Stalinist architecture (also referred to as Stalin's Empire style or Socialist Classicism) is a term given to architecture of the Soviet Union between 1933, when Boris Iofan's draft for Palace of Soviets was officially approved, and 1955, when Nikita Khruschev condemned "excesses" of the past decades and disbanded the Soviet Academy of Architecture. picked by wookiee 2 years ago 7 comments edit related share world |
If only the world of Willy Wonka were real, with skyscrapers made from caramels, chocolate rivers and cities built of shortcake and whipped cream. Living in an edible world is only a dream, but these 10 examples of architecture made from food show that smaller scale versions can be almost as fun. picked by AutumnLotus 7 months ago 3 comments edit related share plime.com |

What happens when art and architecture converge, and artists are left to their own devices to transform a structure inside and out? A wild and bizarre display of works for one of the world’s most architecturally unique exhibitions, creating habitat-like structures and architectural environments that are mental and perceptual spaces as much they are physical. picked by AutumnLotus 11 months ago 3 comments edit related share arts |

Monastic architecture is often spectacular, an attribute seemingly at odds with the ascetic lifestyle of its adherents. Time is a harsh mistress and after centuries of war, religious strife and natural disasters, only the strongest - and strangest - have survived. For that at least, we may be thankful. picked by AutumnLotus 8 months ago 0 comments edit related share world |

Researchers have discovered an important element for making night vision possible in nocturnal mammals: the DNA within the photoreceptor rod cells responsible for low light vision is packaged in a very unconventional way. That special DNA architecture turns the rod cell nuclei themselves into tiny light-collecting lenses, with millions of them in every nocturnal eye. picked by AutumnLotus 7 months ago 3 comments edit related share science |
