Instant Architecture

Bemerton Street, North London

A shop in a shipping container! We're all for it. If it turns out to be a bad location, move it to a new one! We especially like how it has been integrated into its context by adding a brick garden wall and a canopy, and then, a little wrought iron fence detail. A sign of the future? A Starbucks solution?

Falafel and a paper to go, please!

London. Oh, Wow!

Jason Hawkes, British photographer, has done it again. London by night, from the air. Magnificent photography of a beautiful city. It gives us every opportunity to enjoy the undulating, arcing, bisected, constructed, thrill of design, lighting and architecture, compounded. Gorgeous.

Really?

The idea of building cities within a city suffering from housing shortages is growing. This London project anticipates "housing" 100,000 people in a 5,000 foot, swiss cheese-like tower. We're trying to imagine even a half-dozen of these spread throughout a city.
