What would it take to reimagine the limits of architecture? Débora Mesa Molina offers some answers in this breathtaking, visual tour of her work, showing how structures can be made with overlooked materials and unconventional methods — or even extracted from the guts of the earth. "The world around us is an infinite source of inspiration if we are curious enough to see beneath the surface of things," she says.

First, Google ‘one eye’ symbolism in Hollyweird. Next, look up Satanism. Next, look how Hellywood, MSM and DC are connected. Next, look up TEDs pro pedophilia videos and ask yourself if you see an agenda. Next, see a veterinarian. One that specializes in SHEEPLE.

Very good explanation, and having a woman explain what is assumed to be a man oriented profession is geneous.
It is man oriented.
+Path of Phobos not for long, because my granddaughter is the future too.
I’m in architecture school right now and we have more women in class than men…
+Sam C Ever heard of anecdotal?
Post modernist trash! Stunning? Are you blind…
+J Risner Actually he is right that this is post modern architecture. Go read the first sentence on the Wikipedia page.
“Postmodern architecture is a style or movement which emerged in the 1960s as a reaction against the austerity, formality, and lack of variety of modern architecture, particularly in the international style advocated by Le Corbusier and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.”
I think you could justify calling -with- this postmodern architecture 2.0
The major difference is here they are more interested in expanding the use of materials, rather than the actual forms.
I would also say it’s pretty -hard- harsh to call it trash. I would rather have one of these homes, assuming it meets code, than a boring cookie cutter suburban home.
That house is insane
Oh yeah yeah
Yeah, umm, no
why
This is here?
I can appreciate the house in the thumbnail for the creativity involved in the design however to live there would feel like being inside a twisted nightmare.
The Spain episode of ‘Worlds Most Extraordinary Homes’ features that particular house. Its really not that bad. Try the episode, you’ll understand what I’m saying.
Irrelevant. I live in the UK. Taylor Wimpey wouldn’t even put windows in thier houses if they thought they could dictate the market. Furthermore, the government would stand by and do nothing about it.
Why would you build a massive, ginormous roof that does not even protect the entire audience from something as basic as rain?
It would provide shelter from sideways rain, bet there is a lot of that there.
The construction in the mountains disturbed me.
Best talk in a while
I don’t know, the one about man made dna letters was pretty good and fairly recent.
Earthquake?
Um… what about earthquakes or other disasters? Not sure I want umpteen thousand pounds merely balanced above my head…
