The House of the Infinite, Cádiz, Spain by Alberto Campo Baeza | via

On a marvelous place like a piece of earthly paradise, at Cádiz, we have built an infinite plane facing the infinite sea, the most radical house we have ever made. At the very edge of the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, where the sea unites the new and the old continent, emerges a stone platform. At the place where all the ships from the Mediterranean used to pass and still pass by as they head off into the Atlantic.

There we have erected a house as if it were a jetty facing out to sea. A house that is a podium crowned by an upper horizontal plane. On this resoundingly horizontal plane, bare and denuded, we face out to the distant horizon traced by the sea where the sun goes down. A horizontal plane on high built in stone, Roman travertine, as if it were sand, an infinite plane facing the infinite sea. Nothing more and nothing less.

To materialize this elevated horizontal plane, which is the main living room of the house, we built a large box with 20 meters of frontage and 36 meters deep. And under those first 12 meters we excavated two floors in the solid rock to develop the whole living space.

Dispute over 2012 Olympic cauldron design settled out of court

London 2012 Olympics organisers have agreed an out-of-court settlement with Atopia following a legal dispute over the cauldron design by Thomas Heatherwick.

Does this mean Heatherwick did rip off the design of the London 2012 cauldron? #fallenidol #gutted

McCann Worldwide flew to a volcano in Costa Rica where it took the inhabitants of an entire village a full week to pluck two lorries full of flower petals. Special effects were used to “explode” the petals over the landscape in order to show Sony Bravia’s detailed vista.
