Grass stone

Greenspot are the concrete tiles through which vegetation can grow. Excellent solution that large concrete surface be interleaved with vegetation, and thus enables easier removal of rainwater from the tiles.

Upside Down House

the walls are there ...
the roof is there ...
floor is there ...



But ... There is still something wrong. No, this is an example how the workers built something on your own. Bosses wanted to look just like this.
People say the world is so turned on a header, here's even home. Everything is reversed, the man knows more what's normal. It seems funny, but has a serious message.
In addition to those of their artistic quality, this house has become a big tourist attraction. People stand for hours in line to see what's inside. They say that workers are looking for a break every three hours because it is terribly difficult to do so upside-down.

Architecture: regular and irregular visions

Frank O. Ghery's house in Santa Monica
The architect, in this house, surrounding the existing building with a new building, created by poor materials and recovery. Without destroying the old structure, it creates new spaces and new openings, which seem almost polychrome sculptures, which tilt following the sun. From this arise all the features of the first projects in which experiments, using industrial components such as solar panels, corrugated sheets, plywood and sheets of asbestos, in addition to elements that derive from the urban landscape, such as wire mesh, glass plates and panels. Another characteristic of his projects, which stands out for the first time, but will follow up to today is the fusion architecture with other disciplines such as painting, but especially sculpture.
These buildings posed an extraordinary architectural challenge:to resolve the tension between simple,flat surfaces and surfaces which have irregular shapes but also a good features and intresting perspectives as well as other ordinary buildings.
