Set in a brief for 2100, the ‘lily pad’ project is aimed at combating rising sea levels, accommodating “ecological refugees”
“It is a true amphibian half aquatic and half terrestrial city, able to accommodate 50,000 inhabitants and inviting the biodiversity to develop its fauna and flora around a central lagoon of soft water collecting and purifying the rain waters.”
This amazing house by HSH architecture stands vertical with a slopping roof and a flat base, which digs underground. It slope is the the same direction as the slope of the terrain. The slope of the house was requested by the investor as he wanted to use the house as a small cinema.

These contemporary pieces are by art collective Haroshi.
Each sculpture is created using the colourful layers of recycled skateboards..
“There are no single USED skateboard that it is bend or scrutched in the same way. As if it is a personality, skateboard has it`s own character. What I am doing is to focusing on each personality and use it`s element to create my work. So I am trying to show the out shoot of the bord beautifully as color of the skatebord looks beautiful when it`s pasted together.”

Back in the day, if you were a creative type – maybe you were a writer, a painter, a sculptor or perhaps all of the above – the only way to communicate your vision was to struggle through the years and wait for someone else with the purse strings to fund your creative pursuits.
Nowadays, thanks to the web, we can skip the middleman and go straight to displaying our own work in the most public of forums mankind has known to date – the art of freelancing online.
But if you are looking to start a blog or website based around your creative vision – where do you even begin? There’s so much more to freelancing than simply displaying your work and hoping that someone with influence will stop by your page – it’s a complex world of marketing and networking.
