The sound of the body. in some situations, some women remind some men of certain musical instruments. With Teatro Regio, Carlo Mollino about 1973 created an entire Opera House, the curved silhouette of a woman whose Grundriss looks like. On a photo taken at the presentation of the draft, he appeared with his co architects Carlo Graffi - Mollino holds an egg in his hand. The room, which accommodates spectators in 1600, is based on this form. He made no secret of the source of inspiration for the architecture of the entire building: it is the curvy silhouette of a young woman. The main theme is the color red. Something strange is the still authentic style of the boxes: on the expensive places you sit kerzengrade on dainty "Tulip chairs" by Eero Saarinen. Even when the material mix in the break foyer, Mollino was absolutely at the height of his time. He was a classical dignity formulas in white marble only meagerly metered along the stairs. Dominant, however, raw is concrete, which he formed to leaf-like prisms, to achieve the most advantageous ratio of material use and span is. Striking, however, is the reference to the past in the supposedly old arcade, behind the Foyer lies hidden. He also comes from Mollinos hand, is at first glance but more reminiscent of the 19th century. Inside has Mollino also wrapped him in red carpet, built red smash sofas and - of course - spread an egg-shaped marble area in the Centre. So, as if he had still a second stage in mind, on the each visitor in the rest Defilee his own performance in the scene managed to.

I simply adore harlequin floors. I have one in my kitchen that I have loved for years. I want one in the foyer of my next house! The harlequin pattern originated 400 years ago on Italy's theatrical stages, where performers who had honed their acts on the street would engage in improvisational comedy. Harlequin was a "servant" who wore brightly colored diamond-patterned tights and a mask. The pattern has been associated with clowns ever since.There is something altogether comical about this design, though it can also be quite classic. Thanks to the history that is mentioned above, these diamonds are now something of a sophisticated design. The overall design looks particularly spectacular when it is used as flooring. Furniture painted in a harlequin pattern is also popular. Enjoy these pictures and be inspired to try a bit of this pattern in you home. pinterest.com pinterst.com Harliquin floors are associated with the elegance and classical refinement of past ages.

This French provincial house by Douglas VanderHorn Architects is a waterfront sanctuary with views of Long Island Sound harbor, Connecticut.
Built in 1806 as a side-hall house with a tavern, this dwelling, known today as Forest Oaks, became a manor after additions in 1812 and, significantly, in 1916.
The '80s were a fascinating decade. It was a time of excess, brash attitudes, and bold colors. A period when artists dared to dream in every possible direction, and cultural icons didn’t hold back with the creative forces they unleashed. But even though the '80s are widely known as the golden age of Western culture that blessed us with countless gifts, let’s be honest — it's equally weird. Especially stylistically.
Captain Dapper loves old stuff ... maybe even more than new stuff. Perhaps it's because my parents would drag me along to antique stores and flea markets as a kid, but I just love vintage shopping. The musty smells, the dusty finds, the rooms chock full of history ... it feels like home to me. When I found myself with some extra time in Minneapolis Saturday morning, I dragged my friend along to two salvage stores - Architectural Antiques and Art & Architecture. My first stop was Architectural Antiques, which is housed in a big old industrial building in the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District. If you have a thing for religious relics and old churches, this is the place for you! When we were walking in I noticed the old church sign being repurposed as the store's signage and thought, oh isn't that cute? It turns out, that's just the tip of the religious iceberg! Paintings, statues, even pulpits and stained glass windows are around every corner of Architectural Antiques. They were all beautiful but of course they're also very large scale. You'd need a pretty large space to accommodate most of the pieces! Of course, that didn't keep me from trying to imagine how I could use a massive altar in my tiny apartment. And speaking of massive ... This Art Deco station entrance stopped me in my tracks. Look at all the lead glass and beautiful wood! And I love the curved shape. It's probably 15 to 20 feet tall and will set you back $15,000 but it would be a statement piece in a big loft. It's not all church salvage and giant wood doors. There's also a vast collection of vintage lighting, hardware and other home elements. The pricing is a little on the high side for salvaged goods but if you're looking for one stop shopping versus scavenging for cheaper pieces at auctions, this is a good place to start. The next stop for satiating my salvage shopping needs was Art & Architecture on University Avenue. This shop is also housed in an old industrial building but this one has a cute little cupcake shop as well. Mmm ... cupcakes. Although both stores specialize in architectural artifacts, Art & Architecture is quite different from Architectural Antiques. First of all, Art & Architecture doesn't have any church salvage. Instead, you'll find old signage and maps, light fixtures and shades and lots and lots of hardware. This is a great destination if you're rehabbing a vintage house and want to find period pieces. I also stumbled upon a number of little oddities - like a bingo machine, old typewriters and vintage sign letters. In addition to Art & Architecture and Cupake, the building also houses a couple of antique shops on the upper floors. Of course I never pass up an opportunity to shoot a selfie through a mirror.

Angular, geometric shapes, hard edges, and monolithic constructions. You are either in a Lego set or looking at an example of brutalist architecture. It’s a devise style, with some seeing it as the pinnacle of function over form, while others just think of endless, soulless commie blocks, with rotting, exposed concrete.
