Incredible Sydney Opera House design secret wows the internet

Kartika

The Sydney Opera House is one of the world’s most famous architectural landmarks, known for its dramatic ‘sails’ that stand out over the foreshore of Sydney Harbour. But the process of creating its iconic shape was fraught with challenges.

As one user was recalled on Reddit, the Sydney Opera House’s shells proved to be impossible to make, until the architect realized that they could be produced as sections of a sphere. (See our pick of the famous buildings you should visit for inspiration).

The original winning concept for the venue was drawn up by Jørn Utzon and his team of architects in Hallebaek, Denmark, for a design competition in 1956. However, the initial sketches turned out to be structurally unsound and impossible to build. Engineers at Arup & Partners needed to express the shapes

Think of director Wes Anderson, and you will likely think of his distinct aesthetic.

Possessing a quirky formalism style that plays with saturated hues and symmetry – his aesthetic has taken social media by storm for the past few months – right on schedule, because Anderson’s new film Asteroid City has just reached the silver screen.

while Asteroid City may be set in a fictional desert town, there is an answer to our Wes Anderson dreams in reality – nestled in Joshua Tree in the High Desert of California. And the best part? It’s available to rent via Airbnb now.

Lamborghini motors into house designs with car-inspired luxury villas

Kartika

Many of the world’s premier car designers have developed a surprisingly keen interest in architecture lately. Alongside similar projects by Aston Martin, Porsche, Bugatti and Bentley, Lamborghini has now decided to get serious about its architectural ambitions, revealing plans for a number of high-end villas in Spain.

At first glance, Lamborghini’s increasing enthusiasm for architectural design seems a bit of a head-scratcher. However, there’s serious money to be made in lending its name to luxury housing. For example, its prior Dubai development was in such high demand that it was sold out before it was even built.

This latest project is named Tierra Viva and will consist of 53 exclusive villas located on a sloping site near the village of Behanavís, outside Marbella, which has long been a favorite destination for the rich and famous. The villas will come in three different styles and will be positioned to make sure

This colorful Colorado home will reshape everything you thought you knew about decorating with pattern |

Kartika

It’s safe to say that not many turn-of-the-20th century houses in Colorado feature gutsy floral curtains and pelmets, matching wall and window treatments and skirted floral lampshades, but few are lucky enough to have British design duo Nicole Salvesen and Mary Graham at the helm of their renovation.

The house, located in a former mining town at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, features traditional American millwork (think hand carved bannisters, chunky newel posts and high oak skirtings) and a classic timber front.

But its English country house interiors are a reflection of the British heritage of one half of the couple who lives here: ‘I settled in America more than a decade ago,’ she says, ‘but during the pandemic I craved the comfort and familiarity of the interiors I grew up with: that relaxed mix of patterns, colors and antiques that feel refined but not overly precious.’ Grandmillennial decor

You can build anything you set your mind to in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Sometimes, those things are deeply convoluted – but sometimes, you get to build a house.

Keiji Ashizawa and Norm Architects design interiors for “hotel in the sky”

Kartika

Japanese designer Keiji Ashizawa and Danish studio Norm Architects have unveiled their design for the Bellustar Tokyo hotel, which aims to evoke a sense of nature in the middle of Tokyo’s urban Shinjuku district.

The two studios worked together to design interiors for five penthouse suites as well as hospitality spaces for the top floors of the Bellustar Tokyo, 200 meters above the ground in Shinjuku’s Kabukicho tower.

Norm Architects and Keiji Ashizawa Design had to take the city views from the building into account when designing the hotel rooms, which are spread over three levels from the 45th to the 47th floor.

Biden is planning White House events marking the January 6 attacks

Kartika

By Trevor Hunnicutt

(Reuters) – US President Joe Biden plans to mark the second anniversary of the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol with a White House ceremony, according to a timetable released by his office on Monday.

Friday’s event will mark a rare moment for Biden to address immediate issues sparked by deadly riots by supporters of his Republican predecessor Donald Trump. Their actions interfered with the Democrats’ 2020 victory certification.

Biden condemned the unrest as a threat to democracy and the rule of law, but he has rarely discussed his predecessor’s name publicly and has framed his presidency to unify and heal the country’s partisan divisions.

Entering his third year in office, Biden said he intends to seek another four-year term but has not formally nominated him.

Trump, who has never conceded defeat in the 2020 election, has announced that he will seek re-election in his party
