Reflective Ponds and Alternating Open Spaces: the Strand Residence
Characterized by an overwhelmingly-diverse geometry, the Strand Residence in Dana Point, California inspires opulent modern living. The imposing residence was envisioned by Horst Architects as a series of open spaces, strongly rooted in the environment. Every room offers extensive ocean views and reflecting ponds at each level ensure a soothing atmosphere.

![Building a city in the middle of nowhere
Living in a temporary camp under the scorching sun, heavy winds and the omnipresent desert sand doesn’t sound too desirable at first. But if you consider the time there as an urban experiment–one that integrates you into an artistic community building a temporary city–the balking fades.

Each year around 50,000 participants set out to become part of a momentary community in the harsh living conditions of a Nevada desert. Towards the end of summer, the Burning Man Festival lures crowds to the Black Rock Desert, USA. The participants create Black Rock City, a town that vanishes after just one week and is then rebuilt each year. In this urban experiment the citizens form solo and communal camps; some are the fruit of yearlong preparation, while others are last minute improvisations.
Leaving nothing behind when they pack up is one of these core principles and one of the most intriguing parts of the event. Thinking of an ephemeral city, heaps of trash spring to mind; festivals often mean destruction and soiling of nature. But the Burning Man Festival is impressive in its departure from this norm. After seeing the amazing architecture the community creates, it is almost unimaginable that it disappears after seven days.

Beach Bar Pavilion Los Carpinteros
“A wood-slat egg-shaped pavilion on the beach just steps from the Atlantic may be the most popular art intervention of the Art Basel Miami fair, which closes this Sunday. Commissioned for the fair by Absolut Vodka’s “Art Bureau,” the lantern-like pavilion comes with an orchestra that plays specially-commissioned music by Joan Valent outside until 11 P.M. Inside is a vodka bar, where bartenders wave martini shakers to the beat of the music.” [via]
