I really enjoy the artwork of artist, skater and designer known as Haroshi. Having grown up a skater and a Super Mario Bros addict I naturally gravitate towards these works in a big way.

I really appreciate this green/sustainable architecture design concept for a French high school by ‘OFF Architecture’ (set to be completed for 2012). Designed to infuse into its surrounding rolling hill landscape, the school will cascade downward and open to a large recreation/sports green space.

These amazing crop paintings are created by planting different colored rice plants in very careful and detailed formations. The end result is [...]
