Catamount house in Colorado Springs by Indie ArchitectureWednesday, February 16th, 2011This house is a contemporary version of an Earthship, an ecologically benign house type popularized in the 1970s by Mike Reynolds, founder of Earthship Biotecture.

Museum of Polish History in Warsaw by Vlado ValkofTuesday, February 15th, 2011
The proposed hybrid structure of the Museum of Polish History (MPH) located in Warsaw, Poland, is a footbridge, park and building, all three integrated and coherent with the surrounding park environment. Vlado Valkof’s proposal for the MPH facility is a synergy of nature and history and was inspired by the Polish topography of gently rolling fields and plains. Valkof wanted to create a Museum of History dug underground where the local historical values are naturally preserved. The morphology of MPH was influenced by the idea of history as a process of constant transformation. Presented here is only current portion of that continuous process.
