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???
