Solar Path...


This reminds me of a building. It's the result of pinhole photography that tracks the location of the sun throughout the year. Gizmodo.

Takasugi-an


This precarious-looking teahouse was designed by Terunobu Fujimori. At present, in my construction class, we are working on designing a "perch" that is going to be a sort of seat that is 5' off the ground. My group is in the process of designing a sort of "metal tree" seat. This house seemed particularly applicable to the idea of a perch. (Images from Dezeen.com)

Treehouse!

I definitely want to build a treehouse in my backyard when I have the resources/tree availability/space. This one (The Yellow Treehouse Restaurant, designed by Pacific Environments Architects), which I spotted on Contemporist, is a really inspiring one, even if it is a restaurant. I love its permeability and clean form. I imagine eating there would be really exciting.
