Do you remember the great cartoon Up from Pixar? I think all kids dream to make the same trip. On Match 5th National Geographic Channel with team of scientists, engineers, and two world-class balloon pilots realized this idea and set a new world record for the largest balloon cluster flight. 16′ X 16′ house started from the private airfield near Los Angeles and hovering in the air about an hour, reaching a height of 10,000 feet. I’m sure it was a breathtaking performance. Viewers will see this story in new National Geographic Channel series called How Hard Can it Be? Via My Modern Met
The Unique Arc House by Maziar Behrooz Architecture
| Mary | Share: |
This amazing residence was built by Maziar Behrooz Architecture for a small family of two and their two big dogs. Its located in East Hampton, NY, near the local airport and train track. The architects considered this fact and accentuated it in house\\\’s exterior by making it look like an airplane hangar. Such structure does not only look extraordinary, but is also very cost-effective because it doesnt require too many supporting walls or columns inside of the building. The arc contains just some of the facilities, such as living, dining rooms and the kitchen, whereas the rest of the house is very well integrated to the landscape, housing some of the more intimate areas.
The materials for the house were selected with energy saving in mind, making the power consuption of this house much lower than of the typical house of this size.

Unusual Projects: Upside Down Houses
| Mary | Share: |
Only the authors of the projects can explain why their buildings are turned upside down. the tiny village of Szymbark adorns one of these upside down houses, by the way, you see it on the main photo. This creative project was completed by a Polish businessman and philanthropist named Daniel Czapiewski in 2007. Typically, his company builds houses in three weeks, but this project took 114 days because the workers were slightly confused by the structural design. Why was it necessary to put the house upside down? Daniel asserts that it is his view on the current state of the world. I can hardly argue with him. But Czapiewski was not the first. Wonderworks Upside Down Building in Florida was opened in 1998. There are also upside down in California, South Korea, café in Japan and so on.
