Wouldn't like to try parking that Rolls-Royce though, the front looks like it'd be practically invisible from the driver's seat. But man, it does look so elegant.

Hyperlink Book. This is a book that has lines running though the book that hyperlinks with physical string linking all the related items. At first I thought this was drawn lines but it is actually string. Oh my god that must have taken a LONG time to finish and makes it much more impressive.

I'll hazard a guess there aren't many copies of that book in print?

I thought that restaurant was just a German KFC, but it looks like rotisserie chicken, so a little posher maybe. The legs on the service station thingy are genius! Better than the McDonald's rebranding.

I hadn't noticed that detail! Funny what people notice when looking at images.

I like the fast food restaurant, even the rather sickly green colour. It does look incredibly clean, obviously a good thing for a restaurant.

Interesting house on Dezeen website by 05 AM Architecture.



House Boat. This is an interesting adaption of a barge into a house. It is totally different to any other houseboat I have ever seen and is very beautiful.



And finally an Easter inspired church building by Avanto Architects. Courtesy of Dezeen again.
