heike mutter + ulrich genth: tiger and turtle - magic mountain

"introduced to the public on 13 november 2011, 'tiger & turle - magic mountain' by hamburg-based
duo heike mutter / ulrich genth is a large walkable outdoor sculpture on the heinrich hildebrand höhn
in duisburg, germany. resting on the highest point of the undulating park, the rollercoaster-like
structure allows visitors to walk along its elevated lanes with views of the western ruhr."

"pulling from the rolling nature of the landscape, the three-dimensional sculpture features

a one meter-wide flight of stairs that curves and rises in expressive gestures. much like an actual
rollercoaster, the winding path eventually bends in on itself into a complete - but unwalkable - loop.
the piece required extensive engineering and was developed in collaboration with german architect
arnold walz. LED-lights have been incorporated into the handrails to illuminate the sculpture at night."

came across a post via miss moss this morning about 2 flats in Cape Town CBD designed by architects Wolf & Wolf. love seeing local projects like these.

"we designed a new penthouse loft apartment in the historic Fruit Growers Building in Cape Town. we explored the concept of re-fabrication, using as much of the existing timber on site and re-working it. the result is our take on what a “Cape Town” style loft apartment is. House Wellington 7C is a compact version of 7B. here we explore the idea of compact urban living. the total area is 50m²"
