    i live about 5 mins from the eden project in Cornwall and visited the Mind house and la Pedrera on a holiday to Barcelona, now just gotta tick the others off :)

  5. The WonderWorks building pictured above is actually in Orlando, FL.

  6. Very fascinating constructive art!!! I admire all art forms, whether I understand them, like them, or want to do what they do.

    BUT, I do NOT passively observe them: I try to inhabit their space with them and feel some of the artists’ skills and beautiful ideas.

  7. no Sydney Opera House?

  8. #17 is just a concept.

  9. very cool Mr T. Thank you.
