Heinz Isler’s ice structures. 

This is what I would call the art of nature and physics.

Heinz Isler, a swiss engineer, started experimenting with ice just a few years afer graduating from university. He would hang nets, cloth, strings and balloons on trees; supporting them from below with rods. Taking on their natural form through their own weight and the wind, they would then be sprayed with water and ice over to form self supporting structures. A millimeter thick layer of ice was enough to allow the supporting structure to be removed, leaving them suspended.

Using shipping containers to create temporary or permanent structures is becoming more popular. So are pop-up shops. BOXPARK combines the two, thus creating a ‘pop-up mall’. Located within the Shoreditch district in London, England, conceived by London based Roger Wade, and designed by Waugh Thistleton Architects, BOXPARK houses 60+ retail containers.

I have always wanted a slide in my house. Not only the more fun way to get downstairs; it really lends itself well as a handy way to send things downstairs too - books, sweaters, socks, keys, etc.

I’m drawn to the imaginative, simple aesthetics and creation of unique spaces of Japanese architecture. Each space creates a different feeling.
