I love it when interior walls, and in particular decor and doors on upper floors, are exposed because of demolition. [link]

turning the place over

March 30th, 2008 catnip

Today I saw this amazing art/engineering installation in Liverpool. Basically, they’ve cut a huge circle in the side of a disused building, through concrete and glass alike and hooked it up to a huge kind of pivot thingy that rotates the circular section. It’s pretty stunning and creates loads of optical illusions as it goes round. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area.
