Street artist / photographer JR’s recent work in Kenya is massive. Rooftops and trains were covered with huge images of Kiberan women. The images are so large that they are visible from space. I love how the photos on the trains line up with the photos on the slopes.

This is an incredible home concept by Norwegian firm Rintala Eggertsson Architects. It retains and absorbs heat, making it energy efficient in a cold climate. I love the contrast between the sleek metal exterior and the warm, wooden interior.

Isolated Building Studies: Revealing Meaning Through Recontextualization is a thought-provoking, sociological project which explores architectural remnants of Chicago’s past. I’m glad that someone has taken the time to recognize the visual impact that buildings like these carry.
