Green Roofs In China

Places like New York have been pushing the idea of green roofs for a while now, but I love this take on it by China. Four houses were built on the rooftop of the Jiutian International Square, a shopping mall in Zhuzhou, Hunan province. The houses were built with proper legal & planning permission so not to worry, this is't some crazy ad lib by Chinese people...

Trollstigen Lookout Norway

"The Trollstigen lookout point by Reiulf Ramstad and Jensen and Skodvin is implemented as part of the National Tourist Routes scheme in Norway, which makes its rural natural wonders accessible to tourists. While the structure is gorgeous on its own, what’s even more remarkable is just how respectfully designed and constructed it is. It doesn’t upstage the surrounding mountains, forests and all, which is why people are there, after all, in the first place."

The Cement Factory Loft

The Cement Factory, is a place Ricardo Bofill (Spanish Architect and studied at the School of Architecture in Switzerland)discovered in 1973. "The factory was part of an industrial complex from the turn of the century, comprising over 30 silos, underground galleries and huge engine rooms. Remodeling work lasted two years. The factory, abandoned and partially in ruins, was a compendium of surrealist elements—stairs that climbed up to nowhere, mighty reinforced concrete structures that sustained nothing, pieces of iron hanging in the air; in short, huge empty spaces filled nonetheless with magic. The complex stands in the midst of gardens of eucalyptus, palms, olive trees and cypresses. It also features Ricardo Bofill’s house and guest rooms..."
