by Stefan, posted in Design And Concept, on April 23rd, 2010

If you happen to cross matadero cultural centre located in Madrid, Spain, do not forget to take note of the captivating infomab10 pavilion. The pavilion recently finished by studio kg is mobile so we are not just certain how much more time will it spend at its current location.

The entire pavilion was made using a pre-built glass-fiber reinforced polyester water tank that has an overall volume of 28m cubed. The design also features 100 circular holes drilled into the tank to allow natural light inside of the pavilion. When these holes glow at night, it is reminiscent of the constellation we are so used to viewing at all times. The pavilion gets stairs that lead up to a couple of doors that facilitate circulation through the pavilion. The fact that this structure is mobile will make it more popular as it can be transported anywhere.

Robert Cannon Creates Magic with Moss and Concrete

by Stefan, posted in Design And Concept, on April 16th, 2010

If you thought moss is something you should always get rid of, you need to see how Robert Cannon, a Yale graduate interested in Architecture, works his magic. Robert, a multi-award winning genius is able to create overwhelming sculptures with moss and concrete. These modern and aesthetic sculptures are capable of adding a unique touch to your garden or even the terrace. The images of the sculptures are good enough to confirm the great aesthetic value of these designs.

These pieces are really beautiful and interesting. They are art pieces. If I has the space for them I would definitely like to include them in my home design. My favorite piece would have to be the horse, mostly because I have a thing for horses. Although, it looks a little creepy with those holes in the eyes. Each and every piece from this collection is unique and very beautiful.

This is not something that you see very often. It’s obvious that the one who created these pieces has a lot of talent. They would make a great addition to a beautiful garden. It’s a really unique collection and art lovers probably agree with me. I really don’t know what else to say about this collection other than it’s beautiful. It’s quite amazing how the creator managed to do this with nothing but concrete and moss. Actually that’s pretty clever, to use moss in the design, because it gives the sculptures an animated touch.
