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/

Another artist who's created environments are inspirational and visionary is David Vineis a French digital artist, designer, and Art Director. http://www.sub88.com/

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.

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.

About so called "flying farmhouse", I searched like a mad man more info, and I'm sorry for doing it. I mean, the magic is gone. Not only it's not unique, but it doesn't seams to me so special, being able to see "over the illusionist shoulder".See for yourself
By the way, I searched with google earth
Link for the original one:

and the other one I found ( still, don't know the meaning of them)

I'd love to see Esherick's place. I first saw it in a Fine Homebuilding article,(way too many) years ago, and I just really found it appealing.

Yes that latch is pretty cool. I think Esherick had a lot of influence in the American crafts movement, although he started out as a painter. I just think it would be really fulfilling to surrounded by details like this as opposed to the ones from Home Depot.

I love the font. They even make it for a mac. This is one of those I will have fun with.
As for the Farm House. the first post always looked like a rendering to me, so it's interesting to see it probably was some sort of grain storage loading building, much like the North American grain elevator.
It looks ripe for a upgrade to a residence.
