I’m blown away by the beauty of this wildlife center in Norway designed by SNØHETTA. It was built for the purpose of allowing visiting children a comfortable and compelling place to observe nature and the animals that live around the area. The exterior is stunning, but the interior gives it a run for its money.
It seems as though more people are embracing hand painted murals/signs nowadays. I’m loving this one by Bryan Patrick Todd in Louisville, Kentucky. It’s located on a building in the Highlands, which is a funky and popular little neighborhood there. Way to embrace your local identity guys!
Happy Friday folks!
128 years ago today the University of Texas campus opened for business. One of my favorite things about attending the university was the plethora of beautiful buildings to study in. The mixture of Beaux-Arts and modern architecture made for an enjoyable campus environment.
If you’ve ever been interested in learning more about the campus, you’re in luck. Our very own Casey Dunn recently finished photographing a historical campus guide for Princeton Architectural Press. It includes some in-depth history and information about the buildings and layout and of course a ton of Casey’s beautiful photographs. Pick up a copy at your local bookstore (or Amazon) today.
The New York times just ran a story about famed writer Norman Mailer’s last home, an apartment in Brooklyn Heights. Mailer died in 2007 at age 84, and the apartment is now being sold by Mailer’s children. If you’ve got $2.5 million it’s yours.
This looks like the coolest place to live, ever. I love the description:
“…a quirky cross between a Victorian parlor and the cabin of a sailing yacht.”
A few images after the jump, but read the full article here and check out additional images.
Our very own, Casey Dunn, has a new portfolio site showcasing his skills in capturing architectural spaces like Blake Griffin dunks. Ole Spacecase gets to spend quality time in the coolest places in town and does a tremendous job styling and documenting them. So get on over to his new site and then tell your mom about it!
