So, I'm sitting around, waiting to meet with a group for a project assigned in my "Design & the
Socio-Cultural Environment" class. As I wait, I've been looking around this amazing site called
Trendir.
Seriosuly, mind-blowing stuff. Lots of ultra-modern buildings, many of them sustainably designed. Very cool stuff. But anyway, I was browsing, and I came across this gorgeous spiral staircase. I doubt any of you know this, but I have a major thing for spiral staircases. And this one. Well, I want it. Enough said. When I have my own home, I
will have a spiral staircase in it, even if I have have to built it myself. No joke, I love these things. Someday, someday.
On another note, as I was looking through the
Trendir site, I got to thinking about one of my favorite buildings, the
Hundertwasserhaus in Vienna, Austria. I know, I know. Austrian. It must just be because I have a history with the place. But no, really. This place is gorgeous. The photo doesn't nearly do it justice, but you might get the general idea. If I remember correctly, it was designed by an artist, so that explains the artsy facade. In any case, definitely one of my favorites. I haven't ever actually seen this place, which is a little upsetting, considering the number of opportunities I've had. Next time I go to Europe, I damn well better get to see it. Maybe I'll make a trip
that'll basically be an architectural tour of Europe.
That'd be amazing. Yum. Maybe my mama's architect friends in Vienna would go along. Then I'd have all sort of knowledge at my disposal.
Hmm.
That'd be nice. Very.
