KUROSHIO SEA

Kuroshio Sea - 2nd largest aquarium tank in the world from Jon Rawlinson on Vimeo.

It was shot at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Japan.
The main tank called the 'Kuroshio Sea' holds 7,500-cubic meters (1,981,290 gallons) of water and features the world's second largest acrylic glass panel, measuring 8.2 meters by 22.5 meters with a thickness of 60 centimeters. Whale sharks and manta rays are kept amongst many other fish species in the main tank.

shit is ridiculous!!!!

JAPANESE DRAIN DESIGN

Kristina Dryza has placed an intriguing post on The David Report about an under-examined piece of Japanese visual culture. As she reports, in the 1980s one Japanese bureaucrat devised a public art project that makes manhole covers a bit more exciting.
The idea to make invisible drainage systems exciting above ground took hold and now 95% of the municipalities in Japan use customized covers.

CASE STUDY HOUSES

I talked about The Eames House in an earlier post, which is actually one of many Case Study Houses built between the 1940's and the 1960's. Based in California, The Case Study Houses were American architectural expirements focused on creating inexpensive and efficient model homes for the United States housing boom caused by the end of World War II. In my opinion, they are works of art. I would love to live in a Case Study House. If not then at least a house inspired by this design.

According to Wikipedia, there were 36 houses planned for production but only 28 were built, along with 2 apartments. Some projects were assigned twice for unknown reasons.
