Walls and spaces.

I went to The Design Museum this weekend to see an exhibiton by Jean Prouvé.

He was this amazing French chap who was a bit of an architect, designer, engineer. A damn fine chap who made an awful lot of things possible due to his need to experiment with new materials and building techniques. He was basically the Godfather of an awful lot of modern design and architecture.

Anyway, whilst there i was checking some architectural journals out and stumbled across some most beautiful buildings which i wanted to share with you.

Firstly The Arango Residence in Acapilco, Mexico. This most beautiful building was designed by John Lautner. It looks like the sort of thing that would have been turning up on Yes album covers.

Next was the works of Tadao Ando.

He created The Church of Light.

A church made of concrete i hear you shout. You wouldn't would you? He would! And how nice it is. Imagine dropping a few prayers on a wonderful winter morning, light bellowing in from all angles.

Then we have Alvar Aalto, who, like Jean Prouvé dipped into many creative pies. Again, most of his work was particularly functional

Unstudio is a Dutch firm who do some most incredible things. They created this most amazing building in New York. The interior and exterior shapes are incredible.

Anyway, that really was just a bit of a dump, and a very nice dump!

That's it, i'm done.
