      Fine design in architecture can be quite controversial. There is a defender for every movement and style. I'm going to subject the next series of posts to architecture of all kinds. Feel free to endorse or malign.
      This will of course be done over a period of time.

        The facade of the building is made out of timber, which was obtained from old wine tanks, from the wineries nearby. The use of this material meant that no paints or sealants was required due to the tight-grained nature of the hardwood

                        If you aren't aware of Lebbeus Woods, you certainly should have a look at this incredible visionary architect/artist/ philosopher's work. http://lebbeuswoods.net/

                            I love architecture. I must have been an architect in another life.....anyway, these images show us that design (more or less) could take different shapes.

                              Wow, Thanks for the post. Great stuff.
                              Do you have the architects (conceptualist or otherwise) on the first two images, I would like to follow up. 👍

                                  For the first one, go to project list, and search for 2002 project.

                                  The second one, I found it here, but there is no much info about it.

                                    Well Bravo to Behnisch Architekten. A firm that has a very holistic approach to architecture,their site is really worth a visit. (link on stefanq's post above)
                                    Here is some more teasers.

                                      Mixing it up a little.
                                      Warton Esherick was an artist who worked primarily in wooden sculpture. His home/studio at Valley Forge in Paoli Pennsylvania blurs the line between art and architecture. It touches me, because I think it would be a dream most creative people would like to fulfill, being able to put such expression into the space where we live and work.

                                        Been to the studio and home. Its a pretty amazing little place.
                                        As a woodworker and timber frame designer (homes and commercial) - the whimsical and 'hands on' nature of his work inspired my formative years in the trade.

                                          That doorlatch is really something, as is the carved door. And, speaking of that Ukrainian farmhouse-- the torque(moment) on the supports must be tremendous not to show at least a little sag, especially given the apparent age. Must be different brand of physics. 😄

                                          I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.
