Cardboard Boxes Become Pixelated Fantasyland
The Parisian architect Stéphane Malka turned an empty room into a gorgeous minimalist landscape by filling it with the humblest of humble objects, the cardboard box. See more at Fastco Design
The Danish Pavillion in Shanghai
Since this is a Danish blog I should be posting this. The pavilion is made by BIG architects in Copenhagen. It contains 1500 of our city bikes, clean harbour water flown in from Copenhagen and our little Mermaid who is on vacation from her usual spot on Langelinie. Since Asian tourists are among the little Mermaids biggest fans, the pavilion has quickly gained popularity at the expo.
Apartments for everybody
A berlin based street artist called EVOL transforms urban surfaces, into miniature architectural
buildings. So if you don’t mind a small apartment I’m sure he can hook you up in no time.
Nested Skyscraper
Made by American architects Ryohei Koike and Jarod Poenisch who received third place at
the 2010 skyscraper competition. There is a kind of Blade Runner feeling to it, I think.

Bouroullec brothers restaurant in Berlin
I just had the pleasure of spending some time in Berlin, celebrating the New Year. I found this sweet little restaurant in mitte, designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. Unfortunately the restaurant opens in mid January 2010, so I didn’t get to eat there. But it looks like a place you would want to go if you’re in Berlin. Oh, it also helps that the chef is Albert Raurich, elBulli’s former chef.

Virtual Realities by NL Architects
I just found this old blog post at dezeen.com. The pictures are made for the Venice Architecture Biennale. Pretty good observations, i’m liking it. There are lots more pictures after the jump.
The Puerto America
So I’m back from a short break in Madrid. Weather wasn’t too good, but luckily we stayed at The Puerto America which had lots to offer. 14 floors with a rooftop pool/spa each designed by different designers and architects. And not just anybody, were talking Zaha Hadid, Norman Foster, Jean Nouvel, Ron Arad and Marc Newson – pretty cool. We had the pleasure of staying at Marc Newson’s sleek, red light district floor. Even though I rather would have spend my time in one of Zaha Hadid’s organic rooms it still was a good experience.

Here I come
I’m leaving for Madrid one of these days. I spend a couple of hours in the airport two years ago and if the city is anything like the airport, it’s going to be a great stay.
Check out the colours that works as a gate indicator. Informational graphics at it’s best.
