This is the Ghost House.
Designed by Japanese architecture firm "Datar".
It's all about minimalism.
Well, instead of creating a traditional Japanese house...
they chose to exaggerate the building’s ghostly silhouette,
hmmm.. presenting a mute character. Scale less from the outside.
The house has three levels with a complex set of ramps & steps.
Eh... don't play play ok..
The house was Commended at the 2007 AR Awards For Emerging Architecture lehhh...

A Book Walk?
So surreal right??? and damn damn colourful.
Feel like an ant? *grins*
Check out Cardiff in the UK or the Kansas City Library. Both have the same idea.
but Cardiff’s facade is temporary until the library is remodeled.
The concept is a facade of giant big big books....
hmmm I din see my favorite books lining up there.. hahah encyclopedias..
Anyway, it does creates an extremely surreal experience for anyone passing by.
Nice right??? You don't see this often. Look at our libraries... Shheeeshhh~~
Alrites alrites... So what's your pick???

hi. mich. taking on the minimalist approach is always the more complicated road, because, people tend to see more thru complications. it's easy and straight forward, cheaper. however, the end product of a minimalist design is always full of bliss and spirit.
ash: hahahah SHHhhh... don la advertise my WILDness.. i very InnoCent one ok.. but unlike ur COW la.. hahaaa
team bsg: right right.. hhahah imagine bkt is really all white.. gosh man.. like all plastered.. bleughh..
ktx: precisely.. minimalist is like plain and all white-ish... but the shades and shadows play with the minimum of colours can be very eye catching at times.. so well.. Like what Mies van der Rohe says "Less is More".. lol
