Guess the Building—Rooftop Edition!
This week’s edition of ‘Guess the Buidling’ features model Erin Heatherton on a striking sculptural terrace. Golden sunlight bounces off playful chimneys, creating a dynamic backdrop for this contemporary fashion shoot. Built by a modern master with a penchant for ornament and allegory, this project is a mainstay of academic and popular discussion. Have you seen the warm-toned masonry and arabesque motifs before?
Great Gatsby Architecture? 15 Rip-Roaring Examples Of Art Deco!
Ah, the Roaring Twenties, that decadent period when people tossed tradition out the window and really started living it up.

New York And London Double-Exposed!
Today we’re spotlighting the work of photographer Daniella Zalcman, whose stunning New York + London series of superimposed photos takes Instagram images to a new level. Navigating between travel and art photography, Zalcman documented her major transnational relocation to London from New York with this set of overlapping photographs of both cities. Her meticulous compositions produce synergy and dissonance in the same frame, heightening their visual contrast and strong atmospheric presence. Click through to see more!
Punk-Rock Architecture?—Studded, Spiked Buildings In Honor Of The Met Costume Institute
Studded leather jackets and spiked colors are back, thanks to the Metropolitan Museum’s highly publicized “Punk: Chaos to Couture” show, which opens tomorrow in New York City. And while we know that punk constitutes much more than just stapling some metal accouterments onto your shirt and calling it a day, well, we were so inspired by the exhibition’s spinous fashions that we decided to their architectural equivalents. So cue up some Sex Pistols and click through to see some seriously spiky, badass buildings!
Guess The Building—China Edition!
For this week’s Guess the Building post, Architizer is headed to China! While we constantly find ourselves covering major projects by Western architects that have flocked to the Far East to build (Steven Holl, Coop Himmelb(l)au, PES-Architects to name a few), this set of fashion photos features the amazing work of a local architect with an international reputation! Think you’ve seen that gorgeous striated masonry before? Can you name the building? Tell us in the comments section below.
A seemingly floating point cloud above a water pond and consisting of 12,000 translucent spheres marks the heart of the installation. Due to a complex computer algorithm the spheres are arranged seemingly random within the cloud. At the same time the algorithm observes the positions and projection angles of eight high-speed laser projectors that are being arranged around the artwork. They are sending out beams scanning through the arrangement of the cloud. Generating bright and dim light points, this creates a highly organic and natural distribution of voxels (3D pixels).

This weekend (April 27-28), New Habitat will be hosting a hackathon as part of the Ideas City Festival that will present architecture as an “API” to be hacked. The hackathon will mobilize a diverse group of architects, designers, artists, engineers, and technologists by providing the designs for a proposed building in New York City to be hacked away at, into and through to new ideas for domestic living.
To participate, hackers of all stripe can register on Eventbrite at new-habitat.eventbrite.com.

Check out Dubai’s Amazing Cloud Scape!
German photographer Sebastian Opitz depicts the “golden” city swathed in clouds, just at the moment mist envelops the infamous and ever-growing skyline. Opitz, who has lived in Dubai for the past four years, took the images from the 85th floor of the Princess Tower, a 101-tall residential tower anchored along the city’s marina.
Opitz recasts the sprawling metropolis in a dreamy new light. Dubai is given its cinematic due here: the peaks of skyscrapers are imbued with a bronze-hue, the trunks of towers swirl in eddies of fog, and an entire city is disappears in minutes. As Opitz puts it, “It is so uplifting to be up there during these weather conditions,and being able to capture the moment with your camera after weeks of waiting for the right conditions is more than satisfying.” Click through for more photos!
