Interesting Lighting Ideas

I really like how they added a little ground lighting underneath the concrete deck. Lighting the siding in the corners is a pretty brilliant idea too. It just gives the home so much more dimension.

Saw this one on interest recently. Casting the shadows from the exterior trees creates an incredible effect on the translucent window. Really clever.

Lighting the cars from underneath really show cases the cars. What really makes this special is the mirrored ceiling. Being able to enjoy the cars from every angle is brilliant.

Gigantic Architectural Organic Columns

Through a kind of architectural anthropomorphism, Henrique Oliveira reveals the building’s structure. At Palais de Tokyo, he plays on the space’s existing and structuring features, prolonging and multiplying pillars in order to endow them with a vegetable and organic dimension, as though the building were coming alive. The artist draws inspiration from medical textbooks, amongst others, and particularly from studies of physical pathologies such as tumors. Through a formal analogy, these outgrowths evoke the outermost layers of the bark of a common tree.

Wow, pretty impressive installation. It’s always incredible to see this kind of work integrated with architecture.

Pretty fun cooking some of this stuff. I’ve gotta go on a diet though… Too much red meat.
