitness World etc.

[Bubba]

Wow! What is it that stone? Looks kinda like marble and glass mixed together.

[Monolith]

Looks like a beautiful stone although I couldn't yet tell you exactly what it is. Really does look like one of the most relaxing environments I think I've ever seen.

[Bubba]

Saw this linked from boingboing - not to my taste but interesting nonetheless.

linky

[Monolith]

Man that's sweet! Party HQ.

[Bubba]

The big central watertank is pretty funky.

Lot's of other interesting stuff on that site (new site to me) if you click the architecture link.

[Monolith]

Class link cheers Bubbs.

Man that's sweet! Party HQ.

If you're after somewhere to party (taste notwithstanding) then you'd do well to beat this place. Supposedly Ronaldinho's pad near Barca.

[Bubba]

aye, some of it is well tacky, but it must be nice to wake up every day to that view...

[Monolith]

What a site and what a size. But tastewise, like you say Jasper, the inside looks like Argos.

[Jaspersharpe]

He is a football player though and in comparison to the usual mock tudor affairs etc it's extremely tastefully done. 

Imagine what it could be like with a few quid spent de-Argosing it.

[Monolith]

It's every WAG's dream isn't it? A whole building full of every item in the Argos catalogue. What more could an insipid and vile aspirant WAG wish for?
