Arch: The Salvador Dali Museum
Architect: HOK
Location: St. Petersburg, Florida
Website: http://www.salvadordalimuseum.com
The Salvador Dali Museum of St. Petersburg Florida has officially opened the doors of this stunning new building on the waters of the Tampa Bay. The new museum has replaced another that housed a massive collection of Dali’s works for nearly 30 years, but was not itself indicative of the artist’s wild imagination.
Arch: The Fogo Island Studios
Architecture: Todd Saunders
Location: Newfoundland, Canada
Website: http://www.saunders.no
The Shorefast Foundation and the Fogo Island Arts Corporation commissioned Todd Saunders to design a series of six artists’ studios on various Fogo Island locations. The organisation is committed to preserving the Islanders’ traditions and aims at rejuvenating the island through the arts and culture. Check out some more of the studio after the jump:
Arch: The Tattoo House
Architect: Andrew Maynard Architects
Location: Victoria, Australia
Website: http://www.maynardarchitects.com
The Tattoo house is Andrew Maynard’s latest built project. The building is a small extension to an existing 3 bedroom house in Fitzroy North, Victoria. It features a interesting way to filter light and views. The tattoo was conceived as a continuation of the tree graphic around the simple white box- to soften the impact of this modern addition to a resolutely 19th-century neighbourhood.
