God is in the details: an Architectural Dream

[starshinesmonet]

In honour of the birthday of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe I thought I might post one of my architectual dreams. After reading an article about 10 Unusual Yet Very Cool Apartment Buildings, I have often dreamed of going on a kind of architecture tour. The tour, I think, would look something like this:

botanist Patrick Blanc's Vertical Gardens (Mur Végétal) in Paris




Friedensreich Hundertwasser's apartment block in Vienna









Urban Cactus” high-rise in Rotterdam



MVRDV Stackable High rise in Rotterdam, Netherlands







WoZoCo's Apartments, Amsterdam








Cubic House in Rotterdam, Netherlands



Inntel hotels, Amsterdam Zaandam





VM Apartments in Copenhagen, Denmark which boast as having the most economic use of space.





Karel Appel House by DUS Architects, Amsterdam





Matchbox Building, Amsterdam






And finally, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House in Illinois.
