Orange and Dark

Here's another weird shopping mall the sky was too blue so I had to delete it from the photos,
that day it had snowed, and after the mall we went walking by the beach
the pigeons were freezing by the water, some miserable cats walked around
everything was quiet

Accumulations of Kusama

I'd been researching Yayoi Kusama's accumulations
but I mostly found some pics of her looking fabulous as alwaysthen some tulips

an accumulation couch

and some more accumulations

and a Soul under the Moon

, and they've been lying around forever in the blog folder
and I was thinking how to make this make sense,
but then why would a Kusama post have to make sense anyway?

The Walls - coming soon

Tange Skopje

I had long heard that there was an unrealised Kenzo Tange proposal for the Skopje downtown, but I hadnt thought that Tange would have a website where every project is listed, under "Masterpieces" no less...
Having mixed feeling though I always love a crazy Metabolist hyberbuilding

Lakeland Florida

Somehow randomly I bumped into the Annie Pfeiffer Chapel by Frank Loyd Wright. Not really being the biggest FLW fan, but the chapel is pretty great in an almost pre-Gio Ponti way.
Then I found out that it is part of the Lakeland Florida Southern College campus, which the master designed and it is today the largest collection of FLW buildings. Here's some cool details:

covered walkways


lakes and fountains

hidden gardenswalls with colored glass tiles etc
