Giacomo Costa is an Italian photographer creating visions of a future world where even sci-fi buildings would have rust and almost collapse. It could maybe be called post-future... found on Archidose

This building might not be so different from what used to be Nabuchodonosor's hanging gardens in antic Babylon. Pictures’ quality is unfortunately very poor but you might guess the building’s organization. Ground level is a car park with some weird columns carrying the building itself, then the storeys are organized as a vegetated terraced stair re-producing this aspect of hanging gardens.

Dabawalla represents a urban dimension which does not really exist in western cities. Imagine that every day, your lunch is delivered to your office at the right time by fedex or ups ! That is basically what is happening in Mumbai thanks to Dabawalla. First, you obviously have to subscribe to a list to belong to this network. Then, every day, in the suburbs somebody of your family cook a wonderful lunch for you, puts it in a daba (hermetic cans) and brings it to the closest walla (carrier) who then take the train arriving at 11.30am to the Churchgate station in the centre of Mumbai. After that, walla(s) gather all the daba(s) to be as organised as they possibly can (and believe me they are !) to finally hit the road and deliver the lunch to you with a very systematic precision. Such a phenomena (we are talking about thousand of daba(s)) has urban consequences and provide a chain of food which, I believe does not exist anywhere else at this scale.

Forêt épileptique is an installation of French artists Christopher Berdaguer and Marie Pejus . They often propose some architectural scenarii related to the human body's chemistry. Forêt épileptique creates both a poetic scene and a very stressful perception of it for the visitor. See the video here (down the page) Video 120min. Collection Fond communal Marseille 1/3 ephemere installation : strobe lights, generator. A patch of forest lit by strobe lights set on frequencies oscillating between 9 and 12 hertz likely to trigger light-sensitive epileptical fits.

A film by Peter Kidger, produced for Nic Clear’s Unit 15 course, ‘Crash: Architectures of the Near Future’. Here is an interview of Nic Clear by Ballardian Simon Sellars about his Unit 15 in the Bartlett where movies are being produced to express architecture or urban issues (See this wonderful video by Peter Kidger). Nic Clear called his 2008 studio Crash: Architectures of the Near Future as an homage to James Graham Ballard and the ambiguity he magnificiently describes in his novels.

Trabeculae is a project imagined by Supermanoeuvre , a young "practice" created by Dave Pigram (New York) and Iain Maxwell (London). What they define as projects, research and teaching (AA, Pratt and Michigan mostly) are more or less intermingling for a global creative attitude trying to generate architectures related to variable "social, cultural and ecological" parametrics. In fact, Trabeculae is a project for last Beijing's Biennal extending a previous research called Protosynthesis which was first released for Marc Fornes ' Philadelphia exhibition: Scriptedbypurpose . Trabeculae is the result of reimagining the central atrium office tower. Replacing the traditionnal operation of repetitive extrusion, a heliotropic branching system actively seeks out those areas within the zoning envelope with greatest access to daylight. Forking and swelling in response to varing light conditions, the atrium is thus conceived as a site-specific network that traverses in

Venus grotto is a totally artificial cave built for Ludwig II of Bavaria during second part of the XIXth century for his castle of Linderhof. The King wanted to reproduce the effect observed in Capri's blue grotto so he made a device of dynamos being set up to illuminate the grotto with several colors. It could probably be considered as one of the most expressive example of architectural lyrism.
