Underwater Pavilions
In their latest project Waterscape Japanese studio Misawa Design Institute has created a series of 3d printed underwater fish tank pavilions. Proof that no project is a small project for a creative designer.
From the artist:
The inner space of this fish tank is created by combining two simple elements of container and water, with an extraordinary world created that differs from the world with air…structures that are prone to damage caused by their own weight on land are able to maintain a stable state because of the relative force of gravity and buoyancy.

Tree Drawing Tim Knowles
A series of drawings produced using drawing implements attached to the tips of tree branches, the wind’s effects on the tree, recorded on paper. Like signatures each drawing reveals the different qualities and characteristics of each tree.

Crown shyness
What an interesting word. :D
“Crown shyness is a phenomenon observed in some tree species, in which the crowns of fully stocked trees do not touch each other, forming a canopy with channel-like gaps.“
How do the trees know not to touch each other?
Nobody knows though it’s been studied since the 1920′s.
