Walstrom House by John Lautner October 13th, 2011 John Lautner was a California based architect that built very inspiring public buildings and private residences. The Walstrom house was constructed in 1969 into the side of a hill in the Santa Monica mountains just outside of Los Angeles. My main interest in this home is of course the use of wood, but also the asymmetrical structure.

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.

Refrigerator Contents Around The World | Photos What does your refrigerator content say about you and your culture? Is there any type of food that is dominating or do you fill your refrigerator up with random groceries?

¿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. 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! Ahora, Brands and Roses, responsable de Yorokobu, también edita libros. Y las historias continúan...

Harvest mouse climbs up a dandelion By Nick Enoch PUBLISHED: 10:26 GMT, 28 May 2012 | UPDATED: 16:34 GMT, 28 May 2012 As this tiny harvest mouse seemed to blow away a dandelion, who knows what it was wishing for. These heartwarming pictures of one of Britain’s most elusive rodents were taken by amateur photographer Matt Binstead last weekend. He said: 'It was lovely to get these shots of the mouse in its element. The harvest mouse - one of Britain's most elusive rodents - was snapped at the British Wildlife Centre in Lingfield, Surrey, by head keeper Matt Binstead. 'I can't remember whether it was the breeze or the mouse blowing the dandelion,' said Mr Binstead 'I can’t remember whether it was the breeze or the mouse blowing the dandelion. 'It is the only British animal with what is known as a prehensile tail that can be used as a fifth limb. 'When wrapped around a stem, it can act as a brake or anchor. 'This makes it very nimble, travelling and feeding in stems of cereals and grasses.'
