Let's look at how some ****** architects have decided to ruin a perfectly beautiful Patagonian vista.

Not sure if anyone saw this on Wallpaper, but a pretty cool concept, especially considering its age. 'Il Girasole,' located in northern italy. Rotating house.

And video here.

Some of the recent buildings posted look Halo Reach inspired.

I thought the home below was pretty cool and unexpected in that location.

So Norman Foster is rumored to be the designer of Apple's new corporate HQ:

http://www.appleinsider.com/articles...ew_campus.html

According to El Economista (via Google Translate), the new "City of Apple" will become the future headquarters of the company. A main focus of the campus will be the environment, as the property will allegedly rely on renewable energy.

The report said that the new "city" will be modeled after innovations planned for the car-free city Masdar in Abu Dhabi. That city, currently under construction, is a carbon-neutral project in which Foster is also involved.

The publication also said that transit on Apple's new headquarters will be accomplished through a network of tunnels, allowing the surface areas to remain green.

Is there some sort of point to that metal webbing that partially blocks out light?

Yep. To get people with bad taste to say, "cool" and buy the otherwise banal, zero-build-cost units.

Secondary purpose is to stroke the arch's ego.

Structurally? Nope. Light control? Sure, for 20 minutes a day.
